摘要 |
An electrically terminated optical cable (1) comprising: an optical cable (9) comprising an optical fibre, and an opto-electronic end portion (10) permanently connected to an end of said optical cable (9); said end portion (10) comprising, in turn an opto-electronic conversion device (12; 13) having an electric port and an optical port; a ferrule (5) firmly housing an end portion of said optical fibre so that said optical fibre has one end lying flush with an endface of said ferrule (5); an optical focusing lens (11) having an elongated shape and a first endface optically aligned with, and mechanically connected to, the optical port of said opto-electronic conversion device (12; 13), and a sleeve (6) tightly housing said ferrule (5) and said optical lens (11) with said endface of said ferrule (5) and a second endface of said optical lens (11) facing each other so as to optically align said optical lens (11) with said optical fibre housed into said ferrule (5). |
