Network, particularly optical network for data transmission, has electrical and optical star coupler with multiple electrical and optical terminals and terminal of optical star coupler is coupled with terminal of electrical star coupler

摘要

The network has an electrical star coupler (200) with multiple electrical terminals (201 to 204). The optical star coupler (100) with multiple optical terminals (101 to 103). A terminal of the optical star coupler is coupled with a terminal of the electrical star coupler by an opto-electronic converter (300). An opto-electronic converter is arranged or integrated with the electrical star coupler. An independent claim is also included for a method for data transmission between an optical star coupler and an electrical star coupler.
