no. 1 Embodiment approach )

[0058] Next, an optical connector module according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. figure 1 (A) is an overall perspective view of the optical connector module 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, figure 1 (B) is a sectional view of the optical cable 20 .

[0059] Such as figure 1 As shown in (A), the optical connector module 10 according to this embodiment includes an optical cable 20 and connectors 30A and 30B attached to one end side and the other end side of the optical cable 20 , respectively.

[0060] This optical connector module 10 can be used for signal (data) transmission. For example, the optical connector module 10 is electrically connected to electronic devices such as a personal computer and a display as a connection target, converts input / output electrical signals into optical signals, and reciprocates high-speed optical signals between one end and the other end. In addi...

Abstract

As only either of light emitting side wirings and light receiving side wirings crossover each other, the same connectors 30 may be mounted at opposite ends of an optical fiber. Thus, it is possible to provide an optical connector module at low cost. Further, as the optical fiber is connected straight from one side to the other side, an assembly process is easy.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an optical connector module for connecting electronic devices with an optical cable. Background technique [0002] There is known a technique of optically connecting electronic devices to increase the signal transmission speed between the electronic devices. For this purpose, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is known to perform wiring between electronic devices using an optical connector module that converts electrical signals into optical signals. Such an optical connector module has: an optical cable including a plurality of optical fibers; and a pair of connectors that mutually convert optical signals and electrical signals. [0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-32545 [0004] In addition, in the connector of the above optical connector module, a plurality of light receiving / emitting elements are mounted on the same surface of the same substrate in a row. In suc...
