A magnetic coaxial electro-optical connector device comprises,
a coaxial electro-optical cable and a coaxial electro-optical
adapter. The coaxial electro-optical cable comprises a centre
optical waveguide for carrying optical signals and a
plurality of outer electrical conductors around the centre
optical waveguide for carrying electrical power. The coaxial
electro-optical adapter comprises a ring-shaped magnetic
element magnetised along the axis and means for holding and
biasing the ring-shaped magnetic element. The ring-shaped
magnetic element engages with a mating ring-shaped magnetic
element of another coaxial electro-optical adapter and
provides alignment. The coaxial electro-optical connector
device further comprises a socket made of a non-magnetic
material, having a cylindrical recess. The socket is capable
of securely attaching to a wall outlet or to an
opto--electronic device. This invention relates to coaxial
connector devices, and the principal use of the invention is
for electro-optical connection.
