Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a traceable fiber optic cable assembly with indication of polarity. In particular, the traceable fiber optic cable assembly includes a traceable fiber optic cable, a first duplex connector at a first end of the fiber optic cable, and a second duplex connector at a second end of the fiber optic cable. A first tracing end of the tracing optical fiber is in a preconfigured orientation in the first duplex connector offset from a central axis of the first duplex connector, and a second tracing end of the tracing optical fiber is in a preconfigured orientation in the second duplex connector offset from a central axis of the second duplex connector. The tracing optical fiber receives an optical tracing signal for propagation to the second tracing end of the first tracing optical fiber to indicate a first orientation of the first duplex connector corresponding to a first polarity state of the traceable fiber optic cable assembly.

Claim (Index 1):
A traceable fiber optic cable assembly, comprising:\n a traceable fiber optic cable comprising:\n a first data transmission element comprising a first data end and a second data end; \n a second data transmission element comprising a first data end and a second data end; and \n a tracing optical fiber comprising a first tracing end and a second tracing end; \n a first duplex connector at a first end of the traceable fiber optic cable, the first duplex connector comprising a first housing defining a first interior, a first transmit simplex connector at least partially within the first interior of the first housing and comprising the first data end of the first data transmission element, and a first receive simplex connector at least partially within the first interior of the first housing and comprising the first data end of the second data transmission element, the first housing defining a first tracing opening, the first tracing opening in a preconfigured orientation relative to the first transmit simplex connector; and a second duplex connector at a second end of the traceable fiber optic cable, the second duplex connector comprising a second housing defining a second interior, a second transmit simplex connector at least partially within the second interior of the second housing and comprising the second data end of the first data transmission element, and a second receive simplex connector at least partially within the second interior of the second housing and comprising the second data end of the second data transmission element; wherein the first tracing end of the tracing optical fiber is within the first tracing opening of the first housing of the first duplex connector and the second tracing end of the tracing optical fiber is within the second housing of the second duplex connector; wherein the first tracing end is accessible from an exterior of the first housing for propagating an optical tracing signal to the second tracing end of the tracing optical fiber for determining an orientation of the first duplex connector corresponding to a first polarity state of the traceable fiber optic cable assembly.
