Abstract
This device essentially comprises: PA1 first and second connection ports (R1, R2) for said optical link, PA1 first, second and fourth supports (S1, S2, S4) adapted to support first, second and third opto-electronic transducer means, respectively, and PA1 third and fifth supports (S3, S5) adapted to support first and second beam switching means, respectively, these components being located in a common structure (S) and disposed relative to each other to enable optical transmission between said first connection port R1 and said first beam switching means, between each of said first and second opto-electronic transducer means and said first beam switching means, between said second port R2 and said second beam switching means, between each of the two switching means and between said third opto-electronic transducer means and said second switching means, so defining within said structure first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh optical transmission channels (V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6, V7).
