Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided for optical communication with selective communication states. An example optical communication cable formed of one or more optical fibers includes a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The second end includes a first connector optically coupled with a first module, and a second connector optically coupled with a second module. The optical communication cable further includes a signal direction component optically coupled with the first end and the second end. The signal direction component is configured to switch between a first connection state in which optical connectivity is established between the first end and first connector and a second connection state in which optical connectivity is established between the first end and the second connector.
