OPTICAL INTERCONNECTION MEMBER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical interconnection member for interconnecting an optical fiber with a data processing unit. SOLUTION: The optical connecting member (50) has an optical, electrical conversion device (14), an optical transformation array (60) and an adapter (18). The conversion device is mounted in operable alignment with the data processing unit (12) and the adapter (18) is adapted to receive a connector (20). The optical transformation array (60) defines an optical transformation medium (66) between non-parallel input and output surfaces whereby the connector (20) and the data processing unit (12) can be interconnected in a non- perpendicular manner.
