Abstract
Optical communication equipment used in data center interconnection (DCI) applications includes a chassis, having one or more panel modules or line cards and an earring bracket for securing the chassis. Also included is an extended management bracket, extending from the chassis, and an extended function module extending from the extended management bracket, located in an area in front of the chassis. A cable can be provided between the chassis and the extended function module, supporting data transmission therebetween. Alternatively, or in addition, a printed circuit board assembly can be mounted within the chassis, extending outside the chassis, along or within the extended management bracket, from a proximal end to a distal end of the extended management bracket, configured for connection to components of the extended function module, where the printed circuit board assembly supports data transmission and/or power supply between the chassis and components of the extended function module.
