Pluggable optical transceiver having inner optical connection and optical connector installed therein

An optical transceiver, comprising:

• an optical subassembly;
• an inner fiber with a ferrule, an elastic member, and a flange in one end thereof;
• a tray for guiding said inner fiber;
• and
• an inner connector configured to receive said one end of said inner fiber, to be assembled with a stopper so as to hold said elastic member within said inner connector, to be movably supported by said tray, and to be engaged with said optical subassembly through a latch unit,
• wherein said inner connector is movable between a retreated position and a coupled position.

A connector assembly, comprising:

• a latch unit for supporting an optical subassembly, said latch unit including a pair of latch fingers;
• an inner fiber having a ferrule, a flange, and a coil spring in an end portion thereof, said coil spring having an end abutting against said flange;
• a connector housing having a first space, a second space, and a center partition for partitioning said first and second spaces, said first space receiving said end portion of said inner fiber as another end of said coil spring abuts against said center partition, said second space securing said inner fiber continuous to said end portion,
• wherein said first space of said connector housing is engaged with said latch fingers of said latch unit to couple said inner fiber optically with said optical subassembly optically.
