1. A hybrid optical/electrical interface device comprising:

  • a housing;

    a fiber optic coupler; and

    an electrical conductor coupler having a first pair of electrical contacts electrically coupled to a second pair of electrical contacts,wherein the fiber optical coupler and the electrical conductor coupler define a first side of the housing with a first fiber optic/electrical hybrid connector receiving-receptacle and define the second side of the housing with a second same fiber optic/electrical hybrid connector receiving-receptacle, wherein the electrical conductor coupler includes circuitry that changes a polarity at the first pair of contacts to an opposite polarity at the second pair of contacts.
