Are there any (sorry if this is a dumb question) USB fiber optic cables youknow of that can work with mice and keyboards which don't require their own power source? (Such as is the case, if I'm correct, with the fiber optic DVI cable?)

Cheers

I recently got the USB fiber optic cable, I does make a nice difference though not as big a difference as the DVI fiber optic cable did for me. One issue I have with is that at my end it needs to be powered by an adapter but its ,only a 2 prong adapter so its not grounded, Im trying to figureout a way to ground it, I think Im going to buy a metal keyboard and just ground the chassis of the keyboard , Im also thinking of buying a lithium or lead acid battery for it so I can just power it on battery, basically powering my keyboard and mouse on battery.
