I have a situation where some long cables would come in handy (ie, DisplayPort, USB, maybe even RJ45 / USB). Because of length restrictions with these cables, I believe one of the ways to go would be using an AOC cable.
I'm curious as to how hard they are to make. My limited understanding is various connectors on one end, fibre in the middle, and something to convert the electrical signals to light and back again...for the RJ45 / USB cable, what I mean is RJ45 on one end, USB on the other.
Has anyone ever successfully made an Active Optical Cable (AOC)?
