Traceable fiber optic cable assembly with illumination structure and tracing optical fibers for carrying light received from a light launch device

A cable tracing system, comprising:

• a traceable fiber optic cable assembly, comprising:
• a traceable fiber optic cable, comprising:
• at least one data transmission element for communication of an optical data signal;
• a first tracing optical fiber comprising a first launch end and a first emission end;
• and
• a second tracing optical fiber comprising a second launch end and a second emission end;
• a first fiber optic connector at a first end of the traceable fiber optic cable, the first fiber optic connector comprising a first housing defining a first interior and comprising a first launch opening;
• a translucent first internal illumination structure positioned within the first interior of the first housing;
• a second fiber optic connector at a second end of the traceable fiber optic cable, the second fiber optic connector comprising a second housing defining a second interior and comprising a second launch opening;
• and
• a translucent second internal illumination structure positioned within the second interior of the second housing;
• wherein the first launch end of the first tracing optical fiber is positioned within the first launch opening of the first housing of the first fiber optic connector and the first emission end of the first tracing optical fiber is positioned within the second housing of the second fiber optic connector;
• wherein the second launch end of the second tracing optical fiber is positioned within the second launch opening of the second housing of the second fiber optic connector and the second emission end of the second tracing optical fiber is positioned within the first housing of the first fiber optic connector;
• wherein the first launch end is accessible from an exterior of the first housing for receiving a first optical tracing signal from a launch optical fiber for direction of the first optical tracing signal to the first emission end of the first tracing optical fiber;
• wherein the second launch end is accessible from an exterior of the second housing for receiving a second optical tracing signal from the launch optical fiber for direction of the second optical tracing signal to the second emission end of the second tracing optical fiber;
• wherein the translucent first internal illumination structure is configured to redirect at least a primary portion of the second optical tracing signal when emitted from the second emission end;
• and
• wherein the translucent second internal illumination structure is configured to redirect at least a primary portion of the first optical tracing signal when emitted from the first emission end.
