Abstract
The present invention relates to an electrical receptacle for a transceiver, which receives a bundle of copper wires, instead of optical fibers, for transmitting and/or receiving a plurality of parallel signals over short distances. The electrical receptacle includes an electro-magnetic interference (EMI) shield fully enclosed by the housing of the transceiver module and grounded thereto by spring fingers extending between the EMI shield and the housing. The receptacle according to the present invention enables the overall height of the transceiver module to be kept to a minimum.
