Abstract:
1. A photoelectric conversion module comprising: an optical subassembly that has an optical device and an electronic circuit mounted over an electric wiring substrate, the optical device emitting or receiving an optical signal, the electronic circuit driving the optical device to convert an electric signal into the optical signal or amplifying the electric signal converted from the optical signal; an optical connector that permits optical coupling between the optical device and an optical transmission medium for transmitting the optical signal; and an electric connector, consisting of a plug and a receptacle part, that permits electric coupling between the electric wiring substrate and a device board; wherein the optical connector is mounted over that surface of the optical subassembly facing the device board; wherein, when the plug and the receptacle part are combined, the electric connector is opened so that the optical transmission medium is threaded therethrough and extended through at least two sides of the electric connector facing the optical subassembly; and wherein the optical transmission medium is extended between the optical subassembly and the device board in a vertically stacked manner.
