Abstract:
1. A smooth connector circuit for on-line connection of an optical telecommunication module to a main telecommunication unit comprising a common power supply circuit and connectable to a number of optical telecommunication modules by separately creating with each of them a power connection, a control connection and a communication connection, the smooth connector circuit, whenever an optical telecommunication module is connected to the main unit, being capable of successively creating said connections between the optical communication module and the main unit, so that the power connection is created first and a required level of power supply in said module is reached gradually, the smooth connector circuit further comprising a delay circuit for creating the control and communication connections between the telecommunication module and the main unit after the power connection is established and the power supply level at said module is reached, wherein the delay circuit comprises a Schmit trigger assembly operative to enable interaction between the main unit and the module when the power supply level at the module reaches its required level.
