Abstract
An optical receptacle connector includes a receptacle housing having housing walls defining a contact cavity and an optical cavity. The receptacle housing includes an upper wall and a lower wall at a front of the receptacle housing defining a card slot receiving a mating edge of an optical module circuit board of a pluggable optical generator module. The upper wall includes an upper wall opening above the card slot. A contact assembly having receptacle contacts is received in the contact cavity to supply power to the pluggable optical generator module to operate a light source of the pluggable optical generator module. A receive optical connector is coupled to the receptacle housing above the upper wall opening and mated with a supply optical connector of the pluggable optical generator module to receive optical signals from the supply optical connector.
