Claims
- 1. A shielding cage assembly for accommodating a plurality of transceiver modules, comprising:
a body cage including a bottom wall and two side walls; a plurality of dividing walls arranged in said body cage, cooperating with said body cage side walls to form a plurality of channels therein; and a cover cage engaging with said body cage to form a plurality of hollow spaces between the bottom wall, side walls, dividing walls and cover cage for receiving transceiver modules therein.
- 2. The shielding cage assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein a plurality of retaining members extend from upper edges of said body cage side walls and said dividing walls, respectively.
- 3. The shielding cage assembly as claimed in claim 2, wherein a plurality of slots is defined through said cover cage to accept the retaining members of the body cage side walls and dividing walls.
- 4. The shielding cage assembly as claimed in claim 3, wherein each slot has a seam portion and an enlarged opening in communication with the seam portion.
- 5. The shielding cage assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein said cover cage, body cage side walls and dividing walls further include a plurality of mounting pins extending from bottom edge thereof.
- 6. The shielding cage assembly as claimed in claim 5, wherein said body cage further includes a plurality of notches defined through the bottom wall to accept corresponding mounting pins of the dividing walls.
- 7. The shielding cage assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the dividing walls are arranged in complementary pairs, and member dividing walls of each pair are abutting back-to-back.
- 8. The shielding cage assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of said body cage side walls further includes a soldering tab extending from an upper edge thereof.
- 9. The shielding cage assembly as claimed in claim 8, wherein said cover cage further includes a pair of short slots to accept the solder tabs therein.
- 10. The shielding cage assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein a plurality of spring tabs extends outwardly from the body cage and the cover cage for EMI suppression.
- 11. The shielding cage assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein said cover cage has a pair of front side walls and rear side walls.
- 12. A shielding cage assembly for accommodating a plurality of electronic or optoelectronic components therein, comprising:
a conductive cage; and a plurality of vertical inner partitions arranged in said conductive cage forming a plurality of hollow spaces therebetween for receiving the electronic or optoelectronic components therein.
- 13. The shielding cage assembly as claimed in claim 12, wherein said conductive cage includes a cover portion and a body portion.
- 14. The shielding cage assembly as claimed in claim 13, wherein said cover portion further includes a plurality of slots in alignment with a correspond plurality of retaining elements extending from said body portion and said vertical inner partitions.
- 15. The shielding cage assembly as claimed in claim 12, wherein a plurality of mounting pins extends from said conductive cage and vertical inner partitions for being received in mounting holes of a circuit board.
- 16. The shielding cage assembly as claimed in claim 15, wherein said mounting pins are larger than said circuit board mounting holes, so as to create an interference fit between said mounting pins and said circuit board mounting holes.
- 17. The shielding cage assembly as claimed in claim 12, wherein said vertical inner partitions are removable from said conductive cage.
- 18. The shielding cage assembly as claimed in claim 12, wherein each hollow spaces is identical.
- 19. The shielding cage assembly as claimed in claim 12, further including a plurality of EMI suppression tabs formed on said conductive cage.
- 20. A shielding cage assembly for receiving a plurality of modules therein, comprising:
a lower cage including a bottom wall; a plurality of releasing tabs formed on a front edge section of the bottom wall; an upper cage located above the lower cage in a parallel relations, and cooperating with the lower cage to define a space therebetween; two sides walls located on two sides of said lower cage and said upper cage, each of said side walls integrally from one of said lower cage and said upper cage to engage the other for securing the lower cage and the upper cage together; a plurality of dividing walls discrete from but perpendicularly extending between said lower cage and said upper cage, each of said dividing walls defining two opposite ends respectively engaged with the lower cage and the upper cage for securing each of said dividing walls to both said lower cage and said upper cage; wherein
said dividing walls separate said space into a plurality channels, and each of said channels is equipped with one of said release tab for releaseably latchably receiving one of said modules therein.
