Abstract
A line connector for transmitting electrical signals includes a housing, a first electric connection configured to transmit a first electrical signal, a second electrical connection configured to transmit a second electrical signal, and a diagnostic device. The diagnostic device is configured to monitor the first electrical signal and detect a first status of the first electric connection, and to monitor the second electrical signal and detect a second status of the second electrical connection. The housing has a housing wall with a first optical indicator and a second optical indicator. The first optical indicator is configured to generate a first optical signal representing the first status, and the second optical indicator is configured to generate a second optical signal representing the second status.
