An optical fiber connector can include an optical fiber interface, an
identification circuit, and an electrical interface that is
communicatively connected to the identification circuit. The
identification circuit may be a non-volatile memory such as, for example,
a read only memory, a magnetic random access memory and/or a flash-random
access memory. The identification circuit may include a housing that can
be releasably connected to a Light Guide Cross Connect (LGX). The
identification circuit may generate an electrical signal that identifies
a fiber, a fiber bundle, a fiber type, a connector type, who manufactured
an optical fiber, when an optical fiber was manufactured, and/or when an
optical fiber was installed.Related optical fiber distribution terminals
are also discussed.
