Abstract

A system for optical data interconnect of a source and a sink includes a first HDMI compatible electrical connector able to receive electrical signals from the source. A first signal converter is connected to the first HDMI compatible electrical connector and includes electronics for conversion of TMDS or FRL electrical signals to optical signals, with the electronics including an optical conversion device connectable to source ground to reduce noise. At least one optical fiber is connected to the first signal converter. A second signal converter is connected to the at least one optical fiber and includes electronics for conversion of optical signals to TMDS or FRL electrical signals. A power module for the second signal converter provides power to an electrical signal amplifier connectable to sink ground. A second HDMI compatible electrical connector is connected to the second signal converter and able to send signals to the sink.
