Data Cable Management System and Method
20170180835 · 2017-06-22 ·

A system for organizing network cabling termination while reducing clutter in the media converter is provided. Clutter is reduced because the network provider can consolidate two pieces of cabling termination equipment within one compartment, minimizing space and the number of wires required in the media converter. The system is particularly valuable to office buildings, warehouses, places of educations, hospitals, and other institutions where localized networks are needed. The system is housed within a media converter and includes at least 24 termination ports, an output port, a number of data cables compatible to connect to the termination ports, a single data cable capable of connecting to the output port, and a test port. The media converter box is encased between 2 post racks and secured upon a shelf. When the media convert is set up, network managers can more easily troubleshoot and maintain the localized network server.

Fiber optic module and chassis

A telecommunications assembly includes a chassis and a plurality of modules removably mounted within the chassis. The modules include one or more fiber optic signal input locations. The modules include optical equipment for splitting the input signals into customer output signals.

Physical chassis as a different number of logical chassis

A system includes a first physical chassis comprising a first chassis management unit (CMU). The first CMU is configured to communicate with a second CMU in an additional physical chassis. The first CMU is also configured to communicate for the first physical chassis and the additional physical chassis as one logical chassis.

Network switch with removable management unit

A network switch includes: a housing including a first end plate and a second end plate spaced; a fan module and a power supply module respectively disposed in the housing adjacent to the second end plate; a switching unit at least partially disposed in the housing adjacent to the first end plate, the switching unit including a first connector disposed in the housing; and a management unit disposed in the housing and movable relative to the second end plate, an end of the management unit adjacent to the second end plate being provided with a second connector capable of mating with the first connector, the second connector being disconnected from the first connector when the management unit is drawn out of the housing through the first end plate, and being connected to the first connector when the management unit is inserted into the housing through the first end plate.
