Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to an apparatus having a connector with a mating interface on one end and a coupling with an optical fiber on the other end, where the connector includes an opto-electrical device capable of communicatively coupling electrical data signals and optical data signals. In another aspect, a system is disclosed where non-optically communicative hardware components can utilize an optical fiber communication path without the need for including a light source at the hardware component or connector.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a connector; an electrically shielded cable having an end physically connected to the connector, the connector being configured to physically connect an optical fiber to the cable; and an opto-electrical device located within a housing of the connector, the opto-electrical device being electrically and communicatively coupled to the cable and being configured to optically couple to the optical fiber such that the end of the optical fiber faces the opto-electrical device.
