Method and apparatus for multiboard fiber optic modules and fiber optic module arrays

摘要

Multiple board fiber optic modules and methods related thereto. Fiber optic modules include one or more vertical printed circuit boards and/or one or more horizontal printed circuit boards and/or one or more slanted printed circuit boards. The one or more printed circuit boards are parallel to optical axis of one or more optoelectronic devices such as a receiver or transmitter. The one or more printed circuit boards may include a ground plane to minimize electrical cross talk. A shielded housing or cover provides shielding for electromagnetic interference. The base or shielded housing or cover may include a septum to separate the fiber optic modules into a first side and a second side and provide additional shielding to minimize crosstalk. Horizontal, vertical, and NxN arrays of fiber optic channels in fiber optic modules. Fiber optic modules including a mini back plane for edge connecting printed circuit boards.
