1. An assembly comprising:
an avionics cabinet comprising a plurality of slots and a first wall;
a module insertable into a slot of the avionics cabinet according to a longitudinal axis and reversibly held fixed therein in an operative position, the slot being one of said plurality of slots, the module comprising a first face opposite the first wall of the avionics cabinet;
wherein the first wall of the avionics cabinet comprises, at each slot, a first optical network comprising first optical emitters and first optical receivers;
wherein the first face of the module comprises a second optical network comprising second optical emitters and second optical receivers;
when the module is in the operative position in the slot of the avionics cabinet, the first optical network of the slot, the second optical network are remote from each other by a predefined distance;
wherein each second optical emitter is disposed opposite a first optical receiver of the first optical network in the slot; and
wherein each second optical receiver is disposed opposite a first optical emitter of the first optical network in the slot.
