摘要:
A connection system for providing multiple modes of electromagnetic connection to a device. This system includes a ribbon cable with a plurality of multi-mode electromagnetic conductors arranged in a serial array, one alongside the other including a central optical conductor disposed between a pair of electrical conductors. The system also includes a multi-mode electromagnetic connector, that includes a housing, and optical transducers disposed between a pair of electrical terminals that have insulation piercing free ends. A cover that latchingly engages the housing applies pressure to the ribbon cable, forcing the ribbon cable to be pierced by the upper ends of the terminals and pressing the optical conductor into optical communication with said transducers. The electrical conductors carry electrical power comprising alternating current, at a frequency ranging between 10 and 30 kHz.
