Claim:
An optoelectronic transceiver assembly, comprising: a cage defining a receiving space therein with an opening, and comprising a retaining tab configured around the opening, wherein the retaining tab defines a retaining hole therein; a transceiver module received in the receiving space through the opening, the transceiver module comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a fixed latch disposed on the first surface and mating with the retaining hole so as to fix the transceiver module in the cage; and a release mechanism comprising a release trigger and a release lever, inflexibly connected together, wherein the release lever is disposed between the retaining tab and the first surface of the transceiver module, wherein the release trigger resiliently abuts the second surface; wherein when the release trigger is pressed towards the second surface, the release lever is subsequently driven to disengage the fixed latch from the retaining tab.
