ABSTRACT:
An improved disconnect structure for SFP optical transceiver modules uses a slide21that travels relative to the module housing over a limited range. The slide21has operating pieces28which are elastically displaceable to elastically displace a spring plate18of the cage in a direction to release the locked state. The slide initially moves relative to the module housing to deflect the spring plate downwardly and release the locked state. When the slide then reaches the end of its range of motion relative to the module housing, further withdrawal of the slide pulls the module housing along with it, removing the module form the cage.
