ELECTRO-OPTICAL CONNECTORS

摘要

An example electro-optical connector may comprise an optical ferrule to optically engage with a complementary optical ferrule on a complementary electro-optical connector, a first conductive guide post disposed adjacent to the optical ferrule to electrically engage with a first guide pocket of the complementary electro-optical connector, and a second conductive guide post disposed on an opposite side of the optical ferrule from the first conductive guide post and to electrically engage with a second guide pocket of the complementary electro-optical connector. The first and second conductive guide posts may align the optical ferrule for engagement with the complementary optical ferrule when the guide posts are engaged with the respective guide pockets, and the first and second conductive guide posts may conduct an electrical signal or electrical power from the electro-optical connector to the complementary electro-optical connector.
