Abstract:
A revision system for a network having a plurality of data ports, pairs of the data ports being connectable by a patch cord to place the pairs of data ports into communication with each other, the revision system including a computer processor, a plurality of port plates corresponding to and disposed proximately to at least a plurality of the data ports, a scanner in communication with the computer processor, the scanner capable of polling at least some of the port plates for determining information therefrom, a plurality of local system ports disposed at distinct physical locations within the system, the local system ports being in communication with the computer processor, and a probe for connecting to respective ones of the plurality of local system ports and respective ones of the plurality of port plates, whereby when the probe is connected to one of the local system ports and one of the port plates, the probe displays information about corresponding ones of the data ports in the system.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a telescoping wire cable tray system. The wire cable tray system includes an outer wire cable tray and an inner wire cable tray positioned within the outer wire cable tray. The inner wire cable tray slides or telescopes with respect to the outer wire cable tray enabling the length of the wire cable trays to be adjusted during installation of the wire cable tray system. The wire cable tray system may include trapeze support bars, clamps, side walls or downspout fittings.
Abstract:
A network cabinet fitting system includes a grommet, a corrugated tube fitting assembly and a filler panel. The grommet and the filler panel are installed within an opening of a network cabinet top. The fitting assembly is secured around a corrugated tube and inserted into the grommet to seal the opening.

A revision system for a network having a plurality of data ports, pairs of the data ports being connectable by a patch cord to place the pairs of data ports into communication with each other, the revision system including a computer processor, a scanner in communication with the computer processor, the scanner capable of polling at least some of the data ports for determining connective status information therefrom, a plurality of local system ports disposed at distinct physical locations within the system, the local system ports in communication with the computer processor, and a portable information module for connecting to respective ones of the plurality of local system ports, whereby when the portable information module is connected to one of the local system ports, the portable information module may be placed into communication with and display information about respective ones of the data ports in the system.
Abstract:
An adjustable exhaust duct includes a lower duct section and an upper duct section. The lower duct section may be larger or smaller than the upper duct section, and each duct has four identical locking systems. The locking systems secure the lower duct section and the upper duct section.
Abstract:
An intelligent physical layer management system is provided that includes active electronic hardware, firmware, mechanical assemblies, cables, and software that guide, monitor, and report on the process of connecting and disconnecting patch cords plugs in an interconnect patching environment. RFID tag integrated chips are used to identify which switch port a patch cord is plugged into. The system is capable of monitoring patch cord connections to detect insertions or removals of patch cords or plugs. In addition, the system can map the patch field in interconnect configurations.
Abstract:
An intelligent network patch field management system is provided that includes active electronic hardware, firmware, mechanical assemblies, cables, and software that guide, monitor, and report on the process of connecting and disconnecting patch cords plugs in an interconnect or cross-connect patching environment. RFID tag integrated chips are used in some embodiments of the system to allow for detection of patch cord insertion and removal at switch ports. RFID tags may also be used to detect users and control access to the network based on the users' levels of authorization. Network access can also be controlled at the outlet jack level. The system is capable of monitoring patch cord connections to detect insertions or removals of patch cords or plugs. In addition, the system can map entire networks.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a spillover fitting that routes cables from a lateral trough. The spillover fitting includes fitting walls and a floor positioned between the fitting walls. The floor has an extension flange that extends into the lateral trough. The spillover fitting also includes a containment member that extends from the extension flange. The containment member is positioned over the lateral trough to contain cables routed out of the lateral trough into the spillover fitting.
