Abstract:
1. A communication connection in a subsea well for an optical fiber, the communication connection comprising: an electrical connector comprising first and second mating parts, each of the first and the second mating parts is having a respective shell portion; a first small form factor pluggable device received in the shell portion of the first mating part for converting an optical signal of the optical fiber into an electrical signal; and a second small form factor pluggable device received in the shell portion of the second mating part for converting the electrical signal back to an optical signal; wherein a power for both the first and the second small form factor pluggable devices is provided by an optical energy from a further optical fiber in a communication with a photovoltaic cell, wherein the photovoltaic cell is to convert the optical energy into the power for both the first and the second small form factor pluggable devices, and wherein the photovoltaic cell is molded in an end portion of the electrical connector.
