It is expected to provide an optical communication module that can avoid the reduction in the performance of light communication when an edge emitting type photoelectric device is mounted. The light output window may be one of the side walls in a side-emitting configuration. The carrier cradle assembly also includes a break away feature for limiting damage to the customer terminal from greater impact forces. The calibrator portion includes a data inputoutput rate profiler. The data processing entity is booted from the boot blocks of the current software image in the corresponding boot locations, thereby loading the access function.
