Abstract: One exemplary embodiment is directed to an end node comprising a programmable processor configured to execute software and an ETHERNET network interface communicatively coupled to the programmable processor. The network interface is configured to couple the end node to a network. The ETHERNET network interface comprises a media access control device, an ETHERNET physical layer device, and a port to connect a cable to the network interface. The physical layer device comprises an integrated storage-device interface to communicate with a storage device associated with a connector attached to an end of the cable when connected to the network interface via the port. The software is configured to use the integrated storage-device interface to read information stored in the storage device and to communicate the read information over the network.

Abstract: A fiber panel system includes a chassis and at least blades configured to mount to the chassis. Each blade is moveable relative to the chassis between a retracted (closed) position and at least one extended position. Cable slack is managed at the front and/or rear of each chassis to facilitate movement of the blades without pulling or bending the cables beyond a maximum bend limit. Each blade may be locked into one or more positions relative to the chassis.
