Abstract
An electrical connector to be electrically disposed between a first circuit board and a second circuit board to electrically couple the first circuit board with the second circuit board is disclosed. The electrical connector may have an electro-optic modulator to modulate optical signals based on electrical signals exchanged between the first and second circuit boards through the electrical connector. Systems incorporating such electrical connectors, and methods of using the electrical connectors and systems, such as for debug, are also disclosed.
