description A module for coupling to a fiber-optic cable includes an optoelectronic assembly that includes a bracket and a metal receptacle. The metal receptacle includes an attachment member operable to releasably connect the receptacle to the bracket, an alignment end operable to receive an alignment device, and a connector end operable to releasably connect to the fiber-optic cable and to orient the cable with the alignment device. The metal receptacle can suppress EMI and can typically withstand higher temperatures than most plastic materials. Thus, when subject to high temperatures, the receptacle typically will not expel gas that can fog a lens or deform. The attachment member allows one to releasably connect the receptacle to an optoelectronic assembly without fixing the receptacle to the assembly with adhesive. Thus, the receptacle can be mounted to an optoelectronic assembly quickly and without an alignment fixture.
