  • Distribution frame and optical connector holder combination
    Patent number: 5337400
    Abstract: A combination of distribution frame and optical connector holders receivable in the frame provided with an electrical circuit which permits both ends of a chosen optical fiber patch cord to be located quickly. The patch cords have electrical conductors in addition to optical fibers. After one end of the chosen patch cord is located in one holder, an electrical current is passed along one circuit including the patch cord to result in an indicator lamp being lit on the other holder holding the other end of the chosen patch cord. Using a different circuit, the other end of the chosen patch cord is distinguished from all patch cord ends in the other holder.
