Abstract

The device includes a fiber optic cable, a transponder, a media converter, an antenna, and a transceiver. The transponder is attached to the fiber optic cable. The media converter is mountable to a bulkhead. The antenna is attached to the media converter. The transceiver is electrically connected to the antenna so as to form a reader which is capable of activating and interrogating the transponder when the transponder is sufficiently close to the antenna.
