  • Patent number: 4863233
    Abstract: An EMR containment system coupling an EMR contained computer chassis and a wide band video monitor includes three plastic fiber optic cables terminated in a plug at each end. The computer chassis includes a socket having an electrically conductive surface in which three cylindrical fiber optic wave guides are positioned, each having at least a 3/1 ratio of length to diameter. Optical diodes are positioned at the end of each wave guide for coupling wide band R, G and B video and sync signals to and from the fiber cables when the plugs are seated within the sockets. A microswitch communicates with the rear of one of the sockets and is physically operable by a removable actuator carried by the mating plug for selecting between monochrome and color monitors.
