1. An optical transceiver, comprising:
an input assembly, arranged on a circuit board, and comprising a first input port and a second input port;
an output port;
a fiber patch panel, arranged between the input assembly and the output port, and comprising two groups of first fiber patch slots and a plurality of second fiber patch slots, each of the groups comprising a plurality of first fiber patch slots;
a plurality of first optical fibers, connected respectively to the first input port and the output port; and
a plurality of second optical fibers, connected respectively to the second input port and the output port,
wherein two of the first fiber patch slots are cooperated with one of the second fiber patch slot so that one of the first optical fibers and one of the second optical fibers respectively passing the two first fiber patch slots are arranged together in the one second fiber patch slot;
wherein the two groups of first fiber patch slots are respectively disposed at two opposite sides of the circuit board first fiber patch slots and aligned to the first input port and the second input port respectively;
wherein the first optical fibers are held in one of the groups and the second optical fibers are held in another of the groups of first fiber patch slots;
wherein each of the first fiber patch slots contains only two of the first optical fibers, each of the second fiber patch slots contains only one of the first optical fibers and one of the second optical fibers together.
