Abstract:
A latch indicator apparatus for indicating a locked status of an attachment between a cable housing and a cable receptor. The latch indicator apparatus includes a latch indicator attached to a cable housing at an attachment point, a first resistive element having a first resistance, and is attached to the cable housing at the attachment point. The restive element of the latch indicator attaches to an indicator tab. The latch indicator includes an indicator window, which is positioned to indicate a locked status of the latch indicator based on the first resistance of the first resistive element. The latch indicator tests a connection between a cable housing and a cable housing by indicating a locked status. The locked status is indicated by exerting a first force on the indicator tab by pulling the indicator tab in a direction away from the connection between the cable housing and the cable receptor.

Claim (Index 7):
A method for testing a latch indicator, the method comprising:\n attaching a latch indicator to a cable housing of a cable at an attachment point, wherein the latch indicator is removably attached to the cable housing, and:\n includes a first resistive element having a first resistance, an indicator tab attached to the resistive element, and an indicator window, \n connects to the cable housing to a cable receptor at a connection point, and \n determines that the cable housing is connected to a cable receptor; \n inserting the cable housing into the cable receptor at the connection point; and testing the latch indicator by:\n receiving an exerted first force on the indicator tab, wherein the exerted first force includes a pulling of the indicator tab, wherein the first force overcomes a threshold of the first resistance of the first resistive element to indicate a locked status of the cable housing and cable receptor with the indicator window; and \n confirming, in response to testing, that the cable housing is connected to the cable receptor.
