Concentric optical cable with full duplex connectors

A connector for use with a concentric optical cable having a core optical conductor and a concentric optical conductor, said core optical conductor for conducting a light beam encoded with a first set of optically encoded information and said concentric optical conductor for conducting a light beam encoded with a second set of optically encoded information, comprising:

• an inner connector portion for connection of said core optical conductor;
• and
• an outer connector portion for connection of said concentric optical conductor;
• wherein said outer connector portion is substantially concentrically disposed about said inner connector portion.

• an outer connector portion for connection of said concentric optical conductor, said outer connector portion including an inner reflective concentric diffuser for dispersing said light beam encoded with said second set of optically encoded information in a concentric ring and an outer reflective concentric diffuser substantially concentrically disposed about said inner reflective concentric diffuser, said outer reflective concentric diffuser for receiving said light beam dispersed in said concentric ring and reflecting said light beam into said concentric optical conductor;
• and
• an inner connector portion for connection of said core optical conductor;
• wherein said outer connector portion is substantially concentrically disposed about said inner connector portion.
