Abstract
A small form-factor (SFP) module for insertion into an SFP cage having a spring latch is provided. The SFP module has a housing with an open ended chamber configured to accept a plug. A latch tab is formed on and projects outward from a wall of the housing. The latch tab securely engages the spring latch when the SFP cage and module are engaged with one another. The SFP module also includes a pull release mounted to the housing which is slidable along a range of motion. The pull release has a release member extending outward from a body. The release member moves along a side of the latch tab to a fully released position to disengage the spring latch from the latch tab.
