Embodiment Construction

[0019] FIG. 1 shows the structural concept of a known connection unit, which is installed, for example, in an existing motor vehicle for connecting electronic devices to two bus optical waveguides 8 and 9 belonging to the MOST bus. Here, the optical waveguides 8 and 9 are only shown schematically and partially.

[0020] The connection unit consists of a plug housing 1 , two device optical waveguides 2 and 3 and a conversion unit 4 . The conversion unit 4 includes: a receiver, which is connected with the device optical waveguide 2, and is used to convert the optical signal from the MOST bus into an electrical signal; and a transmitter, which is connected with the device optical waveguide 3, and converts the electrical signal into an electrical signal to be Optical signal sent to the MOST bus. When another optical data bus is used, only one device optical waveguide in duplex mode can be used instead of two single device optical waveguides in simplex mode.

[0021] Both the plu...
