A transceiver includes, (a) a communication circuit, which is configured to exchange signals between a cable and a communication unit when the transceiver is connected to the communication unit, and (b) a housing, including: (i) a first shell including a substrate having the communication circuit disposed thereon, (ii) a second shell, which is configured to connect with the first shell for encapsulating the communication circuit, the second shell has an opening facing the communication circuit, and (iii) a base plate, which is fitted in the opening and including a first surface having one or more cooling fins formed thereon, and a second surface, opposite the first surface that is facing the communication circuit, the base plate is configured to transfer heat between the communication circuit and the cooling fins.

Mechanical thermal interface for improved heat dissipation in network transceivers

A transceiver module for providing operational resilience is presented. The transceiver module is configured to receive first data via a first optical module in a first configuration of operation and detect, using an adapter that is operationally connected to the first optical module, an operational failure of the first optical module. In response to detecting the operational failure, the transceiver module is configured to switch, via the adapter, from the first configuration of operation to a second configuration of operation by: automatically engaging a second optical module; triggering the first data that was initially directed into a first input port of the first optical module to be directed into a second input port of the second optical module; and receiving the first data from a second output port of the second optical module.

Transceiver module

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.
