Abstract
An optical wiring cable that transmits a light signal includes a first connector including a light transmission portion, a second connector including a light reception portion, and an optical wire provided between the first and second connectors to optically couple the light transmission portion and light reception portion. Further, a heat release wire is provided along the optical wire and thermally coupled with the light transmission portion and light reception portion to release heat generated from the light transmission portion and light reception portion.
Claims20
An optical wiring cable comprising:
- a first connector including a light transmission portion,
- a second connector including a light reception portion,
- an optical wire provided between the first and second connectors to optically couple the light transmission portion and light reception portion, and
- a heat release wire provided along the optical wire and thermally coupled with one of the light transmission portion and light reception portion to release heat generated from one of the light transmission portion and light reception portion.
An optical wiring cable comprising:
- a light transmission portion having one main surface of a mounting board on which a light-emitting element and a drive IC that drives the light-emitting element are mounted,
- a first connector including the light transmission portion,
- a light reception portion having one main surface of a mounting board on which a light-receiving element and a drive IC that drives the light-receiving element are mounted,
- a second connector including the light reception portion,
- an optical wire provided between the first and second connectors to optically couple the light transmission portion and light reception portion, and
- a heat release wire that has one end connected to a surface opposite to the surface of the mounting board of the light transmission portion on which the drive IC is mounted, has the other end connected to a surface opposite to the surface of the mounting board of the light reception portion on which the drive IC is mounted and is thermally coupled with the respective drive ICs of the light transmission portion and light reception portion to release heat generated from the respective drive ICs.
An optical wiring cable comprising:
- a first connector including a light transmission portion,
- a second connector including a light reception portion,
- an optical wire provided between the first and second connectors to optically couple the light transmission portion and light reception portion,
- a power source line arranged to extend from the first connector to the second connector and used as an electric power supply line of the light transmission portion and light reception portion, and
- a ground line arranged to extend from the first connector to the second connector and used as an electric power supply line of the light transmission portion and light reception portion,
- wherein one of the power source line and ground line is thermally coupled with one of the light transmission portion and light reception portion to release heat generated from one of the light transmission portion and light reception portion.
