Abstract:
An apparatus configured to function as a pluggable single-wavelength bidirectional transceiver in a switching network. The apparatus includes: a 2×1 fusion coupler; an input/output optical fiber, a detector optical subassembly (OSA) fiber and a laser OSA fiber all connected to the 2×1 fusion coupler; and a transceiver that includes a transceiver electronic circuit printed wiring board (PWB) and laser and detector OSAs electrically coupled to the transceiver electronic circuit PWB. The laser OSA includes a laser that is situated to transmit light to the laser OSA fiber, while the detector OSA includes a photodetector that is situated to receive light from the detector OSA fiber. The transceiver electronic circuit PWB also includes a multiplicity of transceiver input/output metal contacts arranged at one pluggable end of the PWB.

Claim (Index 3):
The apparatus as recited in  claim 2 , further comprising a metal base and a metal cover, wherein the transceiver electronic circuit printed wiring board and the metal cover are attached to the metal base, and the metal cover is open at one end to expose the transceiver input/output metal contacts, thereby enabling the corresponding metal contacts on an application hardware to be in contact with the transceiver input/output metal contacts when the one end of the transceiver electronic circuit printed wiring board is plugged into that application hardware.
