Abstract:
1. Apparatus, comprising: a U-shaped printed circuit board (PCB); first optical transducers mounted on a first substrate of the U-shaped PCB; second optical transducers mounted on a second substrate of the U-shaped PCB; an optical I/O connector, which is configured to connect to external optical fibers for connecting first and second optical signals to the apparatus; a first optical ferrule, which is optically coupled to the first optical transducers, via first holes formed in the first substrate; a second optical ferrule, which is optically coupled to the second optical transducers, via second holes formed in the second substrate; a light rotation module, which is configured to bend and transfer the first and second optical signals between the optical I/O connector and the first and second optical ferrules; and one or more lenses, which are mounted between the first ferrule and the first holes, so as to couple the first optical signals via the first holes between the first ferrule and the first optical transducers.
