    Abstract: A pluggable network interface device is provided comprising a split-shell housing having a shielded side portion that protects a side of a circuit substrate disposed in the split-shell housing. The split-shell housing comprises a first shell portion that covers a first side of the circuit substrate and a second shell portion that covers a second side of the circuit substrate that is arranged opposite the first side. The shielded side portion is inset from a width of the split-shell housing and offset a distance from an electrical interconnection end of the circuit substrate. The shielded side portion is arranged at least partially in a notch of the circuit substrate disposed at the electrical interconnection end of the circuit substrate.

    Abstract: A communication device includes a mechanical shell, which is configured to be inserted into a Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) receptacle and contains a notch configured to hold a ferrule for mating with a connector of a passive optical cable. The mechanical shell includes molded upper and lower covers, which are joined together along an assembly line. A pair of elastic clips are molded integrally with at least one of the upper and lower covers and are configured to receive and hold the connector when mated with the ferrule. Circuitry within the shell includes electrical terminals configured to mate with corresponding terminals of the receptacle.

    Abstract: A pluggable network interface device includes a printed circuit board (“PCB”) and a housing configured to receive a heat transfer plate selected from a set of swappable heat transfer plates. An upper surface of the housing includes a set of modular plate receiving features. When in an assembled state, the upper surface of the housing is attached via the set of modular plate receiving features to one heat transfer plate of a set of heat transfer plates. The overall height of the pluggable network interface module in the assembled state is greater than a first assembly height dimension measured from a base surface of the housing to the upper surface of the housing. The set of modular plate receiving features are configured to engage with any heat transfer plate in the set of swappable heat transfer plates that are associated with different module types.

    Abstract: A pluggable network interface device includes a printed circuit board (“PCB”), a housing, and a heatsink. The heatsink includes a first surface and a second surface, disposed opposite the first surface, that is maintained in direct contact with a surface of a heat-generating circuit of the PCB. The housing includes an outer shell defining an exterior of the housing, a receiving cavity disposed inside the outer shell, and an aperture extending through a first side of the outer shell from the exterior of the housing into the receiving cavity. A portion of the PCB and the second surface of the heatsink are disposed inside the receiving cavity while a portion of the heatsink extends from within the receiving cavity through the aperture arranging the first surface of the heatsink adjacent the exterior of the housing.
