Claims20
An on-board communication system comprising:
- an optical coupler that includes multiple optical transmission lines;
- and
- multiple on-board devices that are capable of communicating with each other with the optical coupler interposed therebetween.
An optical coupler that is used for an on-board communication system that includes a first on-board device, a second on-board device, and a third on-board device, the optical coupler comprising:
- a first optical transmission line that connects the first on-board device and the second on-board device to each other;
- and
- a second optical transmission line that connects the first on-board device and the third on-board device to each other.
An on-board device for an on-board communication system that includes an optical coupler that includes multiple optical transmission lines, the on-board device comprising:
- a communication unit that communicates with another on-board device with the optical coupler interposed therebetween;
- and
- a connection unit that is connectable to an optical fiber that is connected to the multiple optical transmission lines.
