  • Optical distribution device and light waveguide connector cable
    Patent number: 7027704
    Abstract: An optical distribution device has first connector points for the connection of incoming light waveguide cables, second connector points for the connection of outgoing light waveguide cables and at least one light waveguide connector cable having at least one connecting device on one or both ends for connecting at least one of the first connector points to at least one of the second connector points. Each connection device is provided with an electrical code memory device for storing an identification code and each of the first and second connector points are provided with an electrical code reader device connected to the associated code memory device for reading the identification code when the associated connector device is connected to one of the connector points. A controller is connected to the code reader device for evaluating the identification code to identify the optical connection effected by the light waveguide connector cable.
