Abstract

A magnetic coaxial electro-optical connector device comprises, a coaxial electro-optical cable and a coaxial electro-optical adapter. The coaxial electro-optical cable comprises a centre optical waveguide for carrying optical signals and a plurality of outer electrical conductors around the centre optical waveguide for carrying electrical power. The coaxial electro-optical adapter comprises a ring-shaped magnetic element magnetised along the axis and means for holding and biasing the ring-shaped magnetic element. The ring-shaped magnetic element engages with a mating ring-shaped magnetic element of another coaxial electro-optical adapter and provides alignment. The coaxial electro-optical connector device further comprises a socket made of a non-magnetic material, having a cylindrical recess. The socket is capable of securely attaching to a wall outlet or to an opto--electronic device. This invention relates to coaxial connector devices, and the principal use of the invention is for electro-optical connection.
