  • Patent number: 9703053
    Abstract: An optical transceiver is configured to use, as an electric signal, a digital modulation signal having a predetermined bit rate. The optical transceiver includes a case having a space for storing a component therein and a resistor being arranged between upper and lower surfaces of the space and having conductance of from 1 S/m to 1,000 S/m. The space has a height equal to or less than a wavelength in a free space of an electromagnetic wave of a frequency corresponding to the predetermined bit rate. At least a part of the height of the space is larger than a half of the wavelength. The height of the space is smaller than a width of the space. The width of the space is smaller than a depth of the space.

  • Patent number: 8714840
    Abstract: An optical module includes an electromagnetic wave absorption member. The electric connection member includes a floating portion which is in a floating state spaced apart from the housing and at a position away from a mounting portion by which the electric connection member is mounted on the housing in the direction opposite to the direction that the optical module is inserted into a cage. At least a portion of the electromagnetic wave absorption member is arranged between the housing and the floating portion. The floating portion is brought into contact with an inner side of the cage so as to establish the electrical connection with the inner side of the cage when the housing is inserted into the cage.

  • Patent number: 8313251
    Abstract: An optical transceiver has a projection covering member that can suppress EMI noise radiated from a pig-tail part. An elastic covering member covers a projection which includes an optical coupler of an optical sub assembly. The covering member is made of a conductive elastic material having a predetermined resistivity. At least a part of an outer circumference surface of the elastic covering member comes into intimate contact with an outer periphery of a conductive opening part of a case for the optical transceiver while an inner circumference surface of the elastic covering member comes into intimate contact with the projection.
