Abstract

One embodiment is directed to an apparatus comprising one or more front connectors, wherein each front connector comprises a respective interface configured to read a storage device associated with a connector that is adapted to be connected to the front connector. The apparatus further comprises one or more rear connection points and one or more switches. The apparatus is configured to automatically configure the apparatus at least in part based on information read from the storage device.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 611,916, filed March 16, 2012, which is incorporated herein by reference. Background technique [0003] In some applications it is desirable to ensure that only certain cables are plugged into certain jacks in a wall plate or similar device. One way of doing this is to use physical "keyed" plugs and jacks that are designed to work with each other. That is, only a keyed plug specifically designed for use with a keyed jack can be inserted into a keyed jack and used to successfully establish a connection. This physical keying technology can be used with a variety of cables including, for example, copper cables (e.g., Ethernet cables terminated with keyed RJ-45 jacks) and fiber optic cables (e.g., terminated with keyed LC and MTP connectors). [0004] However, some applications may require an additional layer of security beyond what the...
