    Abstract: In accordance with the following description, an optical communication connector includes a ferrule having retractable alignment pins that are actuable between an extended position and a retracted position. For example, the connector may include an inner housing assembly having optical fibers and an outer housing positioned over the inner housing assembly. The outer housing is shaped to be removable from the inner housing assembly, which has a movable pin clamp mechanically coupled to alignment pins for aligning the connector with another connector. The pin clamp may be slid from a first position (corresponding to a male gender) to a second position (corresponding to a female gender). Separately or in combination with changing gender, the polarity of a communication connector may be changed due to its inclusion of an asymmetric polarity-changing feature that is actuable by an installer to change a polarity of the communication connector. Such a feature may be actuated by being moved from a first position to a second position relative to the communication connector.

    Abstract: A method of detecting a fault in a power distribution system includes placing a signal on the system at a frequency F1 and then detecting a change in the signal due to a change in the impedence of the system as a result of a fault wherein the change is one of a change in phase, a change in signal tone, or a change in voltage level at the load. In one embodiment, band reject filters can be used to diminish the signal at the load or source. In another embodiment, the power source can be a periodic pulsed power source and the signal can be placed on the system during an idle phase of the periodic pulsed power.

    Abstract: An equipment rail mounted in a data center cabinet to support rack mounted equipment in the data center cabinet. The equipment rail includes a first section and a second section. A finger mounting bracket is secured to the second section of the equipment rail. The finger mounting bracket has a first member with sidewalls and a second member parallel to the first member. The distal ends of the sidewalls engage the equipment rail to form an open area between the first member and the second section of the equipment rail.

    Abstract: An apparatus having a plurality of multifiber connector interfaces, where some of these multifiber connector interfaces can connect to network equipment in a network using multifiber cables, has an internal mesh implemented in two tiers. The first is configured to rearrange and the second is configured to recombine individual fiber of the different fiber groups. The light path of each transmitter and receiver is matched in order to provide proper optical connections from transmitting to receiving fibers and complex arbitrary network topologies can be implemented with at least 1/N less point to point interconnections, where N=number of channels per multifiber connector interface.

    Abstract: A cable management system includes multiple cables, each having a unique identifier associated therewith and each including first and second barcodes including the unique identifier, the first barcode located proximate a first end of the cable, the second barcode located proximate a second end of the cable. The system also includes a barcode scanner to scan barcodes of the cables, the barcode scanner includes a clip to receive one of the cables. The system also includes a mobile computing device having a processor, data storage medium, communication unit, and user interface including a display. The mobile computing device is configured to receive via the user interface first end location information for a first cable, receive from the barcode scanner the first barcode of the first cable, and save and display the first end location information in association with the unique identifier of the first cable included in the first barcode.

    Abstract: An optical connector houses and holds a fusion spliced portion with a short optical fiber fitted to an optical connector ferrule is fusion-spliced with a buffered optical fiber. One end of a protection sleeve which reinforces said fusion spliced portion is configured to be adhered to a buffer on the short optical fiber fitted to the optical connector ferrule and another end is adhered to a buffer of the buffered optical fiber. The protection sleeve has an inner heat shrink tube, an outer heat shrink tube, and at least one element that allows the protection sleeve to be concentric to the ferrule and cable buffer axis.
