ABSTRACT:
An optical module comprises a case having a connection port for connection with an external optical fiber cable connector, and a locking member for locking the case in a cage for accommodating the case. The locking member is configured to lock the case in the cage when a connector is connected to the connection port after the case has been inserted into the cage up to a predetermined position, and to unlock the case from the cage when the connector is disconnected from the connection port. According to this optical module, the case can be locked in the cage through a simple operation of inserting the connector into the connection port after the case has been inserted into the cage.
