Abstract
A USB connector is provided that has an OE module and high-speed electrical connections integrated therein. The OE module includes an optical module, at least one laser diode, at least one photodiode, an optical transceiver IC, and a PCB. The optical module, the laser diode, the photodiode, and the IC are mounted on a surface of the PCB. The OE module is secured within the USB connector. The PCB includes conductive traces and electrical contact pads. The conductive traces electrically connect the IC with the contact pads. The contact pads are electrically connected via through holes formed in the PCB to the high-speed electrical connections, which, in turn, are electrically connected to conductive traces of a motherboard or a computer.
