Radio frequency identification of a connector by a patch panel or other similar structure

摘要

The device includes a connector, a transponder, a panel, an antenna, and a transceiver. The transponder is attached to the connector. The antenna is positioned adjacent to the panel. The transceiver is electrically connected to the antenna. When the transponder is placed close enough to the antenna, the transceiver is able to activate the transponder thus enabling the transponder to read the information deposited with the transponder.
