Abstract:
A cable assembly includes a cable bundle extending between first and second cable ends. A first electrical connector is terminated to the first cable end and has first contacts defining a first mating interface. A second electrical connector is terminated to the second cable end and has second contacts defining a second mating interface. A flexible light pipe extends along the length of the cable bundle. The flexible light pipe has a first light pipe interface at a first end of the flexible light pipe and a second light pipe interface at a second end of the flexible light pipe. The first light pipe interface is at or beyond the first cable end for interfacing with a component associated with a first mating connector and the second light pipe interface is at or beyond the second cable end for interfacing with a component associated with a second mating connector.
