Abstract
The device includes a housing, a printed circuit board, a first optical subassembly, a second optical subassembly, and a lever. The device is pluggable to a host structure. The housing has a flange. The printed circuit board is mounted to the housing. The first and second optical subassemblies are mounted to the printed circuit board. The lever is rotatably mounted to the housing. The lever includes a rotatably mounted portion, a hook, and an actuation surface for actuation by a user. In a plugged into and locked position of the device with the host structure, the flange of the housing is in electrical communication with a faceplate of the host structure, and the hook engages a slot.
