Abstract

A transceiver module is configured for insertion within a cage. The cage has a cage latch that retains the transceiver module in the cage. The transceiver module has a housing configured to receive any one of at least two different release mechanisms. Each of the release mechanisms is movable between a first position and a second position, wherein the cage latch is not deflected when the release mechanism is in the first position, and wherein the cage latch is deflected when the release mechanism is in the second position such that the transceiver module can be removed from the cage.
