Abstract
An EMI shield for a transceiver module includes a plurality of collapsible fingers that allow the shield to be sealed at the corners when the transceiver is inserted into a receiving cage. The fingers of the shield are made with a designed interference with the cage, so that the fingers are compressed when the module is inserted into the cage. A pattern of peaks and valleys on the fingers bordering the corners of the shield allows the two adjacent fingers to mesh when the module is inserted into the cage. The meshing of the peaks-and-valleys pattern of the bordering fingers allows the shield to be sealed with a gap width under 0.015″.
