In each terminal connected to an optical bus a narrow pulse synchronized with the rise of a pre-synchronizing pulse appended to the head of the one digital signal TXN of Manchester-biphase signals, a narrow pulse synchronized with the rise of each pulse of the other Manchester-biphase digital signal TXO and a narrow pulse occurring every fixed period of time during the duration of each pulse are produced, and these narrow pulses are converted into optical signals, which are provided as an optical pulse train to the optical bus. In each terminal optical pulses received from the optical bus are converted into an electric signal, which is separated into its leading pulse and the subsequent pulses, a synchronizing pulse is produced in synchronization with the leading pulse, the subsequent pulses are each converted into a pulse of a fixed width to regenerate the signal TXO, and the regenerated signal TXO is polarity inverted and then combined with the pre-synchronizing pulse to regenerate the signal TXN.

First and second optical couplers are inserted in linear bus type first and second data buses for transmission in opposite directions, respectively, by which each terminal equipment is connected to the first and second data buses. In the terminal equipment first and second monitor pulses are generated by a monitor pulse generator at different points of time in a low-level period of a frame synchronizing signal of each frame forming data to be transmitted, by which first data to be transmitted, appended with the first monitor pulse, and second data to be transmitted, appended with the second monitor pulse, are formed and are provided to the first and second optical couplers, respectively. The optical data signals branched from the first and second optical couplers are received by a common photodetector. A monitor pulse detector outputs an error flag when it detects either one of the first and second monitor pulses in the received sigal.
