Abstract
In interfacing electronic and optical components, a housing fixedly supports a female electrical contact therein, remote from a housing entry aperture. A fiber optic assembly includes a fiber, a transducer terminating the fiber and a ferrule securing the fiber to the transducer. The transducer has a male electrical contact matable with the housing female contact and the fiber optic assembly is configured to pass freely through the housing entry aperture to mate the contacts, thereby providing any desired length of electromagnetic radiation-free path within the housing.
