Abstract:
A powered communications patch panel is adapted to power network devices connected to the communications patch panel. Power is supplied to the network devices by the powered communications patch panel over the communication cabling. The powered communications patch panel may be provided with a management port to allow remote management of the patch panel via a network connection. Multiple management ports may be provided, allowing patch panels to be connected to one another in a daisy-chain configuration.
Abstract:
The distribution connecting module (1) for telecommunications and data systems technology, comprises a housing (2) inside of which input and output contacts for connecting lines and wires are placed, said contacts being accessible from the exterior. The housing (2) is provided with a cavity inside of which at least one printed circuit board (6) is placed. The input and output contacts are situated on the opposing faces (50, 57) of the housing (2). The input contacts are provided in the form of at least one connector strip (5) with insulation displacement contacts (41). The input and output contact can be detachably connected to the printed circuit board (6). The connector strip (5) supporting the input contacts is detachably connected to the housing (2) via a front part (7). The insulation displacement contacts (41) are connected to the printed circuit board (6) via fork contacts (42). The connection between the front part (7) and the housing (2) is such that when the connection is released, the connector strip (5), which is connected to the front part (7), is, together with the fork contacts (42), moved away from the printed circuit board (6).
Abstract:
An integrated DSL and radio communication system is provided. A DSL system and a radio communication system are configured to share numerous components, such as environmental housing, a power subsystem, a data transfer subsystem, and backhaul cabling. By sharing such components, the complexity and cost of implementing remote DSL access and remote radio communications is reduced.

Abstract:
A splitter assembly (10) is provided that comprises a terminal block (18) for mounting to a main distribution frame (34) and a splitter circuit for combining/splitting POTS signals and xDSL signals onto/from a single wire pair. The terminal block (18) is pivotally mounted to a housing (12) and the splitter circuit is on a card (40) that is located in the housing. The terminal block (18) may be mounted to the same housing (12) that contains the splitter card (40). The POTS line contacts, XDSL line contacts and combined line contacts of the splitter circuit are connected to respective pairs of terminals (26) in the terminal block.
Abstract:
An xDSL splitter module (16) is provided for mounting in a network interface device (NID) (12) that contains an xDSL splitter circuit and the terminals (98) to connect the circuit between outside plant wires (20) and two pairs of inside wires to deliver POTS and xDSL to the subscriber. The module also has at least a demarcation point (85) for the POTS signal.
Abstract:
An architecture, as well as various components, of an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) subscriber access multiplexer (ASAM) system can be implemented using an xDSL (x-Digital Subscriber Line) using DMT (Discrete Multitone) or CAP (Carrierless Amplitude Phase Modulation) between a plurality of subscribers and a corresponding plurality of line termination equipment in a shelf that also includes network termination equipment for connection to an ATM network. The line termination and network termination equipment are interconnected by a bus internal to the shelf for providing subscriber access. Separate lowpass filters are provided at each end of a twisted wire pair between the shelf and each subscriber equipment. A shelf can be used as a hub for connecting to a remote shelf that includes the line termination equipment for connection to subscribers. Although the internal bus of the shelf is shown in a non-redundant embodiment, an increased level of equipment protection can be provided by placing one half of a redundant equipment pair in one.shelf and the other half in the other shelf and sharing network termination equipment between such shelves.
Abstract:
The outside distribution plant of the invention consists of a remote terminal (12) such as a digital loop carrier, broadband distribution element or the like that receives telecommunications signals from a switching system (24) or other network element. The signals are delivered to a variety of different types of line cards (16) where each of the different types of line cards provide a different type of telecommunications service as is known in the prior art. Connection lines (30) emanating from the line cards are connected to the inputs of a remotely controlled crossbar array (22) where the inputs of the array can be selectively connected to the outputs of the crossbar array. The outputs of the crossbar array are connected to distribution lines (28) that terminate at one of a plurality of feeder distribution interfaces (20) that connect to customer lines (32) that terminate a customer premise equipment (6). By properly configuring the crossbar array (22), the line cards (16) can be connected to any of the feeder distribution interfaces (20) such that any customer line (32) has access to any available line card (16). In this manner the network resources can be efficiently distributed among the customer lines
Abstract:
A powered patch panel (PPP) is disclosed that inserts power in mid-span regions of a network and provides fault-tolerance at the power supply level and the power-plane level. Information such as physical location, port status and policy enforcement information may be locally stored and utilized by a processor of the PPP to achieve network control and monitoring. A network management system and/or element management system may be provided to interface with processors of PPPs to achieve network monitoring, control and policy enforcement goals.
