Patch panel with sensing means

The sockets in a patch panel each have two contacts 1a, 1b, which are connected when a plug is inserted. A controller can therefore detect that a plug has been placed in the right socket. The socket may also have indicator means such as an LED to identify into which socket a plug should be patched. The contacts may be two parts of a metal shielding can which are bridged by the body of the plug. The patch cable may contain a tracer wire to ensure that the correct pair of sockets have been joined.

Rfid systems and methods for automatically detecting and/or directing the physical configuration of a complex system

A radio-frequency identification (RFID)-based configuration detection system for automatically detecting, directing, and/or configuring the physical configuration of a complex system constituted by a set of one or more types of mateable components. The RFID configuration detection system utilizes a set of mateable RFID tags arranged so that each mateable component includes at least one mateable RFID tag. Each RFID tag includes information about its associated component and is arranged so that when the components are mated, their associated RFID tags also are mated. The system uses at least one RFID reader to read RFID tag signals from the RFID tags. The RFID tag signals provide information about mating status of the component, as well as information about components themselves. An information processing system operably connected to the RFID reader receives and process information concerning the number and type of mated connections and thus the configuration. Changes to the configuration, such as mated connections being unmated, can be tracked to provide real-time configuration information.

System for monitoring the detachable joint of a cable path using radio frequency identifications

The invention relates to communication engineering. The use of the invention makes it possible to monitor the detachable joints of a cable path using radio frequency (RFID) identifications and does not require the antennas of a radio frequency reader for each port of a switchboard. For this purpose the following operations are carried out: a cable joint is provided with a connection sensor having a radio frequency (RFID) identification mark which is used for modifying the response signal received by the radio frequency reader when the joint is connected to the switchboard port; the switchboard ports are provided with a sensor for detecting the presence of the connecting cable joint in the switchboard port; the information from radio frequency identification marks of the connection sensors is periodically read by the radio frequency reader; the joint and/or connecting cable and the port of the switchboard, to which the joint is connected, are identified on the basis of the information about the modified response signal, which is received from the radio frequency mark and is transmitted to a software/hardware complex, and on the basis of the signal of the connection sensor about the presence of the joint in the switchboard port.
