Abstract
An optical transceiver module is provided with a delatching mechanism that allows module mounting density to be increased while also providing an ergonomic solution that allows the modules to be easily delatched and extracted from their cages. The delatching mechanism is configured to perform early disengagement of the module housing from the cage by delatching the module housing from the cage after the bail has been rotated to an angle that is less than 90°. Because delatching occurs when the bail has been rotated to a delatching angle that is less than 90°, the modules can be more densely stored with less space between modules that are mounted one above the other than with existing solutions.
