Abstract
Optical cable assemblies with variable output current limits are disclosed. In one embodiment, an active optical cable assembly includes a cable having at least one electrical conductor, a host connector coupled to a first end of the cable, and a device connector coupled to a second end of the cable. The host connector includes a host circuit that determines a current limit of one or more devices coupled to the active optical cable assembly and produces a transmitted voltage in accordance with the current limit on the at least one electrical conductor. The device connector includes a device circuit that detects the transmitted voltage on the at least one electrical conductor and limits a current configured to be provided to a device coupled to the device connector based on the transmitted voltage.
