The present invention relates to an optical transceiver that suppresses
the EMI radiation through the optical receptacle and the discharge of the
static electricity attributed to the optical connector through the
optical receptacle. The optical transceiver of the invention includes an
optical subassembly comprising a resin made sleeve cover in addition to a
metal package and the metal sleeve assembly. Since the resin sleeve cover
secures the tip of the sleeve assembly, the EMI discharge and the noise
radiation through this sleeve cover can be suppressed. Moreover, the
sleeve cover and the bush both included in the sleeve assembly form a
united flange. Accordingly, the frame and the holder for positioning the
optical subassembly are unnecessary to provide a specific structure.
