1. A passive RFID transponder assembly associated with at least one communications component, the RFID transponder assembly comprising:

  • an integrated circuit chip;

    an antenna adapted for electrical connection with the integrated circuit chip; and

    at least one selective physical contact condition responsive device electrically connected to the integrated circuit chip, wherein the integrated circuit chip is adapted to read a selective physical contact condition relating to the at least one communications component detected by the at least one selective physical contact condition responsive device;

    wherein the passive RFID transponder assembly is configured to communicate a radio-frequency (RF) signal including the selective physical contact condition relating to the at least one communications component to an RFID reader whenever the selective physical contact condition is requested by the RFID reader and regardless of the selective physical contact condition detected by the at least one condition responsive device.
