Abstract
An optical communication device, including a module board which includes at least the optical module inputting or outputting an optical signal, and the peripheral circuit connecting electrically with the optical module; a connector board which includes an electric connector inputting or outputting an electric signal: and a flexible board which adjusts a relative position of the module board and the connector board, and transmits the electric signal among these boards.
Claims15
An optical communication device, comprising:
- a module board which includes at least an optical module for inputting and/or outputting an optical signal, and a peripheral circuit connected electrically with the optical module;
- a connector board which includes an electric connector for inputting and/or outputting an electric signal:
- and
- a flexible board which adjusts a relative position of the module board and the connector board, and transmits the electric signal among these boards.
An optical communication device, comprising:
- a first means for including at least the optical module which inputs or outputs an optical signal, and the peripheral circuit connecting electrically with the optical module:
- a second means for including an electric connector which inputs and/or outputs an electric signal;
- and
- a third means for adjusting a relative position of the module board and the connector board, and transmitting the electric signal among these boards.
An optical transceiver, comprising:
- the optical communication device, further comprising:
- a module board which includes at least the optical module for inputting and/or outputting an optical signal, and the peripheral circuit connecting electrically with the optical module;
- a connector board which includes an electric connector inputting and/or outputting an electric signal;
- and
- a flexible board which adjusts a relative position of the module board and the connector board, and transmits the electric signal among these boards;
- and
- a case, further comprising:
- a mount part which receives the optical communication device;
- a cable connecting part that optically connects a communication cable with the optical module;
- and
- a main body connecting part that electrically connects an electrical connector with a main communication device:
- wherein:
- the optical module transforms the optical signal received via the communication cable into electric signal, and outputs to the main communication device via the electric connector;
- and
- the optical module transforms the electric signal received from the main communication device via the electric connector into the optical signal, and outputs to the communication cable.
A manufacturing method of an optical communication device, comprising:
- a device arrangement procedure for arranging at least the optical module on the flex-rigid circuit board which includes the module board, the connector board, and the flexible board;
- and
- a reflow procedure for soldering the optical module to the module board by heating a solder pattern on the module board.
