CONNECTOR SYSTEM HAVING ELECTRICAL AND OPTICAL LINKS WITH OPTICAL LINK CLEANER

摘要

In a connector system, a first connector is mechanically and optically mateable with a second connector to form one or more optical signal communication links. A wiping cleaner is included on at least one of the first and second connectors for cleaning an optical port of the other of the first and second connectors when the connectors are plugged together. The first and second connectors can further be electrically mateable to provide both optical and electrical signal communication links.
