Abstract: A hands-free asset management system and a method of its operation are disclosed. An example system includes an asset tracking database storing an asset location and one or more identifying characteristics of each of a plurality of networking assets, and an application executable on a wearable display device communicatively connected to the asset tracking database. The application is executable to receive a work order associated with at least one asset among the plurality of networking assets, based on a location of the wearable display device and the work order, display one or more directions to the asset for a wearer of the wearable display device, and display one or more work instructions to be performed on the asset.

Abstract: Some example methods of connectorizing an end of an optical cable include providing the ferrule assembly including a ferrule, a stub optical fiber extending rearwardly from the ferrule, and a flange disposed about the ferrule; splicing the stub optical fiber to an optical fiber of the optical cable at a splice location; and overmolding a rear hub portion (e.g., without any protective layers disposed between the rear hub portion and the stub optical fiber and optical fiber of the optical cable) using an adhesive material. The flange may include Nylon 6, 6. Splicing the fibers may include pulling the fibers away from each other during splicing without separating the fibers.
