Communications bladed panel systems

A fiber panel system includes a chassis and at least blades configured to mount to the chassis. Each blade is moveable relative to the chassis between a retracted (closed) position and at least one extended position. Cable slack is managed at the front and/or rear of each chassis to facilitate movement of the blades without pulling or bending the cables beyond a maximum bend limit. Each blade may be locked into one or more positions relative to the chassis.

METHODS AND APPARATUS TO MANAGE WORKLOAD DOMAINS IN VIRTUAL SERVER RACKS

Methods and apparatus to manage workload domains in virtual server racks are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a policy enforcer to evaluate whether capacities of the plurality of workload domains comply with policy capacity levels of respective user-defined policies for the plurality of workload domains, and a resource manager to, when a first workload domain has a first quantify of resources that exceeds a first policy capacity level of a first user-defined policy, identify a second workload domain requesting a second quantity of resources, when the second quantity of resources is equal to the first quantity of resources, allocate the first quantity of resources from the first workload domain to the second workload domain to satisfy the first policy capacity level, when the second quantity of resources is less than the first quantity of resources, allocate the second quantity of resources from the first workload domain to the second workload domain, and de-allocate remaining resources from the first workload domain to a shared resource pool to satisfy the first policy capacity level.

INTEGRATED CELL SITE SECTOR

A cell site sector includes: a mounting frame; an RF antenna mounted to one side of the mounting frame; and at least one (RRU mounted to a second, opposed side of the mounting frame md operationally connected with the antenna. The RRU and the RF antenna have horizontal width and depth dimensions, the width dimension art g greater than the depth dimension, wherein the width dimension of the RRU is generally parallel with the width dimension of the RF antenna.

Methods and apparatus to manage workload domains in virtual server racks

Methods and apparatus to manage workload domains in virtual server racks are disclosed. An example apparatus includes processor circuitry to, in response to detecting that a number of available physical racks satisfies a threshold number of physical racks, apply a first resource allocation technique by reserving requested resources by exhausting first available resources of a first physical rack before using second available resources of a second physical rack; in response to detecting that the number of available physical racks does not satisfy the threshold number of physical racks, apply a second resource allocation technique by reserving the requested resources using a portion of the first available resources without exhausting the first available resources and using a portion of the second available resources without exhausting the second available resources; and execute one or more workload domains associated with a number of requested resources.

Adjustable cable managers

A cable management system includes elongated members mounted to a panel; and gate members configured to couple to at least some of the elongated members. Adjacent ones of the elongated members define management regions therebetween. Each gate member is rotatable relative to the respective elongated member to selectively inhibit and allow access to the respective management region. Each gate member can be fixed at any axial point along an adjustment region of the respective elongated member to adjust the depth of the management region.

Communications bladed panel systems

A fiber panel system includes a chassis including a backplane; and at least a first blade configured to mount to the chassis. The first blade is moveable relative to the chassis between a refracted (closed) position and at least one extended position. The first blade includes a coupler arrangement for connecting together media segments. The first blade remains electrically connected to the backplane of the chassis when moving between the retracted and extended positions.
