    Abstract: A casing for a communication device includes a first casing and a second casing and receives a circuit board. A power element and an optical fiber element are mounted on the circuit board. A baffle is disposed in the first casing and corresponds in position to the optical fiber element for forming an insulating space in the vicinity thereof and thereby insulating the optical fiber element from the power element. With the casing, the optical fiber element that differs from the power element in an operating temperature range or heat dissipation requirement is insulated from the power element, such that the optical fiber element and the power element are provided with appropriate operating temperatures, respectively, and thus can operate well. The casing prevents cooling fins and thermal grease from deteriorating in performance after long use. The baffle and the first casing are integrally formed as a unitary structure.
