Abstract
An optical module having a latching mechanism to allow the module to be latched to a cage of a host system is disclosed. The latching mechanism includes a latch boss that can be engaged by a latch attached to the host cage to capture the module. The latching mechanism also includes a latch key that slides towards the latch boss to disengage the latch from the latch boss. The latch key is moved by a bail that rotates and exerts a force on the latch key by a cam surface.
