ABSTRACT:
An electronic computer including microprocessor means, memory means and Input/Output (I/O) means wherein the I/O means comprises a retractable optical fiber connector assembly. The retractable optical fiber connector assembly includes a rotatable spool and a pair of optical fibers for being wound thereabout, these fibers in turn optically connected to optoelectronic means within the computer (as part of the I/O means). On the opposing ends of these optical fibers are desired connectors (e.g., those of the push-pull variety) for being connected to associated optical-type connectors which in turn may form part of various peripheral equipment (e.g., MODEMS, printers, etc.) or other computers to which this computer may be connected.
