ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an optical module having a pluggable configuration, which enables to latch with the cage when the optical connector is mated with the receptacle. The optical module of the present invention is secured in the cage by latching the latch of the cage and the projection of the module. The actuator of the module, having a slab protruding into the optical receptacle, is able to slide along the direction the module is inserted into the cage. When the optical connector is in the optical receptacle, the slab of the actuator butts the optical connector and is prohibited to slide, accordingly, the optical module can not released from the cage.
