Abstract: A module housing for minimizing electromagnetic radiation leakage and a transceiver module built with this housing are presented. The housing includes a cover and a base disengagably coupled to each other, and a first and second layer of sidewalls located between the cover and the base. The two layers of sidewalls have different dimensions from each other so that a printed circuit board is enclosed in a space formed by the base, the cover, and either only the second layer of sidewall or both the first and second layer of sidewalls, depending on the thickness of the board. Another aspect of the invention is a pcb coupled to a connector and a housing for the pcb that includes an electromagnetic radiation shield between electronic components on the pcb and the connector. The shield reduces the amount of radiation reaching the connector. Also disclosed is a method of building this module.

Abstract: An electromagnetic radiation containment system is provided for use in connection with functional modules and an associated card cage disposed in the chassis of an electronic equipment enclosure. The electromagnetic radiation containment system includes conductive elements uniformly distributed about the perimeter of a functional module configured to be received within the card cage, and further includes grounding elements in electrical communication with the chassis so that when the functional module is positioned within a slot of the card cage, at least some of the conductive elements are in electrical communication with the grounding elements. The uniform distribution of the conductive elements on the functional module(s) enables the functional modules to be arranged above and below each other, as well as side by side, without compromising the electromagnetic radiation containment functionality that is afforded when each of the slots of the card cage is occupied.

Abstract: An optical transceiver module characterized by reduced electromagnetic interference (“EMI”) emissions for improved operation is disclosed. The transceiver includes a housing formed by top and bottom housing portions that are joined to define a cavity. A printed circuit board (“PCB”) is positioned within the cavity and includes an edge connector extending from one housing end. The PCB also includes two holes defined near the edge connector and lined with electrically conductive material. Conductive plates located on both the top and bottom housing portions electrically connect with the conductive holes to electrically interconnect the top and bottom housing portions. Two posts on the top housing portion are received into the conductive holes to align the PCB with the housing portions. A chassis ground from one or both of the housing portions extends through the plates and holes to create a “chassis ground fence,” preventing EMI emission from within the transceiver cavity.
