    摘要: A connector includes a receptacle connectable to the conventional plug being compliant with an HDMI specification, and a plug connectable to the receptacle. The receptacle includes a tubular body forming a holding space that enables insertion of the conventional plug, a first recessed part forming a space that narrows heading from the holding space in an insertion direction of the plug, and a first transmission body having, as an end of an optical transmission line, a first end that is disposed to be exposed to the inserted plug. The plug includes an insertion part shaped to be insertable into the tubular body, a first projection that projects from the insertion part in the insertion direction and can fit into the first recessed part, and a second transmission body having, as an end of an optical transmission line, a second end that is disposed to face the first end.

    摘要: A cable assembly includes a cable, a connector that is provided at an end of the cable in a direction in which the cable extends, a plurality of electric transmission lines configured to transmit an electric signal, and a plurality of optical transmission lines configured to transmit an optical signal. The plurality of electric transmission lines and the plurality of optical transmission lines are provided in the cable assembly so as to extend across the cable and the connector. The plurality of optical transmission lines are provided so that at least one of the plurality of optical transmission lines is provided at each of ends of the cable assembly in a width direction perpendicular to the direction in which the cable extends. The plurality of electric transmission lines are provided inside the plurality of optical transmission lines in the width direction.

    摘要: An AV signal input/output system includes an AV signal output device, an AV signal input device, and a cable which connects between the devices. The AV signal output device includes an existing interface, an optical interface, a selection output controller which selects existing interface differential signals or optical output signals, and outputs an AV signal, and an information identification unit which reads out information of the connected destination of a connector through existing interface signal lines. The information identification unit includes an optical information identification unit which identifies optical information. The AV signal input device includes an existing interface, an optical interface, a selection input controller which selects existing interface differential signals or optical input signals, and outputs an AV signal, and information storage which causes a connector to read out information through existing interface signal lines. The information storage includes optical information storage.
