  • Publication number: 20240385391
    Abstract: An optical module includes a housing and a release mechanism. The housing includes an outer lateral surface. The release mechanism includes an arm and a releasing component. The arm is disposed on the outer lateral surface and movable relative to the housing. The releasing component is disposed on the outer lateral surface and includes a pivot, a releasing portion and a pressed portion. The pivot is between the releasing portion and the pressed portion. The pivot is disposed on the housing. The arm pushes the pressed portion to pivot the releasing component. At an idle state of the release mechanism, a movement of the housing is restricted by an interference between a flexible counterpart of a cage and the housing. At a releasing state of the release mechanism, the releasing portion deforms the flexible counterpart, thereby removing the interference between the flexible counterpart and the housing.
