Abstract
The optoelectronic transceiver includes a housing, an optical transmitter, an optical receiver, a memory, and an interface. The optical transmitter, receiver, memory, and interface are each disposed at least partially within the housing. The memory is configured for storing information relating to operation of the transceiver. The interface is configured to allow a host to read from host specified locations within the memory. The optoelectronic transceiver also includes a first row of at least five substantially parallel and elongate pins extending from the housing, and a second row of at least five substantially parallel and elongate pins extending from the housing. The second row is substantially parallel to the first row. The optoelectronic transceiver also includes two electrical contacts each aligned with at least one of the first and second rows. The two electrical contacts are configured to be electrically coupled to the interface.
