Abstract
A diagnostic module may include an inspection device, a cleaning device, and in various other examples, a verification device. The inspection device may inspect an optical fiber end-face of an optical fiber. The cleaning device may clean the optical fiber end-face of the optical fiber. The diagnostic module may automatically move from an optical connector to another optical connector.
Claims15
A system, comprising:
- an inspection device to inspect an optical fiber end-face within an optical connector;
- a cleaning device to clean the optical fiber end-face within the optical connector based on a result of the inspection;
- and
- a controller coupled to the inspection device and the cleaning device to selectively locate the optical connector and actuate both the inspection device to inspect the optical fiber end-face and the cleaning device to clean the optical fiber end-face.
1 more element
A method, comprising:
- determining a condition of a first optical fiber end-face within an optical connector via actuation of an inspection device from a first position to a second position;
- cleaning the first optical fiber end-face within the optical connector via actuation of a cleaning device from a first position to a second position in response to the determination.
A system, comprising:
- a rack to support a plurality of computing devices;
- a backplane within the rack to communicatively couple the plurality of computing devices;
- and
- a plurality of diagnostic modules coupled to the backplane within the rack, wherein the plurality of connector modules are to inspect, clean, and verify a plurality of optical connectors disposed on the backplane.
