Abstract:
Mechanisms for mounting, opening, closing and releasing a door assembly relative to a mounting structure are provided. The mechanisms employ a first structure that defines at least one elongated guide channel and a latching subassembly that is adapted to be mounted with respect to the foregoing guide channel(s) and to rotate with respect thereto. Rotation of the latching assembly with respect to the guide channel(s) allows a latching region, e.g., a V-shaped latching region, to move between a first position (wherein the latching region is adapted to receive a mounting structure) and a second position (wherein the latching region cannot receive a mounting structure). In the second position, the latching region (in combination with the guide channel) is structured to capture a mounting structure (e.g., a projection associated with a cable management system) therewithin. Methods for use of the door assembly and latching subassembly are provided, as well as particular utilities thereof, e.g., rack-mounting applications.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a telecommunications termination panel with a housing including a front opening and a rear opening. Pivotably mounted within the housing is a tray within the front opening, pivoting about a vertical axis located adjacent a first side of the housing. A cable path is defined along a bottom of the housing along the first side between the cable entry of the tray and the rear opening. A movable plate is positioned adjacent the first side and is movable between a first position defining an upper limit of the cable path when the tray is closed and a second position allowing access to the cable path when the tray is open. The movement of the plate between the first and second positions is actuated by the movement of the tray between the closed and open positions. The present invention further relates to a telecommunications termination panel with a housing including a front opening. Pivotably mounted within the housing is a tray within the front opening, pivoting about a vertical axis located adjacent a first side of the housing. The tray is pivotable between an open position and a closed position. The tray includes a cover which can be moved between an operational position and an access position when the tray is in the open position. With the cover in the operational position, the tray is prevented from moving from the open position to the closed position.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a rack for telecommunications equipment. The rack includes a frame defining a bay opening sized and shaped for receiving a plurality of jack modules. The rack also includes a first set of cable management brackets that define a first vertical channel arranged and configured for receiving and vertically managing a plurality of cross-connect cables. Each of the cable management brackets includes a pivot portion that is pivotally movable relative to the frame. The pivot portions are pivotally movable between first positions in which the pivot portions extend partially across a front of the bay opening, and second positions in which the pivot portions are generally offset from the front of the bay opening. The present disclosure also relates to a rack for telecommunications equipment that includes rear cable management structure that defines a plurality of vertical channels along a back side of the rack. The present disclosure further relates to a telecommunications jack module including an array of jacks arranged in top and bottom horizontal rows. The jack module also includes an array of cross-connect locations positioned beneath the bottom horizontal row of jacks. The array of cross-connect locations is electrically connected to both the top and bottom rows of jacks.
Abstract:
An amplifier for a portable telephone of the like is repaired or replaced without loss of an amplifying function even when the amplifier malfunctions. A plurality of door-shaped amplifier parts are provided on the left and right sides of an amplifier box. The left and right door-shaped amplifier parts can be mounted on opposite sides to each other. One amplifier part is in service and the other amplifier part is a backup. In a case where the amplifier part in service malfunctions, the other amplifier part is used or is mounted for use on the opposite side.
Abstract:
A distribution block for telecommunication and data transmission applications, in particular for the main distribution frame of telephone and data lines. The distribution block includes insulation displacement contact elements for the connection of the subscriber cables as well as of the exchange office cables. One-piece contact springs are disposed in the interior of the modular-design distribution block. A mounting bracket, in particular for receiving distribution blocks is provided including a U-shaped tub. A device for guiding cables is rotatably moved in a partial section, and with cable guide portions. A reduction in size, an improvement of connection tasks, the individual protection of double wires, a reliable grounding and a cable guiding which is substantially resistant to buckling and bending are secured, is achieved by that one-piece contact springs disposed in the interior of distribution block. These springs are formed by insulation displacement connection contacts at the front and rear sides of the block by a telephone contact in a central section, the phone contact being composed of at least two contact surfaces which may be double contacts, and by a support surface. A tongue acts on the support surface with a cam. A tapping contact is provided in the front section of contact spring. A mounting bracket is provided with a tub bottom and contact lugs for the establishment of an electrically conducting and of a mechanical connection and openings for the insertion of protection plugs or the like. A device for guiding cables is provided including a rack frame or the like rigidly disposed cable guide portions that are positioned upwardly and downwardly offset to cable guide portions.
Abstract:
A device and method for connecting an optical switch to the optical fibers that terminate on a fiber distribution shelf within a fiber administration system. The optical switch device contains a support plate that is shaped essentially the same as the protective cover of fiber distribution shelf. As such, the support plate of the optical switch device can be joined to a specific fiber distribution shelf by substituting the support plate for the protective cover. An optical switch is affixed to the support plate, wherein the optical switch is sized not to extend beyond the peripheral boundaries of the support plate. As a result, when the support plate is placed over a fiber distribution shelf, the optical switch joined to the support plate does not obscure any other fiber distribution shelf in the fiber administration system.
Abstract:
A cable manager includes one or more cable manager units. Each cable manager unit includes a pair of side cable guides, each comprised of a plurality of finger-like projections extending forwardly from a support column. At least one of the pair of support columns has a socket arranged at a side thereof. Each cable manager unit further includes a separate midsection member capable of insertion into the socket for interconnecting the pair of side cable guides.
