摘要： An apparatus, in accordance with particular embodiments, includes an interface configured to establish connections within a copper network. The apparatus also includes a receptacle configured to receive a conventional small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module or a compact SFP module and to direct the SFP modules to a first connector. The first connector connects either of the SFP modules to the node. A pin of the first connector is configured to receive a module detection signal and to transmit data to the compact SFP module. The apparatus also includes a low pass filter coupled to the pin of the first connector that passes the module detection signal to the node. The apparatus is further configured to establish two duplex connections with an optical fiber network if the compact SFP module is connected and to establish one duplex connection with the optical fiber network if the conventional SFP module is connected.

摘要： Adaptive power setting techniques for optical transceivers are provided. Optical signals are received at a first optical transceiver device that are transmitted from a second optical transceiver device. A receive power of the optical signals received at the first optical transceiver device from the second optical transceiver device is determined. A characteristic of optical signals transmitted by the first optical transceiver device to the second optical transceiver device is modulated to indicate to the second optical transceiver device a disparity of the receive power with respect to a target receive power level at the first optical transceiver device. Conversely, the first optical transceiver device adjusts a power level of optical signals transmitted by the first optical transceiver device to the second optical transceiver device based on a characteristic of the optical signals received at the first optical transceiver device.

摘要： A pluggable module for releasable engagement with a computing device includes a first end portion, a second end portion and a release tab structure. The release tab structure connects with the first end portion to facilitate removal of the module from the port of the computing device and has a generally U-shaped profile including two elongated arms spatially distanced from each other and extending transversely from the first end portion and terminating at a crossbar that connects between the elongated arms. Portions of the elongated arms and the crossbar extend within a plane that is separated a sufficient distance from the cable connector so as to facilitate 360° of access around the cable connector during connection and removal of the cable connector with the cable connection port.
