1. An electronic device, comprising:
at least one wired communication port;
a plurality of opto-electric signal converters, each configured to be selectively coupled to a power supply, each opto-electric signal converter forming part of a respective one of a plurality of fiber optic communication ports;
a processor configured to route at least one of voice or data from the at least one wired communication port to the plurality of opto-electric signal converters; and
a microcontroller, wherein:
the microcontroller is configured to:
select a first fiber optic communication port from the plurality of fiber optic communication ports based on a predefined level of security classification associated with the first fiber optic communication port;
enable the first fiber optic communication port by directing power to its respective opto-electric signal converter from the power supply; and
disable remaining ports of the plurality of fiber optic communication ports, except the first fiber optic communication port, by removing the power from the power supply to their respective opto-electric signal converters, such that the remaining ports remain unpowered and unable to communicate the at least one of the voice or the data.
