Patent attributes
An optical transceiver according to the present invention is a pluggable transceiver to be inserted into a cage of the host system. To release the latching mechanism with the cage, the present transceiver has a bail, a resin-made receptacle member, and a resin-made actuator. The receptacle member attaches the bail in a pivotable arrangement. The bail has a cam to convert its rotation into a seesaw motion of the actuator. The actuator provides a hook in one end thereof, and the seesaw motion of the actuator pulls this hook within the transceiver. Thus, the latching between the transceiver and the cage may be released.
