Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a light launch device with improved usability and performance. In particular, the light launch device includes an internally housed launch cable and emission connector, a removable faceplate, alternating laser emission, and/or optimized pulse emission. The internally housed launch cable and emission connector facilitate portability and ease of use by consolidating the various components of the light launch device. The removable faceplate is positioned over the bulkhead connected to the input connector of a launch cable assembly to prevent access to the connection during normal use but selectively allowing access for maintenance or launch cable assembly replacement. The alternating laser emissions and/or optimized pulse emission decreases power consumption and/or maintains or improves cable tracing effectiveness.

Claim (Index 19):
A light launch device for a traceable fiber optic cable assembly, comprising:\n a housing; at least one light source within the housing for generating a first optical tracing signal and a second optical tracing signal; and a launch cable assembly comprising:\n an input connector configured to receive the first and second optical tracing signals from the at least one light source; \n an emission connector configured to engage a traceable fiber optic cable assembly; \n a first launch optical fiber comprising a first input end and a first emission end, the first input end in communication with the at least one light source to receive the first optical tracing signal and the first emission end located in the emission connector; and \n a second launch optical fiber comprising a second input end and a second emission end, the second input end in communication with the at least one light source to receive the second optical tracing signal and the second emission end located in the emission connector; \n wherein the at least one light source is configured to alternate emission of the first optical tracing signal and the second optical tracing signal.
