Abstract
A radially symmetrical optoelectric module includes a receptacle assembly with a symmetrical tubular ferrule and a first lens. The ferrule defines an axial opening extending along an optical axis. The ferrule is formed radially symmetrical about the optical axis with the first lens engaged in the ferrule along the optical axis. One end of the ferrule is formed to receive an end of an optical fiber such that the end is positioned along the optical axis and adjacent the first lens. An optoelectric package includes an optoelectric device and a second lens. The second lens is positioned adjacent the optoelectric device and positioned along the optical axis so that light traveling along the optical axis appears at the optoelectric device and passes through the second lens.
