This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18886389 titled 'OPTO-ELECTRICAL CONNECTION SYSTEM, AND OPTO-ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR
Original Abstract Submitted
An opto-electrical connection system includes a first connector and a second connector. The first connector includes a plurality of first conductors, a plurality of first optical fibers, and a first housing. The second connector includes a plurality of second conductors, a plurality of second optical fibers, and a second housing. The first housing includes a first end face, and the second housing includes a second end face. Each leading end portion of the first conductors is exposed at the first end face, and each leading end portion of the second conductors is exposed at the second end face. Each first conductor and each second conductor are configured to be brought into contact with each other to achieve conduction, and each first optical fiber and each second optical fiber are configured to be optically coupled to each other in a non-contact state.
