Abstract
The present invention provides an optical to electrical converter, which comprises an optical transmission unit, an electrical transmission unit and a rotating mechanism. The optical transmission unit is connected to the electrical transmission unit via the rotating unit, and the optical transmission unit and the electrical transmission unit can be rotated relative to each other by the rotating mechanism. Further, the electrical transmission unit is able to connect to a system end, such as a computer, and perform electrical signal transmission with the system end (computer), thereby enabling the system end (computer) having an optical transmission function via the optical to electrical converter.
Claims10
An optical to electrical adapter comprising:
- an electrical transmission unit for transmitting and receiving an electrical signal;
- a first housing connected to said electrical transmission unit;
- an optical transmission unit for transmitting and receiving an optical signal, and electrically connecting to said electrical transmission unit;
- a second housing connected to said optical transmission unit, and partially overlapping said first housing to form an overlap region therebetween;
- and
- a rotating mechanism connecting said overlap region between said first housing and said second housing, such that said first housing and said electrical transmission unit are rotatable relatively to said second housing and said optical transmission unit by said rotating mechanism, wherein when that said first housing is rotatable relatively to said second housing by said rotating mechanism, the angle between extension lines of said electrical transmission unit of said first housing and said optical transmission unit of said second housing is adjusted, and said electrical transmission unit is still electrically connected to said optical transmission unit.
