Abstract

Three alternate fiber ribbon interconnections are described for optically interfacing two 4-channel optoelectronic transceiver modules, each module having separate, spaced apart transmitter and receiver diode arrays. In each instance the optical interconnection is made by either an 8 fiber or a 12 fiber ribbon and associated fiber end connectors.
