The switching network serves for the transmission of digital data signals within a broadband communication system. This switching network is thereby constructed of individual switching elements (KE) that form at least one multi-stage funnel due to a connection to one another. The section for the assemblies of the switching network is selected such that at least one complete funnel is accommodated on the respective assembly. The respective assembly thereby has its external data inputs provided with unidirectionally designed optical/electrical transducers (OML-E) and has its external data outputs provided with unidirectionally designed electrical/optical transducers (OML-S).

Switching network for a broadband communication system

The invention relates to an opto-electric module, comprising a printed circuit board (L) which as an electrical interface has a number of plug-in contacts (SK) running parallel in the area of a first face for directly plugging the module into an assembly. As an optical interface, said printed circuit board is also connected to an optical element (OE) in the area of a second face. The component side and the back of said printed circuit board are also covered at least partly by a housing part (GK, KK).
