yes theres basically two types of fiber optic cables

1. This type is powered on one end by the computer and the other end by a power adapter. This one has only fiber optic cable in between.

2. The hybrid type which is powered at both ends by the computer. This cable uses fiber optic cables to send the information and a metal power cable to power the other end.

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 figure out 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 lithiumor lead acid battery for it so I can just power it on battery, basically powering my keyboard and mouse on battery.
