Data communications system including an optical fiber data link disposed between serial bidirectional electrical data busses

摘要

An optical fiber data communications network in which an electro-optical transceiver couples a plurality of serial electrical data buses over a single bidirectional optical fiber link, and includes a controller that functions by oversampling the digital electrical signal on each of such buses, multiplexes them, and converts the signal into a high speed optical signal for transmission over an optical fiber.
