摘要:
A method and apparatus are provided for incorporating guided network cable Move/Add/Change (MAC) work order capability into a power patch panel. MAC work orders may be controlled and monitored using in-band signaling using, e.g., standard RJ-45 patch cords. Cable detection is performed at a port level on a real-time basis. Coordination of guided MAC operations may be performed by the patch panel, independently, or in conjunction with, or under the control of, a remote Network Management System. The patch panel may be in either an interconnect or cross-connect configuration.
摘要:
A connector assembly and method, the assembly having a housing which defines a connector window. A connector is disposed within the window. The connector is slidable between a first and second position relative to the housing. The assembly may include a carriage for receiving one or more connectors. The carriage slides with the connectors between first and second positions. The assembly may include means for retaining the carriage and connectors in a selected position relative to the housing.

A powered patch panel (PPP) (900) is disclosed that inserts power in mid-span regions of a network (100) and provides fault-tolerance at the power supply level and the power-plane level. Information such as physical location, port status and policy enforcement information may be locally stored and utilized by a processor (924) of the PPP (900) to achieve network control and monitoring. A network management system (110) and/or element management system may be provided to interface with processors (924) of PPPs (900) to achieve network monitoring, control and policy enforcement goals.
摘要:
A method and system for automating a switch matrix board for cross-connecting any line in a set of input lines to any line in a set of output lines, to be used e.g. in automating cross-connects for line pairs in a central office main distribution frame (MDF) of a telecommunication network. The switch matrix (100) comprises a plurality of contact sledges (130) driven by a plurality of sledge positioning screws (120) that slidably engage a plurality of main contact pads (110) to cross-connect the lines. In an embodiment of the invention, two electric motors cooperate to position a lateral drive gear (158) to engage and rotate a selected sledge positioning screw (120), which moves the contact sledge. In another embodiment, a single electric motor operates together with a magnetic clutch assembly (180) to position the lateral drive gear to rotate the sledge positioning screw (120). A controller unit is connected to a position detection system and to the motor's to accurately position the contact sledge (130) on the switch matrix board.
摘要:
A functional module (10) in the field of telecommunications is fittable to a telecommunications module (12) and comprises outer edges (14, 16, 18, 20), corners (22) and an accessible contact area (24), at least one rigid step (26), projection (28) and/or recess (30, 68) being formed on at least one outer edge (18, 20) in an area other than the contact area (24) and at a distance from a corner (22).
摘要:
Systems and methods for directing and facilitating the installation and revision of communications connections use indicators on active jacks to inform installers and revisors of installation and revision instructions forwarded by a network installation, monitoring, and/or revising system. Cross-connect and interconnect systems utilize patch panels populated with active jacks having indicators for facilitating installation and revision of cabling.
摘要:
A telecommunications module (10) has contacts (12, 14, 16) for connecting wires therewith, the contacts (12, 14, 16) being arranged in a number of substantially parallel rows, which is three or a multiple of three, at least one row of contacts (12, 14, 16) which is assigned to transmit a specific signal, such as a POTS, a line or a DSLAM signal, being assigned to transmit a different signal than any adjacent row of contacts within each multiple of three rows.
摘要:
Methods, systems and devices are described relating to a chassis for front and back inserted modules. An apparatus includes a chassis including a first module bay and a second module bay, the first module bay and the second module bay together composing both a forward section and rearward section.
摘要:
An access module (1) for termination strips (2) of telephone cables characterized in that in order to operate the sectioning of the telephone wire pairs connected to the termination strips in the "user side", "exchange side" and both sides, it consists of a series of single elements (3) releasably stacked on one another in the termination strip and provided with suitable means (5) for the mechanical and electrical connection to the wire pairs connected to the termination strip. Such access module further comprises two side uprights (14,15) provided with means (16) for the electrical connection to the single elements inserted into the telephone wire pairs connected to the termination strip, and means (19) for the connection to a local measurement apparatus of the known type.
