摘要： Cable designs and methods are provided herein to enable remote end access to active cable controllers for monitoring and upgrade operations. One illustrative network cable design includes: a first end connector configured to couple with a first host port and a second end connector configured to couple with a second host port, each of the first and second end connectors configured to convey a data stream in each direction via optical or electrical conductors connected between the first and second end connectors; a controller and a powered transceiver circuit included in the first end connector, the controller operable to configure operation of the powered transceiver circuit; and electrical contacts in the second end connector for a management bus to convey information from the second host port to the controller in the first end connector.

摘要： Active cables and communication methods can provide data path redundancy with power sharing. In one illustrative cable implementation, the cable includes a first connector with contacts to supply power to circuitry in the first connector; a second connector with contacts to supply power to a component of the circuitry in the first connector via a first connection that prevents reverse current flow; and a third connector with contacts to supply power to the same component via a second connection that prevents reverse current flow. An illustrative method implementation includes: using contacts of a first connector to supply power to circuitry in the first connector; and using contacts in each of multiple redundant connectors to supply power to a component of said circuitry in the first connector via a corresponding diodic or switched connection that prevents reverse current flow.
