• Compatibility with HDMI-compliant sources and sinks
• Accepts TMDS inputs directly into its 40-pin plug-down connector
• Support for USB 1.1 peripheral interconnect functionality

• Support for HDCP/EDID/CEC/ARC consumer electronics functionality
• Support for infrared pass-through, from the sink to the source
• Automatic laser disable upon fiber disconnect

"Like many of our top products, the 02E subsystem was developed directly from customer input and underscores our commitment to delivering powerful functionality but also flexibility," noted Martin Smith, director of marketing, ONP. "The 02E maintains the same easy-to-use integrated 'pluggable' form factor customers rely on, while surpassing competing optical modules with true USB 1.1, error-free Ethernet, and broad product and signal compatibility, including HDMI and HDCP. Ultimately, the end customer experiences flawless transmission of high-definition video and data, all over a single, low-cost fiber."
