Claim:
1. A cable, comprising: a first connector comprising: a second connector comprising: one or more optical waveguides for transmitting the first modulated optical signal from the first connector to the second connector; and one or more electrical wire mediums for transmitting the power signal from the first connector to the second connector or from the second connector to the first connector; wherein the data comprises relatively high speed data, wherein the first optical modulator is configured to modulate the first optical signal with the relatively high speed data, wherein the first optical demodulator is configured to demodulate the first optical signal to generate the relatively high speed data, wherein the third set of one or more electrical contacts are configured to provide the relatively high speed data to the second device, and wherein the second connector is configured to receive relatively low speed data from the second device by way of the third set of one or more electrical contacts.
