Abstract:
A patch panel includes a back plane having front mounted pairs of termination locations, and an interconnect location electrically connected to each pair of termination locations. The termination locations connect to two patch cords. The interconnect location defines an access device for selectively accessing the termination locations. An interconnect module interfaces with the interconnect location. The module can include test access, power over Ethernet, or circuit protection features.

The elongated structures are also configured to receive and secure a printed circuit board and the plurality of modules to the chassis. The modules include a housing and a module card. The card can include a variety of connections that provide communication to connections located on a back plane of the chassis. The system can include a combination of passive and active modules that are interchangeable to provide a variety of interface configurations.
Abstract:
The preferred embodiments of the present invention include an optical sputter module having connectorized pigtails that are stored on the bulkhead faceplate of the module. The module includes an optical splitter output harness, for example, a ribbon cable assembly attached to the bulkhead with rugged strain relief mechanism. The ribbon harness is converted to individual pigtails with connectors which are stored on adapter receptacles on the faceplate. Adapter receptacles used may optionally be half receptacles when storage is the only desired function or may be full receptacles when access to the pigtail ferrule tip is required. Access to the ferrule tip may be required for attaching fiber optic terminators to eliminate undesirable reflections caused by unterminated connectors. The module provides an administrative location for splitter outputs prior to being connected individually into service. The module also provides an administrative storage location for splitter outputs taken out of service as a temporary staging area before being reassigned and connected individually into service again.
Abstract:
A coaxial connection assembly including a coaxial jack with a conductive outer shell with a first end and a second opposite end. The first end defines a front coaxial jack including an insulator mounted within an axial opening of the outer shell and a center conductor mounted within the insulator. The second end defines a rear coaxial jack including an insulator mounted within an axial opening of the outer shell and a center conductor mounted within the insulator. The center conductors of the front and rear jacks are electrically connected. The jack assembly is positioned within a longitudinal opening of a housing. The first end of the jack assembly extends through a first end of the housing and the second end of the jack assembly extends through a second end of the housing. The jack assembly may only be inserted within and removed from the housing through the first end. Rotation of the jack assembly within the opening is prevented. The housing includes amounting flange extending away from the longitudinal opening adjacent the first end of the housing, with the mounting flange including an opening for receiving a fastener.
Abstract:
A method of providing a financial service using a phone number and an account balance to a user by registering a phone number of a user’s terminal, installing a financial transaction exclusive program in the user’s terminal, and inputting the phone number of the user’s terminal and an approved key to a corresponding program, which is achieved by receiving the approved key, an account number of a counterpart to receive a fund to be transferred, an amount of a fund, and a balance of a corresponding account, from the user’s terminal, to obtain the phone number of the user’s terminal, performing approval by using the phone number of the user’s terminal, the received approved key, and the account balance, which are obtained in the first step, transmitting a request for confirmation of a name of the counterpart and an amount to be transferred to the user’s terminal, performing a fund to the account of the counterpart if a response to the request for confirmation is received from the user, and transmitting a corresponding transaction content to the user’s terminal to update a transaction record of the exclusive program.
Abstract:
A telecommunications apparatus for use with a signal lamp. The apparatus includes a jack having a jack body defining an IN port, an OUT port and a MONITOR port. The ports are aligned along a vertical line with the OUT port positioned above the IN port and the MONITOR port positioned above the OUT port. A first set of spring contacts is provided for contacting a plug inserted in the IN port, a second set of spring contacts is provided for contacting a plug inserted in the OUT port, and a third set of spring contacts is provided for contacting a plug inserted in the MONITOR port. The telecommunications apparatus further includes a lamp switch for activating teh signal lamp when a plug is inserted in the MONITOR port. The lamp switch is positioned below the third set of spring contacts and above the second set of spring contacts.
Abstract:
Remote enclosure systems have now been designed and are described herein that meet the following goals: a) consolidates electrical terminations in one system; b) pre-terminates AC and DC equipment loads before site installation; c) provides multiple access points for facilitating equipment repair and installation; d) is easily expanded through the use of additional systems or expansion cabinets and e) is aesthetically functional given the cable entry and routing structure. Remote enclosure systems generally comprise: a) a frame system further comprising at least two side panels; b) at least one door coupled to the frame system; c) at least one removable radiofrequency (RF) port plate coupled to at least one of the side panels and/or the frame system; d) a bottom panel coupled to the frame system; and e) a cable management top assembly coupled to the frame system. The remote enclosure system may also comprise any number of components suitable for electronics, wireless and cable-based data and telecommunications applications, including air conditioner exhaust member, an air conditioner unit, a battery pack, a meter base, a power receptacle box, an alarm system or alarm device, an expansion cabinet, a coupling device or system, a pre-wiring system and/or a demarcation component. A remote enclosure system may be produced by: a) providing a frame system having at least two side panels, at least one door coupled to the frame system, at least one removable RF port plate coupled to at least one of the side panels, a bottom panel coupled to the frame system, and a cable management top assembly coupled to the frame system; b) providing an expansion cabinet; and c) coupling the frame system to the expansion cabinet through a coupling interface.
Abstract:
Telephones 2-1 to 2-n and computers 1-1 to 1-n are connected via common home wiring 9-1 to 9-n to a terminal board 6. The terminal board 6 is connected to telephone lines 14-1 to 14-n from the public telephone network 61 and braches the home wiring 9-1to 9-n to a line concentrator switch 7. Moreover, the terminal board 6 has terminal board splitters 13-1 to 13-n connected between the telephone lines 14-1 to 14-n and the home wiring 9-1 to 9-n. It is possible to utilize the telephones 2-1 to 2-n via the public telephone network 61 and perform high-speed data communication of the computers 1-1 to 1-n with the Internet 62 by the VDSL service using an optical fiber cable 10 via a router 8 connected to the line concentrator switch 7.
