Abstract:
A fiber port management system that can be connected between network devices and network appliances is provided. The fiber port management system includes a housing, one or more hydra cables within the housing, one or more indicators and a controller. The housing has a front panel with a plurality of low density fiber connectors and a rear panel with a plurality of high density fiber connectors. The hydra cable is positioned within the housing and connects one of the plurality of high density fiber connectors to two or more of the plurality of low density fiber connectors. The one or more indicators are associated with each of the plurality of low density fiber connectors and each of the plurality of high density fiber connectors. The controller is located within the housing and is used to control the operation of the indicators.

Claim (Index 25):
A networking system comprising:\n at least two network appliances, each network appliance having one or more fiber connectors; an external network management system; and a fiber port management system comprising:\n a housing having a plurality of fiber connectors forming a first group, and a plurality of fiber connectors forming a second group, wherein at least one of the plurality of fiber connectors forming the first group is in communication with a first of the at least two network appliances, wherein at least one of the plurality of fiber connectors forming the first group is in communication with a second of the at least two network appliances, and wherein the second group of fiber connectors are arranged as paired connectors; \n at least one hydra cable within the housing and connecting one of the plurality of fiber connectors forming the first group to at least one of the paired connectors; \n at least one indicator associated with each of the plurality of fiber connectors forming the first group; \n at least one indicator associated with each of the paired connectors; and \n a controller within the housing and in communication with the external network management system, wherein the external network management system transmits to the controller predefined information associated with the one or more fiber connectors of the at least two network devices, and wherein the controller controls the operation of the at least one indicator associated with each of the plurality of fiber connectors forming the first group and the at least one indicator associated with each of the paired connectors based upon the predefined information.
