Abstract:
A method and apparatus for matching the lengths of traces of differential signal pairs. The method includes determining that a first trace is longer than a second trace and modifying the second trace so that the length is substantially equal to the length of the first trace. In some implementations, the second trace can be modified by replacing one or more sections of the trace with two line segments that are substantially equal in length and meet at a vertex that is less than 180 degrees.
Abstract:
A single-motion trigger line card insertion/removal tool uses a handle and a spring-loaded sliding trigger to allow a technician to grab the line card insertion/removal tool with their thumb and pointer fingers, and pull the trigger while rotating the handle to eject the line card from a network device. The motion of pulling the trigger simultaneously unlocks the line card insertion/removal tool, starts the rotation of the handle with the spring load, and closes a “window” on an optical switch breaking a continuous beam of light that software interprets as a warning that the line card will be removed momentarily. When the line card insertion/removal tool handle is rotated back to a closed position (i.e. while inserting the card), the spring tension pulls the trigger back to its original position, locking the line card insertion/removal tool handle, and opening the window for to the beam of light in the optical switch.
Abstract:
Embodiments relate generally to network system and apparatus for heat management of high volume network devices. More specifically, disclosed are system and apparatus that provide for improving heat dissipation of the network devices through improved air circulations, including a PCB with at least one slot and a connector cage mounted on the printed circuit board, the connector cage being within a certain distance from the at least one slot in the PCB.

Abstract:
A rack mounting kit is configured to allow mounting of a telecommunications equipment chassis into a rack by a single person. The rack mounting kit includes two complimentary brackets that form a shelf-like feature. The complimentary brackets also include a mating latch for interfacing with a chassis to secure the chassis in place. Additionally, a cross brace is provided that is removably installed onto the two complimentary brackets to provide additionally rigidity to a rack while a chassis is being installed. The cross brace can be removed once installation of the chassis is complete.
