Abstract
Point-to-point link for the transmission of digital signals includes two opto-electronic conversion apparatuses and an optical cable including at least one optical fiber having two terminal portions, each opto-electronic conversion apparatus including an opto-electronic device optically coupled to a respective terminal portion between the two terminal portions of the at least one optical fiber, wherein at least one of the two opto-electronic conversion apparatuses is adapted to keep the respective terminal portion of the optical fiber in bent position with a bending radius R, where 1.5 mm≦R≦2.5 mm, and to keep the respective opto-electronic device optically coupled to the bent terminal portion in order to allow the transmission of the digital signals between the optical fiber and the at least one of the two opto-electronic conversion apparatuses; and at least the bent terminal portion of the at least one optical fiber is such as to satisfy the following relationship r/R<0.07*n/(35+n), where n is the stress corrosion susceptibility factor and r is the radius of the cladding of the optical fiber.
