Abstract

See full text

Methods of identifying an Ethernet cabling connection that extends between a first connector port and a second connector port are provided in which an RFID interrogation signal is transmitted from the first connector port to the second connector port over one or more of a plurality of differential pairs of the Ethernet cabling connection. A responsive RFID signal that is received from an RFID tag at the second connector port is then used to identify the patching connection. Related connectors, systems and coupling circuits are also provided.
