Optoelectronic module for fiber optic cables
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11953741B2) discloses an optoelectronic module designed for use with fiber optic cables. The module comprises a housing with a partition surface, first and second sidewalls, and one or more slots defining bearing surfaces. A receiving member with ports for fiber optic cables is supported by the partition surface and connected to deformable retaining members that limit its movement within the housing. An optoelectronic device within the housing facilitates optical connections with the fiber optic cables. The design also includes engagement members on the receiving member, a biasing member for maintaining engagement, and optical receptacles with a receptacle retaining member to limit movement.
Furthermore, the patent details various configurations and features of the optoelectronic module, such as the use of biasing members with EMI attenuating properties, tabs and plates for retaining members, and optical receptacles with flanges to prevent movement. The module also includes a PCB, transmitter, and receiver within the housing for electrical connections. The design incorporates multiple slots with bearing surfaces to ensure secure positioning of the retaining members and prevent movement of the receiving member. Additionally, the housing is divided into first and second portions, with the second portion releasably connected to the first portion, allowing for easy assembly and maintenance of the module. Overall, the patent highlights a comprehensive and innovative approach to optoelectronic modules for efficient use with fiber optic cables.
