Patent attributes
Extending a communication distance range of an electronic data interface involves establishing a data communicating link between a first and second electronic device in accordance which communicate in accordance with a predetermined electronic interface standard (PEIS). An optical fiber bus extender embedment (FBEE) disposed intermediate of the first and second electronic device includes first and second transport modules, respectively disposed proximate to the first and second electronic devices. These transport modules interface the FBEE directly with both of the first and second electronic device in accordance with the PEIS. Electronic data signals received from the first electronic device are used to modulate a first optical signal so as to form a first modulated optical data signal (MODS). The first MODS is coupled to an optical fiber to communicate the first MODS to the second transport module.
