I claim: 1. An electro-optical apparatus for insertion into a receptacle device having at least one receptacle connecting element, the electro-optical apparatus comprising: an apparatus body; at least one connecting element supported by said apparatus body, and when said apparatus body has been inserted in the receptacle device, said connecting element being in contact with the receptacle connecting element; and at least one pivot lever pivotably attached to said apparatus body such that, by pivoting said pivot lever against the receptacle device, said apparatus body can be pushed out of the receptacle device, the at least one pivot lever being configured to support a force applied to fully remove the electro-optical apparatus from the receptacle. 2. The electro-optical apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said apparatus body can be pushed out of the receptacle device at least to an extent that said connecting element is separated from the receptacle connecting element of the receptacle device. 3. The electro-optical apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said pivot lever has a supporting arm with a supporting projection which, when said pivot lever pivots, is braced against the receptacle device. 4. The electro-optical apparatus according to claim 3, wherein said pivot lever has an activation arm accessible from an outside and with which said pivot lever can be pivoted against the receptacle device. 5. The electro-optical apparatus according to claim 4, wherein said activation arm is longer than said supporting arm. 6. The electro-optical apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising an activation element, and said pivot lever is one of at least two pivot levers disposed spaced apart from one another and are connected to one another by said activation element. 7. The electro-optical apparatus according to claim 6, wherein said activation element, together with said two pivot levers, forms an activation bar. 8. The electro-optical apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising at least one electro-optical component disposed on said apparatus body. 9. The electro-optical apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the apparatus is an electro-optical transceiver device. 10. The electro-optical apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said connecting element includes at least one electrical connecting element and at least one optical connecting element. 11. The electro-optical apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the receptacle device has at least one optical connecting element for connecting to an optical waveguide. 12. The electro-optical apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said pivot lever is configured in such a way that said pivot lever can be used to release said apparatus body from the receptacle device. 13. The electro-optical apparatus according to claim 12, wherein said pivot lever has a release element. 14. The electro-optical apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said apparatus body has a front panel and at least one optical connecting element disposed on said front panel. 15. The electro-optical apparatus according to claim 1, wherein: the receptacle element has a front panel; and said pivot lever has a supporting arm with a supporting projection which, when said pivot lever pivots, is braced against the front panel of the receptacle device. 16. The electro-optical apparatus according to claim 1, wherein: the receptacle element has a guide frame; and said pivot lever has a supporting arm with a supporting projection which, when said pivot lever pivots, is braced against the guide frame of the receptacle device. 17. The electro-optical apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising at least one electro-optical component selected from the group consisting of optical transmitter devices and optical receiver devices, said electro-optical component supported by said apparatus body. 18. An electro-optical transceiver, comprising: a transceiver body configured to be removably received by a receptacle device; and at least one pivot lever attached at least indirectly to the transceiver body, a portion of the at least one pivot lever being arranged for operable contact with the receptacle device, and the at least one pivot lever being movable between first and second positions, such that: movement of the at least one pivot lever to the first position corresponds with achievement of a first state where the transceiver body is unlocked from the receptacle device; and movement of the at least one pivot lever to the second position corresponds with achievement of a second state where the transceiver body is partially pushed out of the receptacle device. 19. The electro-optical transceiver as recited in claim 18, wherein the at least one pivot lever comprises a pair of pivot levers, the pivot levers being joined together by a bar such that the pivot levers are configured to move in unison. 20. The electro-optical apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the electro-optical device is a transceiver. 21. An electro-optical apparatus for insertion into a receptacle device having at least one receptacle connecting element, the electro-optical apparatus comprising: an apparatus body; at least one connecting element supported by said apparatus body, and when said apparatus body has been inserted in the receptacle device, said connecting element being in contact with the receptacle connecting element; and a pivot lever assembly including at least two pivot levers pivotably attached to the apparatus body and an activation arm connected to the at least two pivot levers, the pivot lever assembly being configured to push the electro-optical apparatus out of the receptacle.
