PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily and surely pull out an optical module from a cage when releasing an engaged state between the optical module and the case. SOLUTION: The optical module includes a case 7 in which an element to perform optical communication is provided inside; a locking member 16, which is engaged with the cage 3 for housing a case 7; a pivot 17 for rotatably supporting the locking member 16; and a coil spring 18 for energizing the locking member 16, in a rotating direction in which the locking member 16 is engaged with the cage 3. The locking member 16 is constituted of a locking part 26a, and which is engaged with a lock hole 27a and a lock part 16a provided in the cage 3 and a contact part 16b with which a lock release member 20 comes into contact serving to release the engaged state between the locking part and the lock hole 27a. Accordingly, when this engaged state is released by the lock release member 20, the lock release member 20 is then engaged with the case 7. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
