摘要： An optical interconnection system for the realization of network elements in optical networks comprises a set of functional optical circuit modules (15) and an interconnection panel (10). The panel is provided with a row of module positions (13.1, 13.2, 14.1,..., 14.N) suitable for plugging in circuit modules (15), and with a pair of optical (1:N) splitters (16, 17), each pair of corresponding ports of which (16A/17A, 16.1/17.1, ..., 16.N/17.N) are interconnectable to a pair of a number of pairs of connection ports (11, 12.1, ..., 12.N) through a module position and a circuit module plugged into that position. The set of circuit modules comprises circuit modules with functions for signal interconnection, for signal transport direction reversal, and for signal manipulation. A number of panels can be coupled together for purposes of, inter alia, expansion and/or protection.
