Patent ID: 8687966

Claim:
A transceiver module comprising: a housing having an aperture; a printed circuit board at least partially enclosed in the housing; a transmitter optical subassembly communicatively coupled to the printed circuit board for transmitting high-speed data over optical fiber; a receiver optical subassembly communicatively coupled to the printed circuit board for receiving high-speed data over optical fiber; a diagnostic assembly communicatively coupled to the printed circuit board, the diagnostic assembly comprising at least one light-emitting diode, each light-emitting diode configured to simultaneously emit both a visible first diagnostic output capable of being understood by the human eye and a modulated optical second diagnostic output capable of being understood by a computer, the first diagnostic output containing different diagnostic data than the second diagnostic output, each visual first diagnostic output representing an operational status of either the transmitter optical subassembly or of the receiver optical subassembly.
