Abstract: The subject matter described herein involves a connector cable, particularly for use in a computerized storage system, such as Fibre Channel. The connector cable generally connects together a storage device, a power supply and an optical cable through which optical signals are transferred. A media interface adapter connects between the connector cable and the optical cable and receives electrical power from the power supply through the connector cable to convert the optical signals to electrical signals and vice versa. Using a plurality of the connector cables with or without a connection to the power supply, a plurality of the storage devices may be chained together.
