Abstract
An interface converter module is provided for converting data signals from a first transmission medium to a second transmission medium. The module includes a metallized housing having a first end and a second end. A shielded electrical connector is mounted at the first end of the housing and configured to mate to a corresponding host connector associated with a first transmission medium. The housing includes a flexible metallic shielded cable extending from the second end. The remote end of the shielded cable comprises the media interface which includes an interface connector configured to the connect flexible shielded cable to the second transmission medium. A printed circuit board is mounted within the housing and has mounted thereon electronic circuitry configured to convert data signals from a host device transmission medium to the second transmission medium.
