Abstract

An electro-optical interface system is disclosed which incorporates a housing, an electrical circuit supported from the housing and configured to interface to a plurality of remote electrical components, an electronics subsystem and an optical subsystem. The electronics subsystem is housed within the housing and in communication with the electrical circuit. The optical subsystem is housed within the housing and in communication with the electronics subsystem. The optical subsystem receives electrical signals from the electronics subsystem which are representative of electrical signals received from the remote electrical components, and converts the received electrical signals into optical signals for transmission to a remote subsystem.
