20130022318 | FIELD TERMINATED FIBER OPTIC AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTION DEVICE - A modified communication cable and terminal connector provides an effective combination to accommodate the transmission of signals over fiber optic conductors. The terminal connector includes a light transmitter, a light receiver and interface circuitry such that the connector exchanges signals over electrical conductors. The connector receives and engages fiber optic conductors and an alignment ferrule completes a connection with a fixed lens of the transmitter or receiver. The particular arrangement requires cleaving of the fiber optic conductors but avoids steps such as polishing and gluing. | 01-24-2013 |
20100316374 | Networked mapping function - A fiber to copper patch terminal includes selectively activated circuitry for controlling an associated transceiver to produce a condition where normal communication with a connected power patch panel module has been temporarily interrupted. The patch terminal includes a selectively activated location identification function. This function when activated causes the optical transceiver to transmit a location signal preferably during a period where communication is awaiting resetting. In a preferred embodiment the patch terminal is designed to transmit the location signal during a period where Ethernet communication as awaiting completion of a reset. | 12-16-2010 |
