Abstract

The present invention is to provide an intelligent pluggable transceiver improving EMI tolerance with a simple mechanism. The optical transceiver of the invention includes upper and lower housings, a holder, optical assemblies, a cover, a substrate and a grip. The optical assemblies are fixed with the upper and lower housings together with the holder by interposing a conductive elastic member. Although the rear end of the substrate is exposed outside of the transceiver, the shield gasket and the ground pattern on the substrate shield the contact portion between the substrate and the upper housing, and between the substrate and the cover. Moreover, the grip and the latch lever installed in the lower housing, and the elastic piece realize the latching/releasing mechanism of the transceiver with the host system.
