Abstract

Described is a system which includes: a cable including: a first fiber optic interconnect to provide an input light; and a second fiber optic interconnect to provide an output light; and a first housing coupled to the cable, the first housing including: a first deflection circuit to deflect the input light received from the first fiber optic interconnect in response to a vibration or movement of the first housing; and a second housing coupled to the cable, the second housing including: a light source to generate the input light for transmission to the first deflection circuit via the first fiber optic interconnect; and a photo detector to receive the output light from the first deflection circuit via the second fiber optic interconnect.

Claims

1. An apparatus comprising:

an interface for receiving a first fiber optic interconnect and a second fiber optic interconnect; and

a deflection module, coupled to the interface, the deflection module to deflect an input light received from the first fiber optic interconnect in response to a vibration or movement of the apparatus, and to provide the deflected input light as an output light to the second fiber optic interconnect.
