Abstract
A smart optical connector (100) sends and recieves optical signals over optical fibers (200, 202). The smart otical connector (100) is capable of converting electrical signals to optical signals for transmission, and capable of converting optical signals to electrical signals for reception. Addtionally, the smart optical connector (100) comprises circuitry (217) for modifying the format of the electrical signals-to provide compatibility between various equiptment (414, 416, 418) which require differing formats.
