Abstract
The invention refers to a patch cable for connecting a respiratory module () to a breathing adapter () being, e.g., part of a capnography system. The patch cable () comprises a) a module connector (), b) an adapter connector () comprising a light detector, c) a light guide, and d) an electric cable for directing an electric detection signal generated by the light detector from the adapter connector to the module connector. The adapter connector is configured such that an end of the light guide is positioned to provide the light into a gas cavity of the breathing adapter. The adapter connector is adapted such that the light detector detects light provided by the end of the light guide that has interacted with the gas provided in the gas cavity, when the adapter connector is connected to the breathing adapter. This, allows to improve the accuracy of respiratory gas detection.
