An optical transceiver module includes a housing having an electrical mating end for mating with a mating electrical connector and an opposing optical mating end for mating with a mating optical connector. A circuit board assembly, a ferrule assembly, and a first support are disposed in the housing. The circuit board assembly includes an optical coupler disposed on a circuit board. The ferrule assembly includes an optical ferrule including a first attachment feature for receiving and permanently attaching to at least one optical fiber and a second attachment feature assembled to the optical coupler. A ferrule support is removably assembled to an interior of the housing and includes at least one support feature. The optical ferrule rests on the at least one support feature. The first support makes contact with the at least one optical fiber. The contact causes a bend in the at least one optical fiber.
