Device for releasing a transceiver fixed in a housing via a connection from the housing

1. A device for releasing a transceiver fixed in a housing via a connection from said housing,

wherein said device is releasably connectable to said transceiver via first releasing means and wherein said device has second means for releasing said connection between said transceiver and said housing,

wherein said device can be releasably connected and inserted into a plug contour of said transceiver via said first releasing means,

wherein said first releasing means is configured as a counterplug to said plug contour of said transceiver,

wherein said second releasing means is configured as a wedge arranged on said device such that, when said device is inserted into said plug contour of said transceiver, said first releasing means engages with said plug contour, and

wherein after connecting said device to said transceiver via said first releasing means, the locked inter-connection between said transceiver and said housing is released by said second releasing means when pulling out said device.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said connection between said transceiver and said housing is configured as a locking connection.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said first releasing means has a locking contour for snapping into said plug contour of said transceiver.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said first releasing means are configured as an LC plug.

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said second means is configured as a hook element.

6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said first releasing means and said second releasing means can move relative to each other, so that when inserting said first releasing means into said plug contour of said transceiver, the connection between said transceiver and said housing is released by said second releasing means.

7. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said first releasing means at the same time constitutes said second releasing means.

8. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said device is configured as a single piece.

9. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said device is made by the plastic injection molding process.

10. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said transceiver is configured as an optical transceiver.

11. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said transceiver is configured as an SFP transceiver.

12. A transceiver system for converting light into an electrical signal, said transceiver system comprising:

(a) a transceiver releasably mounted in a housing via a connection from said housing;

(b) a releasing device for releasing said transceiver from said housing via a connection from said housing, said device further comprising:

(i) first releasing means for releasably connecting said device to said transceiver by inserting said device into a plug contour of said transceiver; and

(ii) second releasing means for releasing said connection between said transceiver and said housing,

wherein said first releasing means is configured as a counterplug to said plug contour of said transceiver, and

wherein said second releasing means is configured as a wedge arranged on said device such that, when said device is inserted into said plug contour of said transceiver, said first releasing means engages with said plug contour, and

wherein after connecting said device to said transceiver via said first releasing means, the locked inter-connection between said transceiver and said housing is released by said second releasing means when pulling out said device.

13. The transceiver system of claim 12 , wherein said first releasing means has a locking contour for snapping into said plug contour of said transceiver.

14. The transceiver system of claim 12 , wherein said first releasing means are configured as an LC plug.

15. A device for releasing a transceiver fixed in a housing via a connection from said housing, wherein said transceiver is configured as an SFP optical receiver, said device further comprising:

(a) a hook element for releasably connecting said device to said transceiver by inserting said device into a plug contour of said transceiver wherein said connection between said transceiver and said housing is configured as a locking connection and said hook element at the same time is configured to release said transceiver from said locking connection, and

(b) a releasing means configured as a wedge arranged on said device such that, when said device is inserted into said plug contour of said transceiver, said hook element engages with said plug contour,

wherein after connecting said device to said transceiver via said hook element, said locking connection is released by said releasing means when pulling out said device.

16. A device for releasing a transceiver fixed in a housing via a connection from said housing, according to claim 15 :

wherein said device is releasably connectable to said transceiver via first releasing means,

wherein said device has second means for releasing said connection between said transceiver and said housing,

wherein said first releasing means is configured as an LC plug,

wherein said first releasing means at the same time constitutes said second releasing means, and

wherein said first releasing means is a locking contour.

17. The device according to claim 16 , wherein said connection between said transceiver and said housing is configured as a locking connection.

18. The device according to claim 16 , wherein said device is made by a plastic injection molding process.

19. The device according to claim 16 , wherein said transceiver is configured as an optical transceiver.
