Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for identifying characteristics of communication cable are described. For example, a connector of a communication cable may include a set of pins. When the connector is plugged into an active device such as a transceiver, a pattern of the set of pins may be determined. This pattern may be associated with a characteristic of the communication cable (e.g., manufacture, manufacturing date, etc.).

Abstract: An apparatus can include an optical transceiver having a body with a first end at which a circuitry interface is located to facilitate transfer of data between a network appliance and the optical transceiver. The apparatus further includes a four-cable interface at a second end of the body. The four-cable interface releasably receives four independently releasable connectors for transfer of optical signals between the optical transceiver and respective ferrules of the four independently releasable connectors. In some examples, a carrier may be provided that is releasably connected with the four-cable interface and that includes four sockets for respectively independently receiving the four independently receivable connectors so as to facilitate collective insertion and removal of the four independently releasable connectors relative to the four-cable interface.
