ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an optical transceiver system for use in a host device including an optical transceiver receptacle or cage with a heat dissipating structure mounted thereon. The heat dissipating structure is electronically powered by an external source in the host device, which are electrically connected by insertion of a transceiver module into the transceiver receptacle. The present invention enables optical transceivers to support very high data rates, e.g. >8 Gb/s, while still supporting very high density applications, e.g. SFF/SFP. Actuating features on the transceiver module and cage enable the heat dissipating structure to be turned on when the transceiver module is fully inserted into the cage, and turned off when the transceiver module is removed or at least partially removed from the cage.
