ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for use with a cable for interconnecting electronic devices is described. The apparatus includes an indicator for identifying a characteristic of the cable, and includes a mechanism operable to cause the indicator to identify the characteristic of the cable. The indicator can be for example an LED and can be used to identify the location of an end of the cable. The mechanism can be a pushbutton located at the other end of the cable. The LED is illuminated when the pushbutton is activated. A signal generator is responsive to the pushbutton and provides a signal to the LED to cause the LED to illuminate. The signal generator can be implemented with a DMTF encoder.
