A housing of a Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable transceiver module includes a metallic casing and a plurality of elastic grounding assemblies. The metallic casing has a lower casing, a plurality of partitions and an upper casing. The lower casing is connected to the upper casing. The partitions are provided between the lower casing and the upper casing at intervals, thereby separating the interior of the metallic casing into a plurality of accommodating spaces. The accommodating spaces each receives a connector of a transceiver module, thereby forming a plurality of ports. Thus, the connectors of the transceiver modules share the common housing, thereby reducing the occupied space on the circuit board and increasing the number of the transceiver modules arranged on the circuit board.

An out-of-band to optical conversion component is provided that uses a transmit disable signal and a receive loss of signal (LOS) signal built into optical small form-factor pluggable transceiver and cable to pass the out-of-band protocol between serial attached SCSI enclosures. The transmit disable signal, when asserted, turns off the optical output, while the receive LOS signal detects the loss of signal. The out-of-band to optical conversion component sits in line on the serial attached SCSI data traffic and strips off the out-of-band signals from the serial attached SCSI expander so that only data flows over the optical cable. The out-of-band to optical conversion component sends the out-of-band signals to the other enclosure using the transmit disable pin on the small form-factor pluggable transceiver and cable. The other enclosure receives the message on the receive LOS signal and transmit it back onto the serial attached SCSI receive data pair.

A SFP checking device (SFP Check) connects to a SFP transceiver and a PC or laptop via a USB cable. The SFP Check uses the default web browser of the PC, without an internet connection, to display details of the SFP transceiver such as wavelength, description, range, manufacturer, among other information, in accordance with program code provided to the PC via the SFP Check. All of the information a technician in the field needs to determine which SFP transceiver is the right one for a selected application and optical link is available from the SFP Check. The SFP Check and SFP transceiver both receive power via the USB cable connection to the PC. The SFP Check appears to the PC as a memory stick. A method is provided for determining the drive letter associated with the SFP Check and the program coder or file(s) it provides to the PC.

The technology relates to a cage configured to removably receive a module. The cage may include a frame comprising a plurality of panels joined to one another, a lever pivotably coupled to the frame, and a heatsink pivotably coupled to the lever. The panels together may extend around a longitudinal recess configured to receive the module therein. The longitudinal recess may define a longitudinal axis thereof. A first one of the panels may have an aperture defined therein in communication with the longitudinal recess. A first end of the lever may extend into the longitudinal recess. The heatsink may be pivotably coupled to a second end of the lever opposite the first end. The heatsink may be movable in a translation direction transverse to the longitudinal axis. The heatsink may be translatable between a first position outside of the longitudinal recess and a second position partially inside the longitudinal recess.
