Abstract
An opto-electronic transceiver assembly comprising a socket for receiving an optical transmission medium and a securing structure for receiving an opto-electronic device. The socket and securing structure are designed so that the optical transmission medium and the opto-electronic device become connected upon receipt by the sleeve device. The sleeve device may then be securely attached to a printed circuit board. In an alternative embodiment, the securing structure is a receiving slot into which the opto-electronic device may be inserted. In yet another alternative embodiment, the receiving slot includes a support shelf which supports and which is thermally coupled to the opto-electronic device.
