    Abstract: Cable adapters and connectors receive electrical signals and output optical signals. A cable adapter can receive various data signals in multiple interface protocols at a first electrical connector and provide an optical signal at a second connector. The conversion of electrical signals to optical signals may be achieved at various locations in the cable adapter. A connector can include an optical transmitter for converting electrical signals into optical signals. Such a connector can be provided on an output end of a cable adapter to provide optical signals corresponding to electrical signals received at an input connector of the cable adapter.

    Abstract: An electronic device having a housing and a receptacle connector. The receptacle connector includes an opening at an exterior surface of the housing. A plurality of contacts are arranged in a two dimensional array positioned within the opening of the receptacle connector. The receptacle connector is configured to concurrently mate with multiple plug connectors where each mated plug connector electrically connects to different and mutually exclusive subsets of contacts in the plurality of contacts. Switching circuitry is coupled to the plurality of contacts and configured to detect when one or more plug connectors are mated with the receptacle connector and electrically connect circuitry within the electronic device to contacts in the one or more plug connectors via subsets of contacts from the plurality of contacts.
