Abstract
A pluggable optical transceiver module includes two optoelectronic devices mounted to a printed circuit board, and a High Speed Serial Data Connector connected to the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board, and associated optoelectronic devices and the High Speed Serial Data Connector being mounted in a housing. One of the two optoelectronic devices is a transmitter. The other of the two optoelectronic devices is a receiver. The pluggable optical transceiver module converts optical signal to electrical signals, and, also, converts electrical signals to optical signals. The High Speed Serial Data Connector is pluggable into a High Speed Serial Data Connector receptacle of a host device. Another portion of the module may have ports for receiving LC style fiber optic connectors.
