Abstract
A traceable transmission conduit assembly includes an optically transmissive jacket over a transmission conduit. The conduit, which may be an optical fiber, includes a light transmissive and translucent jacket thereover. Light is injected into the jacket at one location therealong. The light is emitted along the length of the jacket so that the jacket illuminates. One conduit bundled among a group of similar conduits may be traced by so illuminating the jacket of the one conduit.
