Zusammenfassung:A flexible active signal cable ( 100, 200 ) includes a flexible printed circuit substrate ( 105 ), two electrical connectors ( 110 ), at least two metal conductors ( 115 ), at least one flexible optical waveguide ( 120 ), an optical transmitter ( 125 ), and an optical receiver ( 130 ). In some embodiments, the flexible active signal cable is less than 0.5 meters long and is capable of being wrapped and unwrapped from a 5 millimeter diameter mandrel 10,000 times with a low probability of failure at a test temperature, while supporting data rates greater than 25 megabits per second.
