Ballasted telecommunications equipment mounts and assemblies
The present disclosure describes a telecommunications equipment mount. The telecommunications equipment mount includes a stabilization frame having a plurality of lower rails, a plurality of vertical rails, and a plurality of upper rails, the lower, vertical, and upper rails forming a top, a bottom, and at least sides of the stabilization frame to define an open interior cavity; at least one mounting member extending outwardly from, and perpendicular to, one of the sides of the stabilization frame a distance; at least one brace member coupled to the stabilization frame and configured to support the at least one mounting member; and at least one mounting pipe secured to the at least one mounting member. The stabilization frame is configured to ballast the mount on a mounting structure when telecommunications equipment is secured to the at least one mounting pipe. Telecommunications equipment mount assemblies are also described herein.
Network device with compact chassis
In some implementations, a network device includes a housing and a set of switch cards within the housing and including a first set of connectors. A set of line cards within the housing includes a second set of connectors. The set of line cards are oriented orthogonally to the set of switch cards. A first set of power supplies and a second set of power supplies are in the housing. A midplane includes a plurality of circuit board assemblies arranged within the housing between the set of line cards and the first and second sets of power supplies to allow air to flow through the set of line cards to the set of switch cards, first set of power supplies, and second set of power supplies.
APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING FIELD-REPLACEABLE UNITS IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS DEVICES VIA RETRACTABLE GUIDE RAILS
A disclosed apparatus may include (1) a retractable guide rail movably coupled to a chassis, wherein the retractable guide rail is configured to support a field-replaceable unit when the field-replaceable unit is installed in the chassis, (2) a support bracket coupled to the chassis and aligned with the retractable guide rail within the chassis and (3) a locking bracket movably coupled to the support bracket, wherein the locking bracket is configured to (A) engage the retractable guide rail in an expanded position within the chassis when the field-replaceable unit is not installed in the chassis and (B) disengage the retractable guide rail such that the retractable guide rail moves to a retracted position when the field-replaceable unit is installed in the chassis. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
CABLE CONNECTION SYSTEM
A cable connection system and a method of forming the cable connection system. The cable connection system includes a base and a coupling mechanism. The base is configured to be coupled to a given cable. The given cable is configured to be connected to a given rack. The coupling mechanism is configured to couple the base with the given rack during a given connect mode of operation. The coupling mechanism includes a group of base connectors provided on a first surface of the base. The first surface is arranged to lie substantially flush with the given rack. The method includes: providing the base and coupling the coupling mechanism to the base.
HEAT EXCHANGE MODULE AND CABINET
The heat exchange module is used in the cabinet that includes a cabinet body. The cabinet body has a first space and a second space. A temperature of the first space is higher than a temperature of the second space. The heat exchange module has a first air circulation system and a second air circulation system, and heat exchange may be performed between the first air circulation system and the second air circulation system. Both an air intake vent and an air exhaust vent of the first air circulation system are configured to be connected to the first space. An air exhaust vent of the second air circulation system is connected to an external space, and an air intake vent of the second air circulation system can be configured to be selectively connected to the external space and/or the second space.
Slide Rail Assembly
A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a bracket, a second rail and a locking device. The bracket is arranged on the first rail and has a locking part. The second rail is movable relative to the first rail from a retracted position to an extended position. The locking device is arranged on the second rail. The locking device comprises a locking base and a locking member. The locking base is configured to be operated relative to the second rail to be in one of an open state and a closed state. When the locking base is in the closed state, the locking member corresponds to the locking part of the bracket. When the locking base is in the open state, the locking member is away from the locking part of the bracket.
RACK UNIT WITH PIVOTABLE REAR DESIGNATION PLATE
The disclosure is directed at a rack unit that provides an improved system and method for users to identify the ports within the rack unit. The rack unit includes a designation plate pivots between a lowered position where the user can identify the ports within the rack unit and a raised position where the user has more space to insert a cable into an identified port.
Light fixture with patch panel
A lighting system is provided with a plurality of light fixtures within a room and at least one control system for controlling the plurality of light fixtures within a room. At least one of the light fixtures among the plurality of light fixtures within the room includes a patch panel thereon. The control system is attached to the patch panel on a first side of the patch panel, and a remaining of the plurality of light fixtures in the room are connected to the patch panel on a second side.
HIGH DENSITY PANEL WITH ROTATING TRAY
The present invention relates to a telecommunications termination panel with a tray pivotably mounted within the front opening of a housing. The tray pivots about a hinge located adjacent one of the sides of the housing and includes a raised floor. The raised floor of the tray cooperates with the side adjacent the hinge and a bottom of the housing to define a cable path from a rear cable access port to an opening on the tray adjacent the hinge. The tray includes a plurality of connection locations and cable management structures to direct a telecommunications cable from the cable access port to a rear of the connection locations without violating bend radius rules. The tray may also include a temporary cable holder to assist in pulling cables through the rear opening into the housing. The present invention further relates to a telecommunications equipment rack with a termination panel with such a pivoting tray mounted to the rack.
