ABSTRACT:
An optical connector latch assembly for an optoelectronic module that can releasably engage an optical fiber connector that is received in a receptacle of the optoelectronic module. In one example embodiment, an optical connector latch arm includes a base, a shaft extending from the base, and a hook extending from the shaft. In this example embodiment, the base defines a complementary structure that is configured to engage a complementary structure of an OSA connector block. Also, the hook is configured to releasably engage an optical fiber connector.
