Abstract
A delatch mechanism for disengaging a data communication module from a cage includes an actuator handle and a T-shaped crank connected at a wrist pivot to the handle and connected at a crank pivot to the module housing. The crank pivots to lift a pin out of engagement with the cage when a user pulls on the actuator handle, causing it to slide relative to the housing.
