Reinforced removable pluggable module pull tabs

Abstract:

Presented herein are removable pull tabs that are configured to be detachably coupled to pluggable modules in a manner that facilitates removal of the pull tabs from the module without disassembling the modules. In particular, a removable pull tab may comprise a handle, first and second substantially parallel attachment arms extending from the handle, and a reinforcement line embedded in the handle and first and second attachment arms. The first and second attachment arms comprise first and second attachment mechanisms, respectively, disposed at a distal end of the respective attachment arm. The first and second attachment mechanisms are configured to detachably couple to first and second apertures, respectively, of a pluggable module.
