Abstract
The invention concerns a device for accurately locating ends of cords, wires cables or conduits, in particular in the fields of electricity, electronics, telephone and computer. It consists in providing, in or on each cord, (6), wire, cable or conduit, at least an optical fibre (10) extending from one end (7) to the other (8) of the cord (6) or the like. On first end (11) of the optical fibre (10) is accessible at the corresponding end (7) of the cord (6) so as to be illuminated (F) by light injecting means. The second end (12) of the optical fibre (10) is accessible at the other end (8) of the same cord (6), so as to restore (D) the light injected at the first end (7). Said device is useful for locating computer switching cords.
Claims8
A device for visual identification of cable assemblies or conduits, for locating the ends of leads, wires, cables or conduits, characterized in that it consists in providing, in or on each lead, wire, cable or conduit (6) in question, at least one optical fiber (10) extending from one end (7) of said lead, wire, cable or conduit (6) to the other end (8), a first end (11) of the or each optical fiber (10) being accessible at the corresponding end (7) of the lead, wire, cable or conduit (6), so as to be able to be illuminated by a light injection means (13), and the second end (12) of this optical fiber (10) being accessible at the other end (8) of the same lead, wire, cable or conduit (6) so as to be able to recover the light injected at the first end (7).
