Abstract
Abstract An optical transceiver module for a communication device. The communication device is provided with a printed circuit board, a socket, and a cage with an engaging member. The optical transceiver module comprises a chassis, an optical subassembly, a housing, and a separating portion. The chassis, having a protrusion, is disposed inside the cage in a removable manner. When the optical transceiver module is located inside the communication device, the chassis is located inside the cage and the protrusion engages the engaging member. The optical subassembly is disposed on the chassis. When the optical transceiver module is located inside the communication device, the optical subassembly connects with the socket. The housing is attached to the chassis so that the optical subassembly is located between the chassis and the housing. The separating portion, integrally formed on the chassis, pushes the engaging member to separate the protrusion and the engaging member so that the optical subassembly separates from the socket.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
99 words
An optical transceiver module, adapted for a cage with an engaging member, comprising: a chassis, having a protrusion, disposed inside the cage in a removable manner, wherein the protrusion engages the engaging member when the chassis is located inside the cage; a separating portion, integrally formed on the chassis, for pushing the engaging member to separate the protrusion and the engaging member, wherein the separating portion comprises: a main rod integrally formed on the chassis; and an actuating rod integrally formed on the main rod in a manner such that the actuating rod can rotate around the main rod.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
99 words
An optical transceiver module, adapted for a cage with an engaging member, comprising: a chassis, having a protrusion, disposed inside the cage in a removable manner, wherein the protrusion engages the engaging member when the chassis is located inside the cage; a separating portion, integrally formed on the chassis, for pushing the engaging member to separate the protrusion and the engaging member, wherein the separating portion comprises: a main rod integrally formed on the chassis; and an actuating rod integrally formed on the main rod in a manner such that the actuating rod can rotate around the main rod.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
