Abstract: An interconnect system includes various anti-backout latches that are movable between an engaged position and a disengaged position. When in the engaged position, the anti-backout latches can be configured to prevent an interconnect module, such as an optical transceiver, from becoming unmated from a host module. When in the disengaged position, the anti-backout latches permit the interconnect module to become unmated from a host module. Securement members are also disclosed that secure a heat sink to a module housing of the interconnect module.

Abstract: An optical transceiver can include a transmitter and a receiver. The optical transceiver is configured to mate with an electrical connector in first and second orientations that are opposite each other. In certain examples, a thermally conductive surface of the transceiver is configured to be placed in thermal communication with a heat dissipation member in one or both of the first and second orientations. Further examples of optical transceivers can be mounted to a base and placed in electrical communication with an electrical connector. A lid provides a compressive force that simultaneously makes electrical contact between the transceiver and a host printed circuit board (PCB) and provides a low impedance heat transfer path to dissipate heat generated during transceiver operation.

Abstract: An interconnect system includes a first circuit board, first and second connectors connected to the first circuit board, and a transceiver including an optical engine and arranged to receive and transmit electrical and optical signals through a cable, to convert optical signals received from the cable into electrical signals, and to convert electrical signals received from the first connector into optical signals to be transmitted through the cable. The transceiver is arranged to mate with the first and second connectors so that at least some converted electrical signals are transmitted to the first connector and so that at least some electrical signals received from the cable are transmitted to the second connector.
