An electro-optical connection module ( ) comprises a first end ( ) designed to receive optical fibers ( ), and comprises means ( ) to convert a signal conveyed by these optical fibers into an electrical signal. These means are preferably placed on a rigid portion ( ) of a printed circuit ( ) contained in this module. Furthermore, this printed circuit portion is connected by means of a flexible printed circuit portion ( ) to a printed circuit end ( ). This printed circuit end has contacts ( ) in the form of an electrical plug at one end ( ) of this module. This second end is opposite to the first end of the module. Thus, the optical module is used for an electrical connection and comprises every means to convert the optical signal received into an electrical signal.
