CONNECTION TRAYS WITH MANAGED CONNECTIVITY

摘要

A connection tray system has managed connectivity functionality provided by memory storage units associated with optical connectors and memory readers disposed on a connection tray. Two plug connectors can be optically coupled together at an optical adapter disposed at a connection tray. The memory storage units can be retro-fit to the optical connectors (or the optical adapter). An optical adapter can be transferred from a non-managed connection tray, which does not have memory readers, to a managed connection tray, which has memory readers, without decoupling the optical connectors received thereat.
