Abstract

See full text

An optical cable includes a single optical connector configured for insertion into an optical receptacle so as to receive optical signals at a plurality of different wavelengths from the optical receptacle, and multiple electrical connectors, configured for insertion into respective electrical receptacles. Each electrical connector includes a transceiver configured to convert the optical signals into electrical output signals for output to an electrical receptacle. The optical cable further includes a plurality of optical fibers, having respective first ends connected together to the single optical connector so as to receive the optical signals. Each of the optical fibers has a respective second end coupled to a respective one of the electrical connectors. Wavelength selection optics are associated with the optical fibers so that the transceiver in each of the electrical connectors receives the optical signals at a different, respective one of the wavelengths.
