Patent ID: 8790022

Claim:
A data communication module, comprising: module electronics configured to process data communication signals; a module housing, the module housing having an elongated rectangular shape elongated in a direction of a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end, the first end of the module housing having a module port for receiving a signal cable, the second end of the module housing having electrical contacts, the module electronics providing a processing path for the data communication signals between the module port and the electrical contacts; an actuator handle having a shape elongated in a direction of the longitudinal axis and slideably disposed with respect to the module housing in the direction of the longitudinal axis; and a substantially T-shaped crank having a first arm structure and a second arm structure oriented substantially perpendicularly to the first arm structure, the first arm structure having a first end pivotally connected to the module housing at a crank pivot and a second end having a pin extending therefrom, the second arm structure having a first end fixedly connected to a portion of the first arm structure between the first end of the first arm structure and the second end of the first arm structure, the second arm structure having a second end pivotally connected to the actuator handle at a wrist pivot, the wrist pivot slideably disposed with respect to the module housing in the direction of the longitudinal axis.
