Optoelectronic converting termination for optical-fibre transmission cable

摘要

The electro-optic converter is designed to terminate optical fiber cables consisting of a mechanical core surrounded by a helically grooved sheath in which an optical fibre is loosely placed in the grooves. It consists of an hybrid circuit conversion matrix made of a substrate with a central bore cooperating with a bore in a standard multi-pin casing base for positioning the cable core; a star shaped conductive film on said substrate serves as a common electrode for the plurality of discrete opto-electronic devices also connected each to a different pin of the base and in centering and locking means for the cable.
