Abstract
An optical interface module includes a single flexible Printed Circuit Board (PCB) including conductive traces. An electrical connector, one or more opto-electronic transducers and ancillary circuitry are disposed on the flexible PCB. The electrical connector is configured to mate with a corresponding connector on a substrate. The opto-electronic transducers are configured to be coupled to optical fibers carrying optical signals. The ancillary circuitry is coupled by the traces to the opto-electronic transducers and the electrical connector so as to convey electrical signals corresponding to the optical signals between the opto-electronic transducers and the electrical connector.
