I got tired of trying to squeeze my fingers into tight racks with cable management trays to pull out SFPs, so I designed this puller to be able to reach in and grab the latch and pull the optic out.  I also designed a thin flat on the opposite end that can be used to push down the locking clip on ethernet cables.  

I've printed it out of both PLA and PETG and both seemed plenty strong, but PETG has held up a bit better.   I recommend printing it on its side, with supports between the fingers.

 

update - I increased the thickness of the prying end after some more thorough use revealed the original was too flexible.
