Abstract

An optical-electrical converter includes a converter body, two optical-electrical conversion modules and a housing. One end of the converter body is provided with an optical fiber insertion port. The optical-electrical conversion modules are arranged on two sides of the converter body to perform conversion of optical-electrical signal, respectively. The housing is used for covering a portion of the converter body to shield the optical-electrical conversion modules. Because of multiple optical-electrical conversion modules provided by the optical-electrical converter, the arrangement number and volume of the optical-electrical converter in optical fiber network equipment may be reduced significantly to comply with the miniaturization trend of optical fiber network equipment.
