Status sensing and reporting interface

摘要

A status sensing and reporting interface is provided. The interface includes one of an interface port or an adapter. Each of the interface port and adapter include: a body; a coupling circuit positioned within the body and configured to sense an electrical signal flowing through the status sensing interface; and an electrical parameter sensing circuit positioned within the body and configured to sense a parameter of the electrical signal flowing through the status sensing interface and a physical condition of the connection between the status sensing interface and a connector to which the status sensing interface is operatively coupled.
