Claims8
A fiber optic cable comprising:
- a fiber;
- a power source;
- a first fiber optic connector coupled to a first end of the fiber optic cable, the first fiber optic connector configured to be in communication with a tester device to receive a trigger signal from the tester device;
- a second fiber optic connector coupled to a second end of the fiber optic cable;
- a receiver configured to receive the trigger signal and convert the trigger signal into a digital signal;
- a serial number (SN) pattern generator coupled to the power source;
- a switch in communication with the receiver, the SN pattern generator, and the power source, wherein the switch is configured to establish a connection between the power source and the SN pattern generator based on receiving the digital signal;
- and
- a visual indicator configured to be activated to emit a light by a power signal from the SN pattern generator.
