A group wiring device which has built-in light emitting means and switch mechanism coupled with wire pair receptacle thereof. The switch mechanism is normally on a 'CLOSE' status but can be switched to an 'OPEN' status when a plug mates with the wire pair receptacle. When the switch mechanism is &#x201c;CLOSE&#x201d; and a testing voltage is applied to the circuit of the light emitting means, the light emitting means will emit light for assisting wire pair identification. After the process of wire pair identification is complete, the group wiring device is deemed to be in normal operation, that is, to perform ordinary signal transmitting functions. The wire pair receptacle will then be mated with plug of network cable so as to drive the switch mechanism to become &#x201c;OPEN&#x201d;. Therefore, the circuit of light emitting means becomes an open circuit and provides no function at all. As a result, the built-in light emitting means and switch mechanism of the present invention will not result in &#x201c;loop back shorting&#x201d; nor disrupt the communication at all.

Group wiring device for facilitating wire pair identification

A kit for identifying fiber optic connections in a fiber optic cabling system comprises a plurality of indication optic terminators and at least one test light generator. The fiber optic system comprises a patching device, a plurality of ports furnished on the patching device, a plurality of outlets remote from the patching device, and a plurality of fiber optic cables for optically connecting the ports and the outlets. Plurality of indication optic terminators are attached onto each of the ports of the patching device. By using the test light generator to apply a test light to one of the outlets, the test light reaches a corresponding connected port of the patching device through the connection of fiber optic cable so as to make the corresponding indication optic terminator attached onto that connected port to light. Therefore, by repeating the process of distinguishing the light of the indication optic terminator one by one, all of the fiber optic connections between the connected ports and outlets can be identified. After completing the job of fiber optic connection identification, all of the indication optic terminators can be detached and kept for re-use.

Fiber optic cable identification kit and its method

A portable computer includes: a main body having keyboard formed thereon, a cover pivotally secured to the main body and operatively covering the main body, a liquid crystal display panel formed on the cover, a backlight cartridge having a backlight and a light diffusion plate normally positioned under the liquid crystal display panel for illuminating the liquid crystal display (LCD) panel for normally displaying the image on the LCD panel, a bottom projection cartridge alternatively substituting the backlight cartridge and positioned under the LCD panel when adapted for overhead projection purpose, a supporting device pivotally secured and normally folded on the cover (or on the main body) and operatively telescopically extended from the cover (or from the main body) to be uprightly erected on the cover (or the main body), and an overhead projection cartridge detachably mounted on the supporting device for projecting light towards the bottom projection cartridge, through which the light is then reflected and magnified upwardly through the LCD panel for projecting the image of the LCD panel upwardly to be magnified and reflected towards a screen through the overhead projection cartridge, thereby providing a compact combination of a portable computer with an overhead projection device for convenient handling and uses.
