Abstract
Provided is an optical module including: an optical assembly incorporating a light emitting or receiving device for converting one of an electrical signal and an optical signal into another of the electrical signal and the optical signal; a circuit board electrically connected to the optical assembly; an optical fiber optically connected to the optical assembly; a tray for winding the optical fiber therein and pulling out the optical fiber therefrom; and a case receiving the optical assembly, the circuit board, the optical fiber, and the tray. In the optical module, the tray is fixed with respect to the case so as to be reciprocatingly movable only within a restricted range, and the tray is moved from a position to another position within the restricted range so as to be moved away from an electrical connection section between the optical assembly and the circuit board.
