[0002] With the development of fiber optic communication, more and more fiber optic ports are being set up in computer rooms. Each fiber optic port needs to be identified and distinguished using electronic tags for digital management.
[0003] The existing digital management methods for fiber optic ports include the following:
[0004] 1. The multi-channel RFID tag reading mode can only detect that the tag exists within a certain range, and cannot achieve precise positioning at the port level.
[0005] 2. To achieve precise positioning at the port level, each port needs to be calibrated by loading an electronic tag, or an active modification is required by loading a reading circuit. This has problems such as high modification difficulty, low efficiency, high cost, and low subsequent installation and maintenance efficiency.
[0006] To address this issue, the applicant of this application proposes an efficient and intelligent digital jumper management method and tag reading device (CN117332793A). This method significantly reduces the number of RFID tags actually used while meeting construction verification requirements, improves operational efficiency, and facilitates the inclusion of all pallets in digital management, achieving full-network digital management. The method includes: uniquely identifying pallets using pallet RFID tags, each tag recording or linking information about all ports on the pallet; identifying each jumper using jumper RFID tags, each tag recording or linking information about the corresponding jumper; and reading the pallet RFID tags on the pallet and the jumper RFID tags inserted in the pallet to obtain the correspondence between the jumpers and the ports on the pallet.
[0007] This application is an improvement on the structure and installation method of the tray RFID tag (hereinafter referred to as the port group electronic tag) proposed in patent CN117332793A, so as to make it applicable to fiber optic trays or boxes with pre-set installation slots or partitions. Utility Model Content
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a plug-in port group electronic tag, wherein the port group can be in the form of a tray, a box, a insert, or a base strip.

The tag protective cover is used to fix the electronic tag in the electronic tag holder and protect the electronic tag.
[0011] Furthermore, the fiber optic tray or box is equipped with slots, and the electronic tag holder is directly inserted into the slots via an insert plate.
[0012] Furthermore, the main body of the electronic tag holder is rectangular, with a groove on the upper and lower sides of the rectangular base. The electronic tag and the tag protection cover are installed on the upper or lower side of the electronic tag holder; an insert plate is provided on the rear side of the rectangular base.
[0013] The above technical solution enables the port group electronic tag to meet the application of left-out or right-out fiber trays.
[0014] Furthermore, at least one side of the insert plate protrudes from the cuboid base, forming an insertion part.
[0015] Furthermore, the cuboid base and the insert plate are connected by a positioning boss, which is used for positioning during the identification operation of the electronic tag intelligent management terminal.
[0016] Furthermore, a baffle is provided on one side of the positioning boss to cover the installation gap.
[0017] Furthermore, the tray cover is provided with slots, and the electronic tag holder is directly inserted into the slots via an insert plate.
[0018] Furthermore, the main body of the electronic tag holder is rectangular, and a groove and an insert plate are provided on the upper side of the rectangular base. The insert plate is L-shaped.

[0036] The following embodiments all use an adapter tray with fiber optic cable exiting to the left as an example. It can be understood that the port group electronic tag of this application is also applicable to adapter trays, housings, inserts, and base strips with fiber optic cable exiting to the right. The port is a fiber optic connector port or a network port of a data cable, or it can be other electrical connection ports.
[0037] Example 1
[0038] See Figures 1-2 This embodiment provides a plug-in port group electronic tag, which is inserted into the rightmost slot of the horizontally arranged adapter disk 4.
[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, a set of adapters are mounted horizontally side by side on the adapter panel 4, and a plug label 2 is provided on the fiber optic active connector of each adapter; a port mounting slot 3 for installing a smart socket is provided on the far right side of the adapter panel 4. In this application, the port group electronic tag 1 is installed using the port mounting slot 3, that is, the port group electronic tag 1 of this application is inserted into the port mounting slot 3 on the right side of the adapter panel 4; in other embodiments, the port mounting slot 3 can also be provided on the far left side of the adapter panel 4.
[0040] The port group electronic tag 1 mainly consists of electronic tag holder 5, electronic tag 6 and tag protective cover 7.
[0041] See Figure 2 The electronic tag holder 5 is rectangular in shape. A groove 51 is provided on both the upper and lower sides of the rectangular base. Each groove 51 can hold an electronic tag 6, accommodating tray installation in both left and right fiber output directions. A plate 52 is provided on the rear side of the rectangular base, which engages with the port mounting slot 3.
[0042] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the fiber outlet direction of the tray is to the left. The electronic tag 6 and the tag protection cover 7 are installed on the upper side of the cuboid base. The angle A1 between the right side of the cuboid base and the surface of the insert plate 52 is greater than 90°, that is, the main body of the electronic tag holder 5 is tilted to the left, which is consistent with the fiber outlet direction of the tray.
[0043] In other embodiments, such as when the fiber outlet direction of the tray is to the right, the electronic tag 6 and the tag protective cover 7 can be installed on the lower side of the cuboid base. The electronic tag holder 5 is flipped so that the lower side of the cuboid base faces upward and the upper side faces downward, and the main body of the electronic tag holder 5 is tilted to the right, consistent with the fiber outlet direction of the tray.
[0044] In other embodiments, the main body of the electronic tag holder 5 may also be arranged perpendicularly to the surface of the insert plate 52, so that the port group electronic tag 1 can meet the application of the left fiber output tray or the right fiber output tray.
[0045] The electronic tag 6 is embedded in the groove 51, and it contains or is linked to information about all the ports on the adapter disk 4.
[0046] The label protection cover 7 is inserted into the groove 51 to protect the electronic tag 6 and prevent it from falling off. In this embodiment, the shape of the label protection cover 7 is consistent with the shape of the groove 51. The label protection cover 7 is inserted into the groove 51 as a whole, and its upper end face is flush with the upper side of the cuboid base and the upper side of the electronic tag 2, which is conducive to the reading of the tag reader.
[0047] Preferably, the tag protection cover 7 and the electronic tag holder 5 are made of plastic to prevent them from interfering with the reading accuracy of the tag reader.
[0048] Example 2
[0049] See Figures 3-5 This embodiment provides a plug-in port group electronic tag, which is inserted into the rightmost slot of a horizontally arranged adapter panel 41. A group of adapters is arranged horizontally on the adapter panel 41, and a plug tag 21 is provided on the fiber optic active connector of each adapter.
[0050] Generally, to simultaneously meet the needs of both left and right fiber output directions, the adapter panel 41 will have one spare adapter interface in applications with both left and right fiber outputs. This spare adapter interface is usually located on the far left or far right side of the panel, for example, in this embodiment, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the spare adapter interface located on the far right of the disk body serves as a port installation slot 31 for installing port group electronic tags 11.
[0051] See Figure 5 The port group electronic tag 11 in this embodiment differs from the port group electronic tag 1 in Embodiment 1 in that the rear side of the cuboid base of the electronic tag holder 5 is provided with a positioning boss 53 whose upper side is higher than the cuboid base. The positioning boss 53 is used for positioning during the identification operation of the electronic tag intelligent management terminal, making the identification operation more convenient and accurate. A plug plate 52 is provided on the rear side of the positioning boss 53, and the plug plate 52 is inserted into the port mounting slot 31.
[0052] An installation gap will be formed between the electronic tag holder 5 and the side of the tray. In this embodiment, a baffle 54 is also provided on the right side of the positioning boss 53. The baffle 54 is used to cover the installation gap and increase the overall aesthetics.
[0053] Example 3
[0054] This embodiment provides a plug-in port group electronic tag, which is inserted into a cover slot of an adapter panel. For convenient installation of the port group electronic tag 111 of this application, please refer to... Figures 6-7 A cover plate slot 411 extending along the height direction of the cover plate is pre-made on one side of the disk cover plate 411 for inserting the port group electronic tag 111 of this application.
[0055] See Figure 8 The port group electronic tag 111 in this embodiment differs from the port group electronic tag 1 in Embodiment 1 in that the upper side of the cuboid base of the electronic tag holder 5 is provided with a groove 51 and an insert plate 52. The width of the insert plate 52 is the same as the width of the cuboid base, that is, the left and right end faces of the insert plate are flush with the left and right end faces of the cuboid base, respectively. The insert plate 52 is L-shaped. One side of the L-shaped insert plate 52 that connects to the cuboid base extends along the horizontal plane to form a connecting part; the other side of the L-shaped insert plate 52 extends upward along the plumb plane to form an insertion part. In the installed state, the upper side of the cuboid base is a horizontal plane. The insertion part of the insert plate 52 is inserted into the cover plate slot 411.
[0056] Example 4
[0057] This embodiment provides a plug-in port group electronic tag, which is inserted into a partition of the adapter panel. (See also...)
