Magnetic connector with optical signal path

A power and data adapter comprising:

• a first port for receiving a first power supply;
• a second port for a data connection;
• and
• a third port for providing a second power supply, a ground, and optical data and for receiving optical data;
• a cable coupled to the third port having a first conductor for the second power supply, a second conductor for ground, a first fiber optic cable for providing optical data, and a second fiber optic cable for receiving optical data;
• and
• a connector coupled to the cable, the connector comprising:
• a first surface, the first surface being symmetrical about a first axis and symmetrical about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis;
• the first axis and the second axis being perpendicular to a connection axis of the first surface;
• an attraction plate extending from the first surface;
• a first pin to provide an electrical connection for a first power supply voltage, the first pin extending from the first surface and aligned with the first axis and spaced a first distance away from the second axis;
• a second pin to provide an electrical connection for the first power supply voltage, the second pin extending from the first surface and aligned with the first axis and spaced the first distance away from the second axis opposite the first pin such that the first pin and the second pin are symmetrical about the second axis;
• a third pin to provide an optical connection to receive data;
• a fourth pin to provide an optical connection to transmit data, the third pin and the fourth pin located between the first pin and the second pin;
• a fifth pin to provide an electrical connection for a second power supply, the fifth pin extending from the first surface and aligned with the first axis and spaced a second distance away from the second axis, and
• a sixth pin to provide an electrical connection for the second power supply, the sixth pin extending from the first surface and aligned with the first axis and spaced the second distance away from the second axis opposite the fifth pin such that the fifth pin and the sixth pin are symmetrical about the second axis,
• wherein the attraction plate is located around the first pin, the second pin, the third pin, and the fourth pin, the fifth pin, and the sixth pin.
