Active optical cable, active optical cable control method, and active optical cable wiring method

摘要

An active optical cable is realized which requires less time and effort for removal work when a failure such as disconnection is found than before, and does not require a complicated connector structure as in the related art. The active optical cable (1) includes a first connector (11), a second connector (12), optical fiber cords (10a1, 10a2), and a power line (10b1). The control circuit of the first connector (11) is configured such that when power supply to the first connector (11) and the second connector (12) is started, the first connector (11) or the second connector (12) is not connected. , A control circuit for performing a failure test on the optical fiber cords (10a1, 10a2) is provided.
