Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a transceiver module having a flexible circuit contained within a housing. The flexible circuit has various electronic components and either a photodiode or a laser transmitter disposed on and electrically connected to it. In alternate exemplary embodiments, both a photodiode and a laser are disposed on and connected to the flexible circuit. In addition, there can be electrical contacts disposed on and electrically connected to the flexible circuit. These electrical contacts can take the form of pads that are a standard form factor pluggable configuration, such as the Multisource Agreement Standard Form Factor Pluggable (MSA SFP) standard.
