A fiber channel verification system provides a fiber optic network design platform that allows a user to create a graphical mock-up of a fiber optic network design, and performs fault analytics on the proposed design to identify potential faults or problems with the design. The verification system can guide the user through the process of specifying network components such as trunk cables, patch cables, fiber optic cassettes, connectors, or other such components suitable for a given networking application. The verification also allows the user to define connections between the selected components. During development or after the design is complete, the verification system can analyze each channel of network design and identify improper fiber connections, network component incompatibilities, incorrect polarities, excessive insertion or return losses, or other such problems. The verification system can also provide recommendations for eliminating discovered problems where appropriate.

A fiber optic connector assembly incorporates features that improve structural rigidity and the integrity of transmitted signals. These features also facilitate a technique for reversing polarity of the connector assembly with little or no risk of twisting the optical fibers and without requiring the housing assembly to be disassembled. The connector is marked or embossed with transmit and receive connector labels that facilitate visual identification of the polarity of the connector. One side of the duplex connector can be marked with 'A' and 'B' labels corresponding to the receive and transmit connectors, respectively. The opposite side of the duplex connector can be marked with two &#x201c;A&#x201d; labels corresponding to the receive and transmit connectors, respectively. Thus, a user can readily identify whether the connector is configured for &#x201c;A-B&#x201d; polarity or &#x201c;A-A&#x201d; polarity.

Polarity identification for polarity reversing duplex unibody connectors

A pre-terminated fiber optic connector is provided for coupling electronic components and devices. A multi-fiber optical cable assembly or multi-fiber interconnection module can facilitate optical coupling while maximizing available optical path bandwidth inherent to standard connectors. In an embodiment, a '2&#xd7;24/24 to 2&#xd7;20/24+1&#xd7;8/12' configuration can be employed.

Efficient fiber usage within pre-terminated fiber devices

A probe tip for use with an inductive amplifier unit having an inductive generator circuit connected to an indicator, such as an acoustic transducer. The tip includes a substantially non-conducting inductive member having a distal end insertable into an opening of a communication jack housing contacts and having a keyway portion. The tip includes a conductive member having a first end portion at least partially encased inside the distal end of the inductive member and a second end portion extending outwardly away therefrom. The distal end has a key portion configured to be received inside the keyway portion of the jack. Engagement between the key member and the keyway member prevents lateral movement of the distal end across the contacts inside the opening. The second end portion is connectable to the circuit, which is configured to use the indicator to indicate to a user when the tip detects a signal.
