    Abstract: Systems and methods for physical layer access control are provided. In one embodiment, a method using an automated infrastructure management system comprising a portable device, a management system and a secured equipment cabinet comprises: scanning an asset ID tag with the portable device to obtain asset ID data; transmitting the asset ID data to the management system; verifying whether the asset ID data is associated with an electronic lock identified by an electronic work order, where the work order defines tasks involving a network device within the cabinet; scanning a fingerprint with the portable device to obtain fingerprint ID data; and verifying whether the fingerprint ID data matches an authorized technician. When the asset ID data is verified as associated with the electronic lock and the fingerprint ID data is verified as matching the authorized technician, sending an electronic command from the management system that unlocks the electronic lock.

    Abstract: A telecommunications system (14) includes a chassis (12) defining a front (18), a rear (16), and a plurality of first signal connection locations (38) adjacent the rear (16). A plurality of removable cassettes (10) are housed within the chassis (12), each including a cassette body (68) defining a fixed portion (80) that is coupled to one of the first signal connection locations (38) on the chassis (12) and a movable portion (82) that telescopically slides relative to the fixed portion (80), wherein the movable portion (82) is configured for movement in a direction from the front (18) to the rear (16) of the chassis (12), each cassette (10) defining a plurality of second signal connection locations (58). A cable (24) between the fixed portion (80) and the movable portion (82) extends out from the movable portion (82) when that portion (82) is pulled forwardly to an extended position and is retracted into the cassette body (68) when the movable portion (82) is pushed rearwardly relative to the fixed portion (80).

    Abstract: One embodiment is directed to a heterogeneous physical layer management system comprising first devices, each comprising first physical layer information acquisition technology to obtain physical layer information about cabling attached to the first devices. The system further comprises second devices, each comprising second physical layer information acquisition technology to obtain physical layer information about cabling attached to the second devices, wherein the second physical layer information acquisition technology differs from the first physical layer information acquisition technology. The system further comprises a common management application communicatively coupled to the first devices and the second devices, wherein the common management application is configured to aggregate physical layer information from the first devices and the second devices. Another embodiment is directed to providing a physical layer management application as a service hosted by a third party. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: An electric connector is provided to ensure reliable termination of cable wires having different sizes. The electric connector can include a housing, a plurality of contacts, and a wire holder. The wire holder includes a wire support extension configured to be at least partially inserted into the housing. The wire support extension defines a plurality of wire receiving passages configured to arrange a plurality of first wires thereon and align the first wires with contact insert slots of the housing, respectively, when the wire support extension is inserted to the housing. The wire holder further includes a plurality of wire support ribs configured to centralize second wires smaller than the first wires.

    Abstract: A connector plug arrangement (330, 600, 700) includes a connector body (334, 610, 720); and an indication component (335, 650, 750). The indication component (335, 650, 750) includes a first portion (337, 653, 751) that is disposed at a rear end of the connector body and a second portion (339, 654, 753) that extends outwardly from the first portion (337, 653, 751). The first portion (337, 653, 751) is configured to extend along a circumferential perimeter of the connector body (334, 610, 720). The second portion (339, 654, 753) is configured to extend along the longitudinal axis of the connector body (334, 610, 720).
