The present invention provides an optical transceiver that has an optical
semiconductor device coupled to an optical fiber via an optical connector
attached to an end of the optical fiber. The optical transceiver
comprises at least one optical subassembly including the optical
semiconductor device, an optical receptacle, a substrate, a frame and a
cover. The optical semiconductor device optically couples to the optical
fiber by mating the optical connector with the optical receptacle. The
frame installs the optical subassembly, the optical receptacle, and the
frame. According to the present invention, the optical receptacle is
optionally positioned to the frame, so mechanical stress induced
therebetween may be relaxed.
