1. An optical communication system for a vehicle in which a plurality of electronic apparatuses are interconnected in a ring shape in the vehicle and a signal is relayed among the electronic apparatuses, the optical communication system comprising:

  • a first electronic apparatus section housing, in a first case, at least one electronic apparatus and first photoelectric conversion means for converting an optical signal from an optical transmission line into an electric signal to output the electric signal to the electronic apparatus and converting an electric signal entered from the electronic apparatus into an optical signal to send the optical signal to the optical transmission line, the first photoelectric conversion means being connected through an electric transmission line to the electronic apparatus; and

    a second electronic apparatus section housing, in a second case, at least one electronic apparatus and second photoelectric conversion means for converting an optical signal from the optical transmission line into an electric signal to output the electric signal to the electronic apparatus and converting an electric signal entered from the electronic apparatus into an optical signal to send the optical signal to the optical transmission line, the second photoelectric conversion means being connected through the optical transmission line to the first photoelectric conversion means of the first electronic apparatus section and connected through an electric transmission line to the at least one electronic apparatus, wherein the first electronic apparatus section is disposed on a front portion in the vehicle, and the second electronic apparatus section is disposed on a rear portion in the vehicle.
