An optical fibre connector with electromagnetic shielding

摘要

The present invention relates to optical connectors for use in modules and the like where electromagnetic interference is an issue. <??>The present invention provides a connector housing (30) comprising several side walls (40,42) and a front plate (31). The housing provides containment of electromagnetic emission from within a module such that electromagnetic interference does not emanate from the fibre-optic interface of a connection housing of module or the like. The front plate of the housing also comprises several apertures communicating with fibre terminals (32) for receiving optical fibres (45). The terminal housings are tilted towards the normal on the front plate. <IMAGE>
