Abstract
An improved disconnect structure for SFP optical transceiver modules uses a slidethat travels relative to the module housing over a limited range. The slidehas operating pieceswhich are elastically displaceable to elastically displace a spring plateof the cage in a direction to release the locked state. The slide initially moves relative to the module housing to deflect the spring plate downwardly and release the locked state. When the slide then reaches the end of its range of motion relative to the module housing, further withdrawal of the slide pulls the module housing along with it, removing the module form the cage.
