Patent ID: 8488968

Claim:
A device for connecting a plurality of assemblage-mounted optical transmitters to a plurality of assemblage-mounted optical receivers mounted on a selected side of an assemblage, a. a planar frame configured to be coupled to the selected side of the assemblage; b. a plurality of first redirecting structures affixed to the planar frame and each configured to receive a first optical signal from a different one of the assemblage-mounted optical transmitters and each of the first redirecting structures configured to transmit a second optical signal, corresponding to the first optical signal, along a preselected path; and c. a plurality of second redirecting structures affixed to the planar frame and each configured to receive the second optical signal from a different one of the first plurality of redirecting structures and each of the second redirecting structures configured to transmit a third optical signal, corresponding to the second optical signal, to a different one of the assemblage-mounted optical receivers.
