ABSTRACT:
Fiber optic modules, retention mechanisms, cages or receptacles and their electrical connections. An conductive elastomer is used to provide an electrical connection between contacts of a fiber optic module and contacts of a host printed circuit board or between contacts of a fiber optic module and contacts of an electrical connector. Hot-pluggable electrical connections for fiber optic modules are also described including parallel data connections for small form factor fiber optic modules.
