Claim Text:
1. An optical cable module, comprising: a connector comprising a photoelectric component, wherein the photoelectric component includes at least one laser for producing a plurality of optical signals to transmit video or data signals, and a wavelength of at least one of the plurality of optical signals is within a visible light spectrum; and an optical cable connected to the connector for transmitting the at least one optical signal, wherein the optical cable comprises at least one optical fiber, an outer cladding layer and at least one reflective portion, and the outer cladding layer surrounds the at least one optical fiber, and the outer cladding layer includes at least one transparent portion and at least one opaque portion, and at least one portion of the optical signals is leaked from the optical fiber and passes through the transparent portion to a surrounding environment, and a material and/or a diameter of the transparent portion is different from a material and/or a diameter of the opaque portion, and the at least one portion of the optical signals leaked from the optical fiber includes the video or data signals, wherein a coupling efficiency between the at least one optical fiber and the laser is adjusted to be reduced relative to a maximum attainable coupling efficiency in order to generate the leaked portion of the optical signals, and wherein a cross-sectional shape of the outer cladding layer is a rectangle, and the optical cable is configured to be rolled and received in a reel.
