20090245736 | Connector attachment to a low height profile module - A connector attachment to a low height module is described that has a lid configured with an attached spring extension that is substantially planar to the lid. At the end of the spring extension is a spring or compressing mechanism that fits over an external mechanically transferable (MT) ferrule, the ferrule being connected to a ribbon of fibers or communication lines. The external ferrule is fitted to a side of the low height profile module that has an opening to couple the communication lines to the interior/devices in the module.
