US Patent 11493712 Hybrid port to legacy port converter

An integrated transceiver module may be configured to convert optical signals received by optical transmission media of the hybrid optical/electrical connector and convert such optical signals into equivalent electrical signals and drive such equivalent electrical signals to electrically-conductive conduits of the electrical connector and convert electrical signals received by electrically-conductive conduits of the electrical connector and convert such electrical signals into equivalent optical signals and drive such equivalent optical signals to the optical transmission media of the hybrid optical/electrical connector, such that the device can communicate with a hybrid optical/electrical port of an information handling system via the cable.
