Patent ID: 7917037

Claim:
An optical transceiver module, comprising: a housing having body and a shell; at least one component contained within the housing that produces an electromagnetic field; a first electrically non-conductive compliant shield composed of a material that attenuates electromagnetic fields, the first compliant shield arranged between the at least one component and a top side of the shell such that the first compliant shield is pressed against the at least one component by the shell without being fixed to the shell or the at least one component, wherein the first compliant shield attenuates the electromagnetic field produced by the at least one component; and a second electrically non-conductive compliant shield composed of a material that attenuates electromagnetic fields, the second compliant shield arranged between the at least one component and a bottom side of the shell so as to form a sandwich configuration without being fixed to the shell or the at least one component such that the at least one component is surrounded on at least two sides by the first and second electrically non-conductive compliant shields.
