1. A system, comprising:
- a signaling connector that includes one or more wires that are each configured to transmit signaling between a first component and a second component that are included in an information handling system;
a light-pipe provided with the signaling connector, wherein the light-pipe is configured to convey light from one end of the signaling connector to another end of signaling connector; and
a termination cap that is configured to couple the signaling connector with the first component that is included in the information handling system, wherein the light-pipe is positioned on the termination cap such that, when the termination cap is coupled with the first component that is included in the information handling system, the light-pipe is located adjacent a light source on the first component that is included in the information handling system in order to allow light from the light source to be conveyed through the light-pipe.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, a system includes a signaling connector comprising one or more wires. Each wire is capable of transmitting signaling between first and second components of an information handling system. A light-pipe is provided with the signaling connector. The light-pipe is capable of conveying light from one end of the signaling connector to another end of signaling connector so that the signaling connector can be traced.
