Patent attributes
The present disclosure provides a liquid-cooled transceiver assembly. The liquid-cooled transceiver assembly comprises a removable communications module and a receiving bay assembly. The removable communications module includes a faceplate connector to receive a signal from an external device, a signal conversion chip that is coupled to the faceplate connector, and a lever assembly. The lever assembly can engage the receiving bay assembly such that the signal conversion chip is aligned with and makes an electrical connection with an electrical socket disposed on the receiving bay assembly. The removable communications module is inserted into the receiving bay assembly which when fully assembled functions as a liquid-cooled transceiver assembly.
