ABSTRACT:
An optical transceiver for converting and coupling an information-containing electrical signal with an optical fiber includes a housing and coupled rigid and flex printed circuit boards. The housing includes a fiber optic connector adapted for coupling with an external optical fiber for transmitting and/or receiving an optical communications signal. The rigid printed circuit board is within the housing and includes an electrical connector for coupling with an external electrical cable or information system device, and for transmitting and/or receiving an information-containing electrical communications signal. A first interface connector is for receiving or transferring the electrical signal. A flexible printed circuit board is also within the housing and coupled to the rigid printed circuit board, including a second interface connector for mating with the first interface connector, and transmitting or receiving the electrical signal to or from the rigid printed circuit board. An electro-optical subassembly on the flex board is for converting between an electrical signal and a modulated optical signal. The flex board is adapted for coupling to the fiber optic connector.
