Optical module protection cover installed at edge of optical modem

An optical modem comprising an optical module protection cover, in which an optical module for converting an optical signal transmitted through an optical cable into an electrical signal or converting an electrical signal into an optical signal is disposed on an edge of a PCB within the optical modem to secure a clearance so that the optical module is removably installed, the optical modem comprising:

• a case of the optical modem having at least one port;
• a connector of the optical module, which receives a downstream optical signal, transmits an upstream optical signal, and is partially exposed to the outside of the optical modem case through the port;
• a connector of the optical cable, which is coupled to the optical module connector;
• and
• a protection cover detachably disposed on the optical modem case to protect each of the optical module connector and the optical cable connector, wherein the protection cover comprises:
• a bottom cover that corresponds to a bottom;
• a pair of side covers extending toward left and right upper sides from the bottom cover, respectively;
• a front cover extending toward a front upper side from the bottom cover, the front cover having a front groove;
• and
• a pair of top covers horizontally extending from the side covers and the front cover, the pair of top covers having top grooves that are spaced apart from each other,
• wherein the protection cover is configured to support an optical cable, wherein the optical cable sits in the front groove when the connector of the optical module and the connector of the optical cable are coupled together, and wherein the coupled connectors are contained within the protection cover.
