Abstract
An SFP transceiver cage ( ) comprises a mainframe ( ) and a rectangular grounding device ( ) mounted around a front portion of the mainframe. The mainframe includes two sidewalls ( ), a sidewall cover ( ), a top plate ( ), a bottom wall ( ), and a rear cover. The mainframe and grounding device are each preferably made from a single piece of metal plate. A central spring latch ( ) is formed at a bottom of the mainframe, and two kick-out spring arms ( ) respectively extend from rear edges of the sidewalls. Each kick-out spring arm has a frontmost portion ( ) resiliently abutting against a rear wall ( ) of a corresponding SFP transceiver module ( ) inserted into the cage, and a second portion ( ) resiliently abutting against the rear cover of the cage. The module is thus resiliently and securely received in the cage.
