Coaxial cable connector parameter monitoring system
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring a coaxial cable connector physical parameter, the system comprising:
- a coaxial cable connector, the connector having an internal physical parameter sensing circuit configured to sense a physical parameter of the connector, the connector further having a status output component;
a data reader, located externally to the connector, the reader comprising a receiver element, a memory unit, a transmitter element, and a decision logic unit, the receiver element for receiving information about the connector, via the status output component, from the physical parameter sensing circuit, the memory unit for storing predefined threshold limits of the physical parameter of the connector, the transmitter element adapted to send the information over a network, the decision logic unit adapted to compare the received information with the threshold limits and, if the received information exceeds one of the threshold limits, transmitting a data packet over the network, the data packet comprising information indicating the parameter value has been exceeded; and
an output display device in electronic communication with the reader, configured to receive a data packet over the network, the data packet comprising information that one of the threshold limits has been exceeded.

Abstract
A coaxial cable connector system is provided. The system includes a coaxial cable connector, the connector having an internal physical parameter sensing circuit configured to sense a physical parameter of the connector and a status output component. The system further includes a data reader located externally to the connector. The reader includes a receiver element, a memory unit, a transmitter element, and a decision logic unit. The receiver element receives information about the connector, via the status output component, from the physical parameter sensing circuit. The memory unit stores predefined threshold limits of the physical parameter of the connector. The transmitter element is adapted to send the information over a network. The decision logic unit is adapted to compare the received information with the threshold limits and, if the received information exceeds the threshold limit, transmits the information over the network. The output display device is in electronic communication with the reader, configured to receive a data packet over the network. The data packet includes information that the physical parameter threshold has been exceeded.
