An apparatus (100) couples first and second electronic devices (206, 202), the first electronic device (206) having an optical communications port (208) and the second electronic device (202) having an electrical communications port (204). The apparatus (100) includes an electrical interface (102) functionally compatible with the electrical communications port (204), and an optical interface (107) functionally compatible with the optical communications port (208) and electrically coupled to the electrical interface (102) for communicating with the electrical interface (102). The electrical interface (102) and the optical interface (107) provide communications between the electrical communications port (204) and the optical communications port (208) when the electrical interface (102) is electrically coupled to the electrical communications port (204), and the optical interface (107) is optically coupled to the optical communications port (208).
