Optical fiber module

Abstract

An optical fiber module is attached to and detached from a host device having an optical engine and an internal optical connector optically connected to the optical engine. The optical fiber module includes a housing having a first surface exposed in a state of being attached to the host device and a second surface facing the first surface; at least one first optical connector provided on the first surface; and a second optical connector provided on the second surface and capable of being optically connected to the internal optical connector. Furthermore, the optical fiber module includes: a first optical fiber optically connecting the first optical connector and the second optical connector to each other; and a light source module supplying light to the optical engine via the second optical connector.
