Wave-absorbing heat sinks are provided at the position where the upper cover 4 is close to the optical port end A, at the position where the upper cover 4 is close to the electrical port end B, and at the position where the base 5 is close to the electrical port end B. In this embodiment, by providing wave-absorbing heat sinks at the position where the upper cover 4 is close to the optical port end A, at the position where the upper cover 4 is close to the electrical port end B, and at the position where the base 5 is close to the electrical port end B, the optical port noise and electrical port noise of the RE in the EMC performance of the optical module can be effectively improved. Specifically, the optical port end A is the side of the optical module where the adapter is provided. The adapter is such as TOSA (optical emission) and ROSA (optical reception) devices. The electrical port end B is the side of the PCBA board of the optical module close to the output of the gold finger. By providing wave-absorbing heat sinks at the positions where the upper cover 4 is close to the optical port end A and the electrical port end B, the noise on the side of the optical port end A and the electrical port end B close to the upper cover 4 can be improved. By providing a wave-absorbing heat sink at the position where the base 5 is close to the electrical port end B, the radiation emitted by the main chip can be reduced. The wave-absorbing heat sink uses wave-absorbing heat dissipation material. The wave-absorbing material refers to a class of functional materials that can absorb and attenuate the electromagnetic wave energy incident in space and reduce or eliminate the reflected electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves induce currents in the material, and the currents are blocked during transmission inside the material and converted into internal energy. Generally, iron and barium are filled inside. On this basis, the wave-absorbing heat dissipation material has a heat dissipation function. The metal inside it can play a heat dissipation effect, can perform electromagnetic shielding and clutter absorption, has a high thermal conductivity, is soft, has its own viscosity, has conformability and can be cut.
