1. A cable assembly, comprising:
- a cable, comprising at least one first fiber wire and at least one second fiber wire; and
a first connector connected to the cable, wherein the first connector comprises;
a first interface, for connecting with an external device to receive data therefrom; and
at least one circuit board, wherein a plurality of devices are disposed on the at least one circuit board to form a circuitry, wherein the circuitry comprises at least one laser diode for emitting at least one optical signal to the at least one first fiber wire so as to transfer the data received from the external device and at least one first light-emitting diode (LED) for emitting a first visible light to the at least one second fiber wire of the cable.

Abstract
A cable assembly includes a cable and a connector, wherein the connector of the cable assembly includes laser diodes for transmitting optical signals to optical fiber wires of the cable for transferring data received from an external device and a light-emitting diode (LED) for emitting a visible light to a plastic fiber wire of the cable so that a user can use the visible light for different purposes. In addition, the connector of the cable assembly is capable of conforming to a standard HDMI connector or integrated with an earphone.
