Abstract
An electrical connector includes an entry slot, first and second transmitter electrical pins, and first and second receiver electrical pins. The first and second transmitter electrical pins and the first and second receiver electrical pins are provided on the entry slot. The entry slot accepts a multi form-factor pluggable transceiver which has first and second optical transmitter channels and first and second optical receiver channels. The first transmitter electrical pins are electrically connected to first transmitter electrical pads of the first optical transmitter channel. The second transmitter electrical pins are electrically connected to second transmitter electrical pads of the second optical transmitter channel. The first receiver electrical pins are electrically connected to first receiver electrical pads of the first optical receiver channel. The second receiver electrical pins are electrically connected to second receiver electrical pads of the second optical receiver channel.
