ABSTRACT:
Pluggable fiber optic modules having a receive printed circuit board and a transmit printed circuit board perpendicular with an interface printed circuit board with an edge connection. The edge connection of the interface printed circuit board to plug into and out from an edge connector of a host printed circuit board. A transmitter optoelectronic device is coupled to the transmit printed circuit board. A receiver optoelectronic device is coupled to the receive printed circuit board. The pluggable fiber optic modules may further include a support base, a nose receptacle, and an alignment plate.
