A connector device includes a connector. An electrical lead wire is positioned in the connector. The electrical lead wire is configured to provide communication between the connector device and an external device. In certain embodiments, the electrical lead wire includes a contact point on a surface of the connector for electrically coupling the connector device to the external device. In addition to or as an alternative to the electrical lead wire, the connector device may include an optical coupling or channel in the connector configured for optical light transmission between the connector device and the external device.
