Abstract
A connector terminating an end of an electrical cable includes an outer surface, and a radio frequency (RF) sensor tag is secured to the connector outer surface and includes a temperature sensor and an antenna. In response to the RF sensor tag receiving an interrogation signal from a remote RF reader, the temperature sensor is configured to detect a temperature of the connector and generate a temperature data signal, and the antenna is configured to transmit the temperature data signal to the remote RF reader.
