Abstract
An example embodiment includes a latching mechanism configured to selectively secure a communication module to a receptacle of a host device. The latching mechanism includes a latch, a cam, and a latch release. The latch includes a latch hook and a latch protrusion. The cam is mechanically coupled to the latch release. The cam is positioned with respect to the latch such that an activation force applied to the latch release translates the cam to contact the latch protrusion and displace the latch hook.
