Abstract:
A system for monitoring a signal on an optical fiber includes a fiber optic connector having a housing couplable to a receptacle. An optical fiber that transmits a first optical signal has first fiber core at least partially surrounded by a cladding and has a first end terminating proximate the housing. The first optical signal is transmitted along the first fiber core. An optical tap has a first tap waveguide arranged and is configured to receive at least part of the first optical signal as a first tap signal. The first tap waveguide comprises an output port for the first tap signal for directing the tap signal to a detector unit. In other embodiments, a detector unit detects light from the optical signal that is propagating along the fiber cladding. The system is intended to permit a technician to easily and quickly, without having to remove a connector, determine whether an optical signal is propagating along a fiber cable.

Claim (Index 4):
A system as recited in  claim 3 , wherein the detector unit further comprises an antenna for wirelessly receiving electromagnetic energy from an energy source external to the housing, the antenna being coupled to provide power to at least one of the detector and the indicator unit when receiving electromagnetic energy from the energy source.
