Abstract: Components having one or more sensors adapted to provide sensor data relating to a condition(s) of the component are disclosed. The component is adapted to communicate with another mating component to associate sensor data with identity information of the mating component. The sensor and identity information can be communicated remotely including via radio-frequency communications employing RF identification devices (RFIDs). Location of the mating component can be determined using the identity information of the mating component. In this manner, the sensor data can be associated with the location of the mating component using the identity information in a "component-to-component" configuration to provide location-specific sensor data. Having the ability to localize sensor data to a specific location can assist in pinpointing areas where performance or other condition issues may exist in a component, a mating component, an article of manufacture associated with the components, and/or communication and/or transmissions lines coupled between components.

Abstract: A two-fiber ring architecture capable of carrying multiple wavelength channels and allowing client self-healing of single point failures. The ring architecture includes a two-fiber optical ring carrying at least one wavelength channel, wherein the wavelength channel has working traffic and protection traffic. The optical ring can include a single ring, two interconnected rings, or multiple interconnected rings. Specifically, the ring architecture includes a first client networking element connected to the optical ring by a first pair of 2x2 add drop matrices and a second client networking element connected to the optical ring by a second pair of 2x2 add drop matrices. At least one interconnect node is also provided when more than one ring is used, wherein the interconnect node has a first 2x2 interconnect matrix and a second 2x2 interconnect matrix. The first 2x2 interconnect matrix routes the working traffic from the first client networking element to the second client networking element. Similarly, the second 2x2 interconnect matrix routes the protection traffic from the second client networking element to the first client networking element. The optical ring includes a first access ring, an inter-office (IOF) ring, and a second access ring. Access rings are connected to the IOF ring by the aforementioned interconnect nodes.

Abstract: There are provided connectors, cables, cable assemblies, network componen ts, and systems wherein optically addressed RFID functionality is incorporat ed. Also provided are optically addressed RFID elements in general. The RFID elements utilize an optical tap to direct a portion of the optical signal t raveling through an optical fiber to a transducer. The transducer creates an electrical signal which may be used to write information to an integrated c ircuit of, transmit an RF signal to, and/or provide power to the RFID elemen t.
