ABSTRACT:
A transceiver assembly for use in fiber optic communications systems where multiple optical fibers are used in transmitting and receiving optical signals. The assembly is adapted for being mechanically and optically connected with a ferrule supporting a set of optical communications fibers. The transceiver assembly supports an optoelectronic device having a corresponding set of photoactive components which are operative for either converting photonic signals to electrical signals (in a receiver) or converting electrical signals to photonic signals (in a transmitter). The transceiver assembly includes a frame section having a carrier which is precisely fabricated for supporting the optoelectronic device and includes an alignment structure for cooperating with the optical ferrule to align the photoactive components with the fibers in the ferrule. The frame section is part of a larger carrier assembly including a multilayer circuit board which may include a microcontroller chip, an edge connector for electrically connecting with a computer or communications system and a flex circuit which provides communications lines linking the frame section, circuit board and edge connector.
