Transceiver system

Abstract

A transceiver for a two-connector system includes a circuit board, at least one cable attached to the circuit board, and a housing arranged to contain the circuit board. The two-connector system includes a front connector and a back connector. When the transceiver is connected to the two-connector system, a front edge of the circuit board is arranged to engage with the front connector and an intermediate portion of the circuit board is arranged to engage with the back connector.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of manufacturing a transceiver, comprising:
 computer numerical control routing a circuit board;   laser routing at least one edge portion of the circuit board to obtain a tolerance of +/−0.001″ for mating with a 0.5-mm pitch connector; and   arranging the circuit board within a housing.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 fusibly connecting a plurality of cables to a plurality of pads of the circuit board;   coating a first epoxy over at least one cable of the plurality of cables and at least one pad of the plurality of pads; and   curing the first epoxy.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 after curing the first epoxy, coating a second epoxy over at least one other cable of the plurality of cables and at least one other pad of the plurality of pads; and   curing the second epoxy.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 before curing the first epoxy, coating a second epoxy over at least one other cable of the plurality of cables and at least one other pad of the plurality of pads; and   curing the first epoxy and the second epoxy simultaneously.
