ABSTRACT:
A wall mount fiber optic connector includes a connector body portion to be mounted on a wall of an electronic system, and the connector body portion has ferrule-receiving passageways therein. Opto-electronic (O/E) converters are coupled to the ferrule-receiving passageways, with each O/E converter being associated with a respective ferrule-receiving passageway. Biasing members are coupled to the O/E converters, with each biasing member urging a respective O/E converter forward. The wall mount fiber optic connector also includes flexible circuits, with each flexible circuit having a first end coupled to a respective O/E converter. A printed circuit board is coupled to second ends of the flexible circuits. An electrical connector portion is carried by the connector body portion and is coupled to the printed circuit board.
