Abstract
An example embodiment includes a cable clip. The cable clip is configured to maintain engagement of an optical interface with a lens assembly included in an optoelectronic module. The cable clip includes a forward section, a clip body, a connector retention mechanism, a lens latch, and a release lever. The clip body is connected to the forward section at a clip shoulder. The connector retention mechanism is configured to retain the optical interface and extends from the clip body. The lens latch is positioned at a first end. The lens latch is configured to latch the lens assembly when a portion of the optical interface is received within the lens assembly. The release lever is connected to the forward section. The release lever is configured to unlatch the lens latch from the lens assembly in response to application of an actuation force above a particular threshold magnitude.
