Abstract

A transceiver module including a primary printed circuit board and a secondary printed circuit board in an enclosure is presented. The primary printed circuit board is coupled to the secondary printed circuit board by a connector pin that protrudes out of a critical surface of the enclosure. The printed circuit boards may be positioned substantially parallel to the critical surface of the enclosure. When a transmitter is electrically connected to the primary printed circuit board and a receiver is electrically connected to the secondary printed circuit board, the transmitter and the receiver may be positioned in a plane that is also substantially parallel to the plane of the critical surface.
