Abstract
A system includes a housing having a front panel, a substrate that is positioned at a distance from the front panel, and a data processor mounted on the substrate. The system includes a pluggable module having an optical module, at least one first optical connector, a first fiber optic cable optically coupled between the optical module and the first optical connector, and a fiber guide positioned between the optical module and the first optical connector and provides mechanical support for the optical module and the first optical connector. The optical module receives optical signals from the first optical connector and generates electrical signals based on the received optical signals, and the electrical signals are transmitted to the data processor. The pluggable module has a shape that enables the pluggable module to pass through an opening in the front panel to enable the optical module to be coupled to the substrate.
