Patent ID: 8184970

Claim:
An analyzer device for transmitting data to and receiving data from a transceiver module that communicates over a network, the analyzer device comprising: a processor; a user interface communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the user interface is configured to translate user input into electrical signals capable of being read by the processor; a visual display communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the visual display is configured to display data received from the transceiver module; a cable comprising: a first end communicatively coupled to the processor; a second end opposite the first end; and a clip connector coupled to the second end of the cable, the clip connector comprising: an analyzer transmit port configured to align with a diagnostic receive port of the transceiver module to transfer data from the analyzer to the transceiver module; and an analyzer receive port configured to align with a diagnostic transmit port of the transceiver module to transfer data from the transceiver module to the analyzer; wherein the clip connector is configured to fit over a face of the transceiver module without removing optical fibers that extend from the face of the transceiver module.
