Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention provides a printed circuit board ("PCB") with embedded optical fibers. In one embodiment, the optical fibers are in a pattern between layers of the PCB. In another embodiment, the optical fibers are within a layer of the PCB. Optical fibers embedded within the PCB allows components to use high speed optical data communication.
