Abstract: An optical transceiver that provides an inner metal cover in addition to a metal cover and a frame is disclosed. The inner cover includes a ceiling, a front skirt bent downward at a front edge of the ceiling, sides bent downward at both side edges of the ceiling, and a pair of arms extending rearward from respective side ends of the ceiling. The ceiling makes an obtuse angle with respect to the front skirt when the arms are not assembled with the frame, and shapes in convex protruding outward when the metal cover is not assembled with frame and. Assembling the inner cover and the metal cover with the frame, the inner cover comes in securely contact with the metal cover.

Abstract: An optical transceiver is disclosed, in which the transceiver installs a BOSA and has an additional heat conducting path from the BOSA to the cover and to the base independent of the path from the IC to the cover. The optical transceiver includes a heat conductor that comes in thermally contact with the BOSA, the cover and the base. The heat conductor, which is made of metal sheet, has a ceiling piece that comes in contact with the cover and a pair of legs with the bottom surface that comes in contact with the base in both sides of the BOSA.

Abstract: An optical transceiver with an optical receptacle separated from the frame is disclosed. The optical transceiver comprises an optical sub-assembly, an optical receptacle and a frame. The optical receptacle, which is set between the side walls of the frame, and assembled therewith by fastening a screw between the optical receptacle and the side wall of the frame. Inserting the screw into the screw hole, the optical receptacle is forced to move rearward which securely fixes the optical subassembly assembled with the optical receptacle between the optical receptacle and the saddle provided in the frame.
