Abstract
Methods for USB signal communication over an optical link are described. One aspect includes detecting connection of a device circuit to a USB device. The detecting may further include transmitting an electrical pulse through a reactive network, and detecting a change in a delay associated with the electrical pulse responsive to connecting the device circuit to the USB device. An optical signal associated with the detected connection may be transmitted to a host circuit via an optical communication channel.
