  • Methods and active optical cable assemblies for providing a reset signal at a peripheral end
    Patent number: 10873402
    Abstract: Methods and active optical cable assemblies for sending a reset signal from a host end of an active optical cable assembly to a peripheral end are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of resetting a peripheral end of an active optical cable assembly wherein data contacts of a host end of the active optical cable assembly are not coupled to data contacts of the peripheral end of the active optical cable assembly includes detecting a reset signal on one or more data contacts of the host end of the active optical cable assembly. The method further includes, in response to detection of the reset signal, generating a peripheral reset signal at the peripheral end of the active optical cable assembly.
