Is the optical module casing made of metal

The casing is usually made of materials such as metal or high-grade plastic. In addition to protection, the casing also plays a crucial role in electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. An optical module housing is the protective outer shell that encloses the internal components of an optical transceiver module. The optical module packaging structure comprises: a top cover (100), a bottom plate (300), and a middle housing (200) integrally formed from a metal material. The following will focus on optical components and. This article explains contemporary thermal strategies for OSFP modules — from fin geometry tuning to detachable heatsink covers — and maps measured performance to practical deployment steps. Airflow / wind-pressure safe zone for OSFP heat sinks — shows upper & lower impedance curves. [pdf]
