Connection arrangement for optical communication systems

Abstract

A casing for a communication apparatus having at least one electrical lead for carrying RF signals within the apparatus is provided. The casing includes at least one electrically non-conductive electromagnetic absorber body adapted to at least partly cover the at least one electrical lead.

1 . A casing for a communication apparatus having at least one electrical lead for carrying RF signals within the apparatus, the casing comprising: 
 at least one electrically non-conductive electromagnetic absorber body adapted to at least partly cover the at least one electrical lead.    
   
   
       2 . The casing of  claim 1 , further comprising a dielectric support board for the at least one electrical lead, wherein said at least one electrical lead is adapted to be arranged between said at least one electrically non-conductive electromagnetic absorber body and said dielectric support board.  
   
   
       3 . The casing of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one electrically non-conductive electromagnetic absorber body comprises a material selected from the group consisting of a magnetically loaded material, an iron loaded material, a ferrite loaded material, and a dielectrically loaded material.  
   
   
       4 . The casing of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one electrically non-conductive electromagnetic absorber body comprises a material selected from the group consisting of silicon, urethane, vinyl plastic, and silicon rubber.  
   
   
       5 . The casing of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one electrically non-conductive electromagnetic absorber body is in the form of a sheet material.
