An illuminated connector for a device output may be used as a status indicator, showing various states of the output, including output on, proper functioning, and improper functioning. The illumination may be provided through a face of the physical connector, around a periphery of the connector, or proximate to the connector. Various colors and sequence of illuminations may communicate various states. The illuminator may be used to indicate the status of a wireless version of the same type of output of the connector.
