    Abstract: An optoelectronic module and optoelectronic connector assemblies can be used for releasable connection of a laser source to the module from a location exterior to the module. The construction of the optoelectronic connector assemblies is such that both in connection and disconnection, the electrical contacts are broken before the optical contacts so that the laser may power down before the optical connection is broken. The optoelectronic connection assemblies have blind mating features. Some versions are free of any latching or mechanical interconnection of the optoelectronic connector assemblies to each other. A spring has a construction which permits it to be received onto a cable by lateral movement of the spring.

    Abstract: Fiber optic network systems are implemented, at least in part, using very small form factor (VSFF) interconnect components such as VSFF duplex connector; VSFF mechanical transfer ferrule (MT) connector; VSFF duplex uniboot connector; VSFF MT uniboot connector; VSFF duplex adapter; VSFF MT adapter; VSFF duplex pluggable transceiver; VSFF MT pluggable transceiver; VSFF patch cable assembly; VSFF trunk cable; and/or VSFF breakout cable. The VSFF fiber optic network systems can define fiber breakout cabling that connects large trunk cables to many peripheral network locations. The network systems can define branches and sub-branches from a trunk cable. The network systems can define cross-connect sub-networks between sets of transceivers or adapters. The network systems can define a trunk-to-transceiver cabling assembly for connecting a trunk cable to at least 32 transceiver ports.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to the pluggable connection of an optoelectronic module with an optoelectronic connector assembly from a location exterior to the optoelectronic connector assembly. An optoelectronic module comprises a housing having a proximate end and a rear end in a longitudinal direction; a ferrule arranged adjacent to the proximate end of the housing; an electrical contact arranged adjacent to the proximate end of the housing and stacked with the ferrule in a vertical direction; a biasing members configured to bias the ferrule in the longitudinal direction once pressed; and a guiding member extending in the longitudinal direction and configured to guide the optoelectronic module connected to another optoelectronic module. The optoelectronic connection between the optoelectronic module and the optoelectronic connector assembly has blind mating features.
