Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an active optical cable adapter with insertion / removal direction indication function. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing HDMI / DP / USB AOC (Active Optical Cable) cables are directional, requiring correct matching between the transmitter and receiver. If the user plugs them in backwards, the cable will not function properly. However, users often cannot visually determine the plugging / unplugging direction, frequently leading to: 1. No signal after plugging in backwards, mistakenly believing the product is damaged; 2. Complex debugging and after-sales processes, lacking intuitive instructions.

[0003] Therefore, there is currently a lack of an adapter that can provide real-time indication of the insertion / removal direction. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an active optical cable adapter with insertion / removal direction indication function, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art. To achieve the above objective, this invention provides the following technical solution: An active optical cable adapter with insertion / removal direction indication function includes an adapter body. The adapter body is provided with a first Type-C female interface J1, a second Type-C female interface J2, a power management chip U1, a power management chip U2, a first indicator light D1, and a second indicator light D2. The power management chip U1 is connected to the VBUS pin of the first Type-C female interface J1 and the first indicator light D1, respectively. The power management chip U2 is connected to the VBUS pin of the second Type-C female interface J2 and the second indicator light D2, respectively.

[0005] Furthermore, the first indicator light D1 is connected to a first choke resistor R5.

[0006] Furthermore, the second indicator light D2 is connected to a second choke resistor R13.

[0007] Furthermore, both the power management chip U1 and the power management chip U2 are model SY8201.

[0008] Beneficial effect: When both interfaces are correctly plugged into the AOC cable, the VBUS of both interfaces is turned on and both LEDs are lit. When both interfaces are plugged in reverse, the VBUS of both interfaces will not conduct, and both LEDs will be off. When only one end is plugged in backwards, the LED on the corresponding connector will turn off, while the LED on the other end will remain lit. Attached Figure Description

[0009] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model, the drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.
