AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In some cases, the process of finding the exact port on the exact host device can be time consuming if the host device or the communication module issues an alarm indicating a failure
Also, cables are often kept in large bundles of similarly colored cables, which can make it difficult for people to follow the cables from one end to the other

Embodiment Construction

[0023] Exemplary embodiments relate to communication devices that include illuminable visual indicators and / or sensors for detecting physical input by a user on the communication device. The communication device can include a communication module having an illumination source and a body part. The body part may allow light generated by the illumination source to propagate within the body part, thereby illuminating the exterior surface of the body part.

[0024] Alternatively or additionally, the communication module may comprise a sensor configured to detect a user's physical input on the communication module. In response to the physical input, the communications module can cause the communications module to perform operations. For example, upon detection of a physical input, the communication module may cause the illumination source of the connected communication module to turn on. As an example, upon detection of a physical input, the communication module may send a signal ...

Abstract

Disclosed is a communication device. In an example embodiment, a communication device may include a communication module that includes an illumination source and a body component. The body component may be configured to allow light generated by the illumination source to propagate within it and illuminate at least a portion of the exterior surface of the body component.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments herein relate primarily to communication devices. Exemplary embodiments relate to illuminable visual indicators for communication devices that may be used in data center port management, digital diagnostics, and other similar applications. Other embodiments relate to communication devices that include sensors configured to detect physical inputs on the communication device. Background technique [0002] Data centers play an integral role in many computing services. A data center can contain thousands of host devices such as main computers, switching hubs, network routers, or distribution boxes. Communication modules such as electronic or optoelectronic transceiver or repeater modules may be connected to these host devices. Some host devices include multiple cages, and thus can house multiple communication modules at the same time. Many communication modules are pluggable, thereby allowing the modules to be inserted and removed from ...
