Abstract:
An optical connector module comprising:an optical module including a light emitting device which emits light and a light receiving device which receives light to convert an optical signal into an electrical signal; a connector including a first optical fiber for light transmission and a first optical fiber for light reception; a housing for coupling the optical module to the connector; and a light transmission device which is installed in the housing and includes a second optical fiber for light transmission, one end which is disposed on the side of the light emitting device so as to transmit light from the light emitting device to the first optical fiber for light transmission of the connector and the other end which is disposed on a side of the first optical fiber for light transmission of the connector, and a second optical fiber for light reception, one end which is disposed on a side of the light receiving device so as to transmit light from the first optical fiber for light reception of the connector to the light receiving device and another end which is disposed on the side of the first optical fiber for light reception of the connector, wherein a distance between one end of the second optical fiber for light transmission which is disposed in the housing and one end of the second optical fiber for light reception which is disposed in the housing is greater than the distance between the other end of the second optical fiber for light transmission which is disposed in the housing and the other end of the second optical fiber for light reception which is disposed in the housing.
