Abstract: Opto-electrical connection systems including opto-electrical cables providing configurable connectivity between electrical devices having electrical interfaces are disclosed. Related assemblies and methods are also disclosed. By using configurable connection assemblies having at least one configurable connection device adapted to accept optical connectors of optical fibers of opto-electrical cables, many electrical devices having electrical interfaces may be configurably connected. For example, the configurable opto-electrical connection system may be configured to provide more bandwidth and/or connect electrical devices with less power consumption than would be associated with conventional copper cabling solutions. In this manner, the high bandwidth, lower power consumption, and long distance signal capability of optical fibers may be provided to connect electronic devices which were originally designed with electrical interfaces meant to be connected with copper cables.

Abstract: Excess radio-frequency (RF) power storage and power sharing RF Identification (RFID) tags, and related RFID tag connection systems and methods are disclosed. The excess RF power storage and power sharing RFID tags and related RFID tag connection systems and methods in embodiments disclosed herein allow connected RFID tags to store excess energy derived from excess received RF power in a shared energy storage device. In this manner, an individual RFID tag or a group of connected RFID tags in the RFID tag connection system can continue operation during temporary times when sufficient RF power is not being received from a RFID reader. Sharing stored energy derived from excess received RF power in a shared energy storage device among connected RFID tags in a RFID tag connection system can significantly mitigate problems of RF power interruption.
