An optical transmitter including an optical connector port, a first light emitter, and a second light emitter. The optical connector port is configured to connect to a connector of an optical cable in a first orientation or a second orientation. The first light emitter is configured to transmit a first optical signal for transmission through the optical cable. The first optical signal transmitted by the first light emitter is reflected by a region of the connector when the connector is attached in the first orientation. The second light emitter is configured to transmit a second optical signal for transmission through the optical cable. The second optical signal transmitted by the second light emitter is reflected by the region when the connector is connected in the second orientation different from the first orientation.
