In an optoelectronic module ( ) comprising a plastics material package ( ) accommodating a base ( ) fixed to the package ( ) and supporting an optical component ( ) coupled by an optical fiber ( ) to an optical connector ( ) of the package ( ), fiber displacements associated with thermal stresses are avoided by mounting the base so that it floats on the package ( ) and possibly the connector ( ). The floating mounting of the base ( ) is obtained by using for fixing the base one or more adhesives ( ) having a greater elasticity than the adhesives used to fix each of the two ends ( ) of the fiber ( ) to the base ( ) and the connector ( ), respectively.
