Abstract:
1. An optical module comprising: a first circuit board in which a first edge connector is formed and a connector socket is mounted substantially in parallel to the first edge connector; and an optical transceiver module that is electrically connected to the first circuit board via the connector socket, wherein the optical transceiver module includes: the second circuit board has a second edge connector corresponding to the connector socket mounted on the first circuit board, the electrical-to-optical converter, the drive circuit, the optical-to-electrical converter, and the current-to-voltage conversion circuit are disposed in the center area of the second circuit board, signal lines of the drive circuit are pulled out from the drive circuit in a first direction, and are formed to reach corresponding terminals of the second edge connector, and signal lines of the current-to-voltage conversion circuit are pulled out from the current-to-voltage conversion circuit in a second direction that is substantially opposite to the first direction, and are formed so as to reach corresponding terminals of the second edge connector.
