Abstract
An optical interconnection member for interconnecting at least one optical fiber with a data processing unit. The interconnection member comprises an optical, electrical conversion device, an optical transformation array and an adapter. The conversion device is mounted in operable alignment with the data processing unit and the adapter is adapted to receive the connector. The optical transformation array defines an optical transmission medium between non-parallel input and output surfaces whereby the connector and the data processing unit can be interconnected in a non-perpendicular manner.
