ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber connector can include an optical fiber interface, an identification circuit, and an electrical interface that is communicatively connected to the identification circuit. The identification circuit may be a non-volatile memory such as, for example, a read only memory, a magnetic random access memory and/or a flash-random access memory. The identification circuit may include a housing that can be releasably connected to a Light Guide Cross Connect (LGX). The identification circuit may generate an electrical signal that identifies a fiber, a fiber bundle, a fiber type, a connector type, who manufactured an optical fiber, when an optical fiber was manufactured, and/or when an optical fiber was installed.Related optical fiber distribution terminals are also discussed.
