Optical module

Abstract

The invention discloses an optical module which is used for solving the technical problem of low detection efficiency of an abnormal optical module in the prior art. The optical module comprises a housing, a circuit board and a light guiding structure; one part of structure of the light guiding structure is arranged in the housing, and the other part of structure of the light guiding structure extends out of the housing; and a light source is arranged on the circuit board, and the light guiding structure is used for conducting light emitted by the light source to the outside of the housing. The light guiding structure in the optical module can conduct the light emitted from the inside of the optical module to the outside of the optical module; the optical module disclosed by the invention can achieve an effect of conducting and showing conditions inside the optical module outside the optical module by using the optical signal as a propagation medium, so that the conditions inside the optical module can be directly known from the outside of the housing of the optical module and various application scenes of the optical module are further expanded.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to an optical module. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of Internet business, large-scale data centers and cloud devices have been newly built all over the world. Each device needs to apply a few or as many as dozens of optical modules. In the early stage of equipment and system It will consume huge manpower and material resources when building and debugging. Whether the installed equipment and optical modules are working normally cannot be seen from the actual optical modules. It is necessary to use professional monitoring equipment and monitoring programs to read the working status information of each optical module, and this monitoring equipment generally Set it in the optical module monitoring area far from the optical module working area. [0003] When performing abnormal detection of optical modules, it is usually ne...
