Patent ID: 7948226

Claim:
A system for traceably connecting two optical fiber positions in one or more fiber termination banks, the system comprising: an optical fiber jumper including an elongate optical fiber, a coating for protecting the optical fiber along its length, first and second optical fiber connectors at first and second ends of the optical fiber, respectively, for connecting the optical fiber into the one or more fiber termination banks; and an electrical conductor extending lengthwise with the optical fiber, the electrical conductor having at least one connecting terminal portion; a locating tone generator having a connector for connecting to the connecting terminal portion of the electrical conductor and for impressing on the electrical conductor a locating tone that causes the conductor to radiate an electromagnetic field about the jumper; and a locating tone detector for emitting a presence-indicating signal when at least a portion of the detector is within the electromagnetic field; wherein the at least one connecting terminal portion is integrated with an optical fiber connector.
