Abstract: The present invention relates to a bushing for contacting a braid of a line within a connector, the bushing is essentially tapering in an insertion direction in which the bushing is adapted to be inserted into the braid in order to be encompassed thereby. Further, the invention relates to a connector comprising a bushing. In order to provide a bushing which allows for being inserted into the braid in a gentle manner and at the same time allows the braid to be evenly contacted with the bushing for establishing a reliable mechanical and/or electrical connection therewith, the present invention provides that the bushing has a radial elasticity allowing a spring tensioned widening and/or compression of the bushing.

Abstract: An optical interface comprising a first portion having at least one optical conduit interface with a first axis for optically coupling with at least one optical conduit, a second portion having at least one transmitter interface with a second axis for optically coupling with a transmitting optical device, and at least one receiver interface with a third axis for optical coupling with a receiving optical device, the first, second and third axes being essentially parallel; and a wavelength filter element (WFE) disposed between the first and second portions, the WFE defining a first optical path between the transmitter interface and the optical conduit interface, and a second optical path between the optical conduit interface and the receiver interface.

Abstract: The invention relates to an enclosure assembly for at least of a variety of in particular standardized connectors on a cable, such as RJ45, HDMI and others. The enclosure assembly has a connector volume located within an inner body of the enclosure assembly. The connector volume is adapted to moveably accommodate the connector. The inner body is open to an outer environment and a forward and a rearward end. The enclosure assembly further includes an outer body adapted to slide over the inner body in a forward direction. The outer body is provided with at least one locking element for securing the enclosure assembly to a mating enclosure. As a further improvement to the known connector assemblies, the connector volume is located within an electromagnetic shielding structure and the electromagnetic shielding structure is located within the inner body.

Abstract: A transceiver comprising at least one chip comprising at least a first array of long-wavelength VCSELs and at least a second array of receiving optical devices, an optical interface optically coupled to the VCSELs and the receiving optical devices and configured to optically couple with an optical connector, transmitting and receiving circuitry electrically connected the VCSELs and the receiving optical devices, and adapted for connecting to an electrical connector, and a frame for holding the chip, the optical interface, and the transmitting and receiving circuitry.

Abstract: A process of manufacturing an optical flexible circuit comprising: (a) disposing an adhesive layer on at least a portion of a carrier film, said adhesive layer having a downward adhesive face and an upward adhesive face, said downward adhesive face and said carrier film being configured such that said carrier film is removable from said downward adhesive face without disruption of said downward adhesive face; (b) routing one or more fibers on said upward adhesive layer; (c) coating said fibers to define an optical circuit; and (d) optionally parting said carrier film to separate said optical circuit from other optical circuits on said carrier film.
