Abstract:
1. An optical transceiver module adapted to be mated with a cage, the module comprising: an elongated delatching pull tab comprising: a slider having first and second side slide members that are in parallel planes and a transverse member interconnecting the first and second side slide members, the transverse member being mechanically coupled to the distal end of the elongated handle, the first and second side slide members having delatching features formed thereon; and a module housing mechanically coupled to the slider and to the distal end of the elongated handle, wherein if a force is exerted on the proximal end of the elongated handle in a first direction and with a magnitude sufficient to cause the pair of cantilever spring arms to be positioned in the fully-loaded state, the slider is pulled in a direction that is parallel to the first direction causing the delatching features formed on the first and second side slide members to press outwardly against first and second opposing sides of the cage, thereby causing the module housing to be delatched from the cage to enable to module to be extracted from the cage.
