Systems and methods for detecting component rotation within a communication assembly

摘要

Systems and methods for detecting component rotation within a communication assembly are provided. In certain embodiments, a system includes a module; an adapter block that includes multiple front ports and multiple rear ports configured to receive an optical connector; a managing entity configured to control port identification for the front and rear ports; and a circuit board mounted to the adapter block, wherein the circuit board comprises multiple front contact assemblies and multiple rear contact assemblies, wherein each front port is associated with a front contact assembly and each rear port is associated with a rear contact assembly, wherein when a rear contact assembly is electrically coupled to a connector, the connector generates an event that is sent to the managing entity, whereupon the managing entity remaps the port identification for the front and rear ports.
