20080240724 | System and method for cable monitoring - Embodiments include methods, apparatus, and systems for cable monitoring. One embodiment includes a method that receives data from an optical transceiver coupled to a cable and a RFID (radio frequency identification) device mounted to the cable. The data from the optical transceiver and RFID device is used to determine an operational status of the cable. | 10-02-2008 |
20100080554 | Fiber Optic Cable Diagnostics Using Digital Modulation - Embodiments are directed to fiber optic cable diagnostics using digital modulation. A contact of a RFID (radio frequency identification) device located in a cable is connected with a contact of an optical transceiver. Data through the cable is using digital modulation and monitored to determine if the fiber optic cable and the optical transceiver are properly functioning. | 04-01-2010 |
20110086539 | Cable end connectors - A cable end connector has a main body portion and male connector portions extending therefrom. The male connector portions are respectively receivable in recesses in an end portion of a cable connection component. The cable end connector is adapted to display status light signals emitted from between the recesses at the end portion of the cable connection component. | 04-14-2011 |
20110221609 | Cable connection component configured to provide visible indications - A cable connection component is receivable in a housing of a host information handling device for coupling to a circuit of the host device. The component has a status light and a light guide configured, in use with the component at least partially received in the host housing, to guide light from the status light to provide indications visible externally of the host housing. A connection device, a cable end connector and an SFP-type or SFF-type transceiver body are also disclosed. | 09-15-2011 |
20120020672 | OPTICAL TRANSCEIVER HAVING AN OTDR MODE, AND A METHOD OF OBTAINING TEST DATA FOR TESTING AN OPTICAL FIBER - An optical transceiver has a communications mode and an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) mode. The transceiver comprises a transmitter channel and a receiver channel operable, in the communications mode, to respectively transmit and receive communications signals through respective external optical fibers. The transceiver also comprises a guide arrangement for guiding, in the OTDR mode, a reflected OTDR signal along a path from the transmitter channel into the receiver channel. A method of obtaining test data for an optical fiber in an optical data communications subsystem is also disclosed. | 01-26-2012 |
20120023432 | ICONS WITH SUBPARTS PRESENTING INFORMATION ABOUT A SYSTEM - One embodiment is a method that generates a map of a system. The map includes an icon that is divided into multiple parts that depict different operational information about a device in the system. | 01-26-2012 |
