Electro-optical composite connector, electro-optical composite cable, and network devices using the same

摘要

The electro-optical composite connector comprises an electro-optical composite plug (110) and an electro-optical receptacle (120). The electro-optical composite plug or electro-optical composite receptacle converts an optical signal from an optical fiber (132; 142) to an electric signal and transmits to the opposing electro-optical receptacle (120) or electro-optical composite plug (110) through a power connecting metal (112) or power connecting metal receiver (122). The opposing electro-optical composite receptacle (120) or electro-optical composite plug (110) converts the electric signal to the optical signal and transmits to the optical fiber (132; 142).
