摘要：: A connecting device for a fiber optic cable includes a first part having first and second electrical connectors located on its housing, and a second part having a third electrical connector located on its housing. The second and third electrical connectors are adapted to be mechanically and electrically connect with each other or disconnected from each other. The first part has electrical components disposed within its housing and electrically connected to the first and second electrical connectors. The second part receives end portions of optical fibers of the fiber optic cable; it has optical transceivers within its housing but no other electrical circuitry. Also disclosed is a cable device employing an optical fiber cable and two connecting devices at its two ends, at least one of which having a structure described above. Various form factors can be adopted for the first part, including a plug, wall plate, standalone box, etc.
主权项：: 1. A connecting device for a fiber optic cable, comprising: a wall plate comprising: a plate-shaped frame;one or more first electrical connectors disposed on a front side of the frame;one or more second electrical connectors disposed on a rear side of the frame; andelectrical components electrically connected to the first and second electrical connectors; and a second part comprising: a housing adapted to receive end portions of a plurality of optical fibers of the fiber optic cable;a third electrical connector located on the housing; andoptical transceivers disposed within the housing, the optical transceivers being electrically connected to the third electrical connector and adapted to be optically coupled to the plurality of optical fibers; wherein the third electrical connector is adapted to be mechanically and electrically connected with one of the second electrical connectors or be disconnected from it, wherein another one of the second electrical connectors is a power connector for supplying power to the wall plate, and wherein each of the first plurality of electrical connectors complies with a predetermined standard.
