Identification elements (e.g., tracking elements, tracing elements, locating elements, etc.) (A,) are provided on various communication components () provided within a communication network such as a fiber optic network or a copper network. Fiber optic hubscan be identified and/or managed. Data centers () with patch panels () can also be identified and/or managed. Example passive identification elements include bar codes (e.g., 2d barcodes) and radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. In certain embodiments, RFID tags and the bar codes can include network information included therein. In certain embodiments, bar codes can be used to direct technicians to network links at which additional information stored elsewhere is provided. In certain embodiments, identification elements can be provided on communication components through an application downloaded to a mobile device by scanning the bar code. Such application on the mobile device can then be used to manage the network connections, change the network connections, or check the status of the network connections. Multiple mobile devices can be used and synchronized together with a central application, website or network. One example bar code useful for reading information from a network device and linking to a management application is a QR code ().

Component identification and tracking system for telecommunication networks

A hand tool for terminating and checking comprising a body which defines a means of storage of a connector to be terminated; an electrical checking module may be housed in the body, and is configured to electrically check the terminated connector when a connector pusher element is inserted in the terminated connector in the close or final position.

Termination and checking hand tool

An electrical connector for terminating a plurality of line wires of communications cable which comprises a dielectric housing; a terminal insert, a contact subassembly and a wire fixture, and a polarization circuit fully covered by the wire fixture it is in a closed or working position.

Electrical connector

The present invention provides an electrical blanking plug for a telecommunications socket or jack. The blanking plug having at least one electrical conductor positioned on the body of the plug, which conductor on insertion of the plug into a telecommunications jack or socket electrically connects one or more terminals on the jack to short circuit and/or ground one or more electrical telecommunication circuits terminated at the jack.
