The subject matter described herein involves a connector cable,
particularly for use in a computerized storage system, such as Fibre
Channel. The connector cable generally connects together a storage device,
a power supply and an optical cable through which optical signals are
transferred. A media interface adapter connects between the connector
cable and the optical cable and receives electrical power from the power
supply through the connector cable to convert the optical signals to
electrical signals and vice versa. Using a plurality of the connector
cables with or without a connection to the power supply, a plurality of
the storage devices may be chained together.
