Abstract:
A patch cable and system for interconnecting a pair of terminals, each of the terminals comprising a terminal RFID transponder comprising a unique ID, and for use with a cradle comprising a cradle RFID antenna. The patch cable comprises a pair of connectors, one of the connectors at each end of and interconnected by a guided transmission medium, a connector RFID antenna associated with each of the pair of connectors, a cable RFID transponder positioned along the patch cable between the connectors for communicating with the cradle RFID antenna. When the cable RFID transponder is brought into proximity with the cradle RFID antenna, RF signals emitted by the cradle RFID antenna provide power to and communications with the cable RFID transponder for powering the connector RFID antennas and retrieving the unique IDs of the pair of terminals and communicating the unique IDs to the cradle.

Claim (Index 8):
A method for validating a connection between a pair of terminals comprising:\n connecting the terminals with a patch cable, said patch cable comprising a pair of connectors interconnected by a guided transmission medium and a connector RFID antenna associated with each of said pair of connectors, each of the terminals comprising an RFID transponder and a unique RFID wherein one of each of said terminals and each of said connectors comprise a collocated LED; emitting an RF-signal from each of said RFID antennas; receiving said unique RFIDs in response to said emitted RF-signals; comparing said received unique RFIDs to a plurality of RFID pairs stored in a database; and at least one of illuminating said LED to indicate an invalid connection when said received unique RFIDs fail to match one of said stored ID pairs and illuminating said LED to indicate a valid connection when said received unique RFIDs match one of said stored ID pairs.
