Since the optical communication industry using optical fiber network transmission has become the center of the communication industry because it can provide fast and large-scale information transmission, and the optical fiber application products related to optical communication are becoming more and more important.
The optoelectronic industry is currently a field of application that combines electronics (electronics) with optics (optics). The key components are optical transceiver modules, which include an optical transmitter (optical-transmitter) and an optical receiver (optical-receiver) or an optical-transceiver module (optical-transceiver) integrating both of them. The function of an optical transmitter is to convert electrical signals into optical signals for transmission, while the main function of an optical receiver is to convert received optical signals into electrical signals.
The optical transceiver module has been developed from an early GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) surface to a MINI GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) with a smaller size, to an sff (Small Form-Factor) surface and a QSFP +/QSFP DD/OSFP … with hot-swap function developed according to the industry requirement. However, since the size is too small to be easily inserted and removed by a user, the optical transceiver module with the ejector mechanism is derived.

As shown in fig. 15, when replacing or disassembling the optical fiber transmission module with other specifications, a user only needs to hold the pull handle 24 by hand to drive the sliding member 2 to move toward the opposite direction of the connector socket 3, so that the pair of elastic arms 251 of the elastic member 25 moves along the pair of guiding portions 141 to form an outwardly-extended energy storage type. At this time, the stopping piece 212 of each extending arm 21 is inserted into the front end of the limiting groove 131 (see fig. 8) corresponding to the sliding groove 13 to define the displacement distance of the pair of elastic arms 251 along the pair of guiding portions 141, and the unlocking protrusion 23 at the end of each extending arm 21 will jack up the elastic locking piece 31 during the displacement process, so as to pull the fiber transmission module out of the connector receptacle 3.
