Wuhan, June 25,2010, Wuhan Telecom Device (WTD), a technology and market leader on optical transceiver products in China, announced that it has been awarded U.S.patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office regarding its bail type unlocking and resetting device for hot pluggable opto-electronic module technology.

According to WTD, the unlocking and resetting part is key structure part for SFP module, which decides the installation and dismantlement of transceiver on board of equipments. It plays an important role on the flexibility and reliability of telecom equipments. The key technology of this unlocking and resetting mechanism has been controlled by foreign companies for a long time. To earn this new U.S.patent helps WTD increase her core competition ability, expand her intellectual property base.

The new unlocking and resetting mechanism invented by WTD is the result of long and effective R&D work in WTD. It makes the operation of installation and dismantlement not depended on metal cage and board of equipments, fully meets operator’s using habit. The transceiver based on this new technology is better suitable for next generation high density equipments. The key breakthrough of transceiver technology provides WTD strong supports for both WTD and China's optical component industry.
