ABSTRACT:
An EMI system is provided for use with an optical transceiver module. The EMI system comprises electrically conductive spring fingers that are movably disposed in a slot formed in the transceiver module housing such that a part of each spring finger is in contact with a part of the metallic transceiver module housing and such that a part of each spring finger is in contact with a part of one of the metallic ports. Because the spring fingers are movable within the slot formed in the module housing, the spring fingers maintain contact with the housing and with the ports during movement of the ports, i.e., as the ports float. Because the ports are allowed to float without causing the contact between the ports and the spring fingers or between the spring fingers and the housing to be lost, the ports automatically align with the connectors when the connectors are connected to the ports. Thus, the need for performing an active alignment process to align the ports with the connectors is avoided.
