    摘要: An optical cable misplug error detection and remediation process is provided which includes detecting, by at least one processor, an optical cable misplug error in a connection path between optical transceivers of a computing network, where the connection path includes one or more optical cables. The detecting includes evaluating operation of an optical transceiver of the connection path. The evaluating includes determining whether a receive lane of the optical transceiver is receiving a signal during evaluating operation of the optical transceiver, and detecting the optical cable misplug error where the receive lane of the optical transceiver is not receiving the signal. The process further includes identifying, by the at least one processor based on detecting the optical cable misplug error, a location of a misplugged optical cable in the connection path between the optical transceiver of the computing network.

    摘要: A fiber-optic switching system is provided which includes an optical fiber switch having first and second optical fiber portions and an electrically-controlled actuator. The first and second optical fiber portions are spaced apart with a gap between the portions that is sized to allow for light signal coupling between the optical fiber portions in a signal-passing state of the switch. The electrically-controlled actuator is coupled to transition the switch between the signal-passing state, where the light signal is allowed to pass between the optical fiber portions, and a signal-non-passing state, where the light signal is prevented from passing between the optical fiber portions. The electrically-controlled actuator includes an electroactive material exhibiting a physical change with change in an applied electrical field, where the physical change facilitates transitioning the optical fiber switch between the signal-passing and the signal-non-passing states.

    摘要: An optical cable mismatch error detection and remediation process is provided which includes detecting, by at least one processor, an optical cable mismatch error in a connection path between optical transceivers of a computing network, where the connection path includes one or more optical cables. The detecting includes evaluating operation of an optical transceiver of the connection path. The evaluating includes determining that data on one or more optical lanes of the optical transceiver is lane-mismatched data. The process further includes restructuring one or more lane assignments of the optical transceiver, based on determining that the data on the one or more optical lanes of the optical transceiver is lane-mismatched data, where the restructuring addresses the detected optical cable mismatch error.
