摘要：
Integrated silicon photonic active optical cable assemblies (ACOAs), as well as sub-assemblies and components for AOCAs, are disclosed. One component is a multifiber ferrule configured to support multiple optical fibers in a planar array. The multifiber ferrule is combined with a flat top to form a ferrule sub-assembly. Embodiments of a unitary fiber guide member that combines the features of the multifiber ferrule and the flat top is also disclosed. The ferrule sub-assembly or the fiber guide member is combined with a photonic light circuit (PLC) silicon substrate with transmitter and receiver units to form a PLC assembly. The PLC assembly is combined with a printed circuit board and an electrical connector to form an ACOA. An extendable cable assembly that utilizes at least one ACOA is also described.
