The present disclosure describes a telecommunications equipment mount. The mount includes a stabilization frame having a bottom and at least three sides, the bottom and sides defining an open interior cavity, at least one mounting member perpendicular to one of the sides of the stabilization frame and extending outwardly from the side of the stabilization frame a distance, and at least one brace member. The at least one brace member includes a first bracket coupled to one side of the stabilization frame and configured to be secured to the at least one mounting member and a second bracket extending outwardly from the same side of the stabilization frame at an angle. A first end of the second bracket is coupled to a lower end of the first bracket and a second opposing end of the second bracket is configured to be secured to the at least one mounting member at a different location than the first bracket. The stabilization frame is configured to ballast the mount on a mounting structure when telecommunications equipment is secured to the mount. Telecommunications equipment mount assemblies are also described herein.

One embodiment is directed to a multi-rack rack controller for an automated infrastructure management (AIM) system comprising a plurality of independent patching equipment bus interfaces. Another embodiment is directed to a rack controller comprising at least one rack controller interface configured to connect the rack controller to another rack controller. Each rack controller interface comprises a respective termination circuit. The rack controller is configured to determine whether each rack controller interface is connected to another rack controller as a function of a respective sense signal developed by the termination circuit associated with said rack controller interface. Another embodiment is directed to a rack controller comprising a base unit having a locate button disposed on the front of the base unit. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A network switch subrack in a cabinet system is configured to bear a network switch. The network switch subrack includes an outer frame that is configured to be plugged into the cabinet. The outer frame includes a cavity sized to accommodate the network switch. The network switch subrack further includes a fastening assembly that is disposed in the outer frame and configured to fasten the network switch in the cavity in the outer frame. The network switch subrack further includes a transfer module having a first end pluggably connected to the cabinet system and a second end pluggably connected to the network switch.

Technologies for allocating resources of managed nodes to workloads to balance multiple resource allocation objectives include an orchestrator server to receive resource allocation objective data indicative of multiple resource allocation objectives to be satisfied. The orchestrator server is additionally to determine an initial assignment of a set of workloads among the managed nodes and receive telemetry data from the managed nodes. The orchestrator server is further to determine, as a function of the telemetry data and the resource allocation objective data, an adjustment to the assignment of the workloads to increase an achievement of at least one of the resource allocation objectives without decreasing an achievement of another of the resource allocation objectives, and apply the adjustments to the assignments of the workloads among the managed nodes as the workloads are performed. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Technologies for switching network traffic include a network switch. The network switch includes one or more processors and communication circuitry coupled to the one or more processors. The communication circuitry is capable of switching network traffic of multiple link layer protocols. Additionally, the network switch includes one or more memory devices storing instructions that, when executed, cause the network switch to receive, with the communication circuitry through an optical connection, network traffic to be forwarded, and determine a link layer protocol of the received network traffic. The instructions additionally cause the network switch to forward the network traffic as a function of the determined link layer protocol. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

The present invention relates to a communication patch panel and a communication rack system having the communication patch panel. The communication patch panel includes a panel body (2) having two ends as well as a front side (21) and a rear side. The communication patch panel includes two fittings (3), each of which is configured to be mounted on a communication rack (20) and to be detachably connected to one of the ends of the panel body, wherein each of the fittings provides a plurality of transverse positions for the detachable connection. A plurality of different positionings of the panel body may be flexibly realized in the communication patch panel.

Systems and methods for monitoring and detecting parameters within a facility. The systems and methods include an actuator to adjust a position of a sensor device, the sensor device capable of gathering sensor data related to one or more parameters. The sensor device is in communication with a transmitter to transmit sensor data, a horizontal position, and a vertical position of the sensor device as it moves and gathers the sensor data. The data is assembled into a data structure showing the data throughout the facility for identification of abnormalities and adjustment of facility parameters.

A utility cabinet includes a housing having an interior compartment, a rear wall, a top wall, a bottom wall, a first side wall, a second side wall, a front opening, and a side opening. A frame is connected to the housing and moveable between a first position where the frame is entirely in the housing and a second position where at least a portion of the frame is outside of the housing. The frame is configured to receive one or more utility components. A front door is connected to the housing and moveable between a closed position covering the front opening and an open position providing access to the front opening. A side door is connected to the housing and moveable between a closed position covering the side opening and an open position providing access to the side opening.
