US Patent 10502910 Transceiver modules

Examples of transceiver module assemblies may comprise a first transceiver module engaged with a first electrical device and including a first transceiver, a second transceiver module engaged with a second electrical device and including a second transceiver, and an electro-optical cable to connect the first transceiver module to the second transceiver module. The first transceiver module may receive an electrical signal and electrical power from the first electrical device, and the first transceiver may convert the electrical signal to an optical signal. The electro-optical cable may separately transmit the optical signal and the electrical power from the first transceiver module to the second transceiver module. The second transceiver may convert the optical signal back to the electrical signal and provide the converted electrical signal to the second electrical device.
