Abstract
An optical module with an improved coupling portion to couple an optical device with an external fiber is disclosed. The coupling portion includes a stub to secure a coupling fiber in a center thereof, a bush to support the stub, a sleeve to receive the stub in a portion thereof and an external ferrule in another portion, and a sleeve cover to cover the sleeve. The coupling portion further includes a latch put between the bush and the cover by being hooked with both the bush and the cover. The latch electrically isolates the bush from the cover even when the bush and the sleeve cover are made of metal.
