1. A method of providing power to a remote optical conversion device, the method comprising:

  • receiving from a first external device an optical signal at an optical interface of an electrical to optical conversion device, wherein the optical signal is delivered to the optical interface via a fiber optical cable and including at least one wavelength;

    extracting energy from the optical signal;

    developing electrical current from the energy using a detector, wherein the electrical current is developed through a photovoltaic process;

    extracting data from the optical signal;

    converting the data to an electrical signal; and

    transmitting the electrical signal to an external device via an electrical interface of the electrical to optical interface device.
