Abstract
An optical transceiver system includes an optical transceiver chassis including a cable connector, a laser subsystem, and a sensor subsystem. A controller included in the optical transceiver chassis is coupled to the laser subsystem and the sensor subsystem. The controller receives a cable connection signal from the sensor subsystem that indicates that a cable has been connected to the cable connector included on the optical transceiver chassis and, in response, activates the laser subsystem. Subsequent to activating the laser subsystem, the controller receives a cable disconnection signal from the sensor subsystem that indicates that the cable has been disconnected from the cable connector included on the optical transceiver chassis and, in response, deactivates the laser subsystem.
