Abstract: Active optical cable assemblies and methods for thermally testing active optical cable assemblies are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of thermally testing an active optical cable assembly includes providing electrical signals to an optical transmission module within a first connector that converts the electrical signals into optical signals for transmission over one or more optical fibers of the active optical cable assembly, and applying heat to the first connector as the electrical signals are provided to the optical transmission module. The method further includes detecting electrical signals at a second connector of the active optical cable assembly. The detected electrical signals are converted from the optical signals by an optical receiver module within the second connector. The method further includes determining if the optical transmission module satisfies a benchmark at a threshold temperature of the optical transmission module based on the electrical signals detected at the second connector.

Abstract: An optical-electrical interface device for coupling to an optical distribution network is provided which comprises: a housing, an optical fiber port for coupling to a single optical fiber, an optical network terminal unit connected to the optical fiber port, a power sourcing management unit configured to manage the power supply of the optical network, network terminal unit, a plurality of electrical ports and a plurality of electrical cables each connected to the power sourcing management unit and to one of the electrical ports. The electrical ports are accessible and/or arranged outside the housing, wherein the optical-electrical interface device is configured to reverse-feed electrical power, from external electrical module devices connected to the electrical ports, for operating the optical network terminal unit which is arranged inside the housing. The power sourcing management unit is configured to calculate and/or control shares of electrical power received and/or to be received via the electrical cables from external electrical module devices, dependent on the number of external electrical module devices connected to one, some or all of the electrical ports.
