    Abstract: A power distribution system includes a chassis with a plurality of ports that include a first port configured to communicate with powering devices and a second port configured to communicate with powered devices. A power distribution engine in the chassis is coupled to each of the plurality of ports. The power distribution engine determines that power available to the power distribution engine is insufficient to power a first powered device that is coupled to the first port, requests power from a first powering device that is coupled to the second port, and provides power that is received through the second port from the first powering device to the first powered device through the first port. In an embodiment, the first powered device and the second powered device are switch IHSs, the first port is configured as a trunk port, and the second port is configured as an access port.

    Abstract: Multi-module keying systems and methods include a chassis. A first module slot and a second module slot are located on the chassis. A keying device is movably coupled to the chassis and includes a first keying member that is located adjacent the first module slot and a second keying member that is located adjacent the second module slot. The keying device is configured to move in response to a first keyed module being positioned in the first module slot such that the first keyed module engages the first keying member. The movement of the keying device positions the second keying member adjacent the second module slot to restrict modules that may be positioned in the second module slot to second keyed modules. The systems and methods allow the second module slot to be keyed for second keyed modules based on the first keyed module positioned in the first module slot.

    Abstract: A transceiver lock insert may include a housing, a first connector housed at least partially within the housing and configured to communicatively and mechanically couple to a transceiver module, a second connector housed at least partially within the housing and configured to communicatively and mechanically couple to a cable, transmission media communicatively coupled between the first connector and the second connector and configured to communicatively couple the transceiver module to the cable, and a lock housed within the housing and configured to, when the transceiver lock insert is inserted into the transceiver module, secure the transceiver lock insert to the transceiver module to prevent access by a person to a release mechanism of the transceiver module.

    Abstract: A single cable optical data and power transmission system includes a powering device that transmits electrical signal data and power via its powering device port to a first transceiver. The first transceiver then transmits the power via an electrical wire in a cable connected to the first transceiver, while converting the electrical signal data to optical signal data and transmitting the optical signal data via an optical wire in the cable connected to the first transceiver. A second transceiver coupled to the cable receives the optical signal data transmitted over the optical wire in the cable, receives the power transmitted over the electrical wire in the cable, converts the optical signal data to electrical signal data, and transmits the electrical signal data and the power via a powered device port to a powered device.

    Abstract: A microburst monitoring system includes a port and a memory system with an egress queue and a shadow queue that are associated with the port. A networking engine is coupled to the port and the memory system and configured to receive and process packets to provide egress frames for forwarding through the port. The networking engine then stores the egress frames in the egress queue, and stores information about each of the egress frames in the shadow queue. When the networking device determines that the storage of the egress frames has caused the egress queue to reach a threshold, the networking device causes the information about each of the egress frames in the egress queue to be captured, and that captured information may be analyzed to determine a source device that is generating at least some of the packets to be throttled.

    Abstract: An active device module may include an active device, a housing configured to house the active device, a slide release latch mechanically coupled to the housing via a spring having a spring force that biases the slide release latch in a first position relative to the housing, and connectivity flaps mechanically coupled to the slide release latch via activation levers, wherein when the slide release latch is in the first position and a cable is inserted into the active device module, the connectivity flaps apply a compressive force to either side of the cable to mechanically maintain the cable within the active device module. The housing, the slide release latch, the activation levers, and the connectivity flaps may be arranged such that, when an external force is applied to the slide release latch to overcome the spring force of the spring to cause the slide release latch to move from the first position to a second position relative to the housing, the slide release latch exerts mechanical force on the activation levers, which in turn applies a force to the connectivity flaps, pulling at least a portion of each connectivity flap away from another connectivity flap, thereby reducing the compressive force retaining the cable between the connectivity flaps.
