Claim Text:
1. An optical transceiver, comprising: an optical receptacle to receive an external optical connector that secures an external fiber; a transmitter optical module and a receiver optical module each installing respective a optical devices for converting between an optical signal and an electrical signal; an inner fiber configured to couple at least one of the optical devices optically with the external fiber; and a printed circuit board (PCB) that mounts an electronic circuit electrically coupled with the transmitter optical module and the receiver optical module, the PCB forming a space between the PCB and at least one of the transmitter optical module and the receiver optical module, wherein at least one of the transmitter optical module and the receiver optical module provides a flexible printed circuit (FPC) board and a ceiling, the FPC board being connected to the PCB, the ceiling facing the PCB, wherein the FPC board is extended along the ceiling, wrapped around an edge of the PCB, and connected to a surface of the PCB opposite to a surface facing the ceiling of the at least one of the transmitter optical module and the receiver optical module, wherein the space is formed between the FPC board and the PCB, and wherein the inner fiber extends within the space.
