The assembly housing 100 has a guide groove 101 formed therethrough along the length direction. An adapter module 110 is slidably disposed in the guide groove 101. An optical fiber interface 211 and a twisted pair interface 212 are spaced apart at one end of the adapter module 110 in the height direction.

[0023] According to the solution provided in this embodiment, the adapter module 110 can be extended and retracted along the guide groove 101, so that the adapter module 110 can be stored when not in use, thereby better protecting the optical fiber interface 211 and the twisted pair interface 212 and preventing the network transmission speed from being reduced due to dust accumulation.

[0024] See Figure 1 A limiting mechanism 120 is provided on one side of the guide groove 101 in the width direction, and the limiting mechanism 120 is used to cooperate with the adapter module 110 .

[0025] Specifically, the limiting mechanism 120 can limit the adapter module 110 , thereby better achieving the storage of the adapter module 110 .

[0026] See Figure 5 The limiting mechanism 120 includes a limiting groove 504 formed with the side wall of the guide groove 101 , and a limiting block 514 is correspondingly formed at the adapter module 110 , and the limiting block 514 is used to slide with the limiting groove 504 .

[0027] Specifically, the limiting groove 504 and the limiting block 514 can limit the distance that the adapter module 110 extends out of the guide groove 101 .

[0028] See Figure 1-6 A first channel 427 extending along the width direction of the component housing 100 is formed at the limiting groove 504, a locking rod 221 is slidably provided at the first channel 427, a first spring 222 is provided in the first channel 427, the first spring 222 is used to maintain the locking rod 221 against the adapter module 110, a limiting column 6211 is formed at one end of the locking rod 221 away from the first spring 222, a limiting hole 213 is correspondingly formed at the side wall of the adapter module 110, and the limiting column 6211 corresponds to the limiting hole 213.

[0029] Specifically, the limiting column 6211 can abut against the limiting hole 213 , thereby maintaining the adapter module 110 as a whole located in the guide groove 101 .

[0030] Furthermore, a first threaded hole 4271 is formed at one end of the first channel 427 away from the first spring 222 , and a first cover plate 223 is provided at the first threaded hole 4271 . The first cover plate 223 is used to be threadedly matched with the first threaded hole 4271 .

[0031] See Figure 2-7A second channel 428 connected to the first channel 427 is formed at one end of the component housing 100 in the height direction, and an unlocking rod 224 is slidably provided in the second channel 428. A second spring 225 is provided at the end of the unlocking rod 224 away from the first channel 427, and the second spring 225 is used to keep the unlocking rod 224 away from the first channel 427; a first inclined surface 7241 is formed at the end of the unlocking rod 224 close to the first channel 427, and a second inclined surface 6212 is correspondingly formed on the side of the locking rod 221 close to the second channel 428, and the second inclined surface 6212 is used to slide with the first inclined surface 7241; a pressing column 7242 is formed at the end of the unlocking rod 224 away from the first channel 427.

[0032] Specifically, when the pressing column 7242 is pressed, the unlocking rod 224 moves toward the telescopic rod direction, so that the first inclined surface 7241 cooperates with the second inclined surface 6212, forcing the locking rod 221 to overcome the squeezing force of the first spring 222 and move away from the adapter module 110, thereby separating the limiting column 6211 from the limiting hole 213, so that the adapter module 110 can partially extend out of the guide groove 101.

[0033] Furthermore, a second threaded hole 4281 is formed at one end of the second channel 428 away from the first channel 427 , and a second cover plate 226 is provided at the second threaded hole 4281 .
