Abstract: A lock mechanism for a faceplane infrastructure coupled externally from a faceplate of a modular device includes a locking bar, a locking bar engagement element, and a securing device. When the lock mechanism is assembled and in a locked state, the locking bar is housed within the modular device. Further, when the lock mechanism is assembled and in the locked state, the locking bar engagement element is fixedly coupled to a first portion of the faceplane infrastructure and removably engaged with the locking bar through an aperture in the faceplate of the modular device. Moreover, when the lock mechanism is assembled and in the locked state, the securing device locks the first portion of the faceplane infrastructure to the faceplate of the modular device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a nested co-blindmate high-density optical switch system. The nested co-blindmate high-density optical switch system can include a system enclosure, and an enclosure midplane that is installed the system enclosure. Further, a switch chassis can be enclosed by the system enclosure, and liquid blindmate to a liquid line on a rack; optically blindmate to at least one blade in the system enclosure; and electrically blindmate to the enclosure midplane. At least one optical switch line-card can be included in the system, which is enclosed by the switch chassis, and further enclosed by the system enclosure in a nested manner. The at least one optical switch line-cards can liquid blindmate to the switch chassis, optically blindmate to the switch chassis, and electrically blindmate to the enclosure midplane.

Abstract: A system is provided for connecting a plurality of different enclosures within rack. Enclosures can be stacked and contain a plurality of articulating arm assemblies configured to mate with each other. Each articulating arm assembling may comprise a side plenum, arm plenum, plenum pivot, and at least one knuckle housing. One or more knuckle housings of each articulating arm assembly configured to connect with one or more knuckle housing of a different articulating arm assembly. Each articulating arm assembly configured to move to at least a open and an closed position. Each knuckle housing of each articulating arm assembly includes a plurality of optical connector arrays configured to mate with corresponding optical connector arrays of a different articulating arm assembly. Each knuckle housing may further include at least one retention feature configured to retain coupling of a knuckle housing with a corresponding knuckle housing.

Abstract: In some examples, a receiving bay includes a first heat transfer member that is moveable along a first axis, and a retainer to restrict movement of the first heat transfer member along a second axis different from the first axis. The first heat transfer member is to contact a second heat transfer member of a device when inserted in the receiving bay, the first heat transfer member moveable along the first axis by the contact with the second heat transfer member as the device is inserted in the receiving bay.

Abstract: A modular optical connector system is provided for connecting a plurality of different rack enclosures, separate racks, and/or sets of racks. A first plenum has a receptacle configured to connect with a plug in a second plenum. The receptacle comprises a plurality of receptacle sub-housings, each receptacle sub-housing comprising an array of optical ferrules configured to mate with corresponding optical ferrules in a plurality of plug sub-housings of the plug. Each plug sub-housing having a lever tab rotatably connected and configured to mate with mating components on the corresponding receptacle sub-housing. Each sub-housing pair remaining unconnected after the receptacle and plug are mated, each sub-housing pair being independently mated.
