Optoelectronic transmission path

摘要

Optoelectronic transmission path comprising an optical transmitter (25) or an optical receiver and an optical waveguide (4, 18), in particular in the form of an optical conductor (5 to 12, 18), both of which are inseparably combined with insulation compound to form a compact module (1, 14) in such a way that the optical waveguide (5 to 12, 18) emerges on one side of the module (1, 14). To enable a simple and fast optical and electrical connection of two devices via an optical waveguide, the module (1, 14) has electrical terminals (2, 27, 28) for the optical transmitter (25) or the optical receiver (5 to 12, 18) and an optical receiver or optical transmitter (25) is disposed in an identical arrangement at the other end of the optical conductor (5 to 12, 18). This arrangement can be used in any situation where communication signals are not to be transmitted or cannot be transmitted via electrical paths. <IMAGE>
