Abstract
An improved EMI shield assembly for transceivers is provided in the form of a metal shielding cage that has interengaging cover and base portions. The cover portion has two sidewalls that include leading edges that flare outwardly so that the cover portion sidewalls ride up and over the sidewalls of the base portion. Catches are formed in the base portion sidewalls that have curved surfaces which engage the flared portions to further facilitate the assembly of the shielding cage assembly.
