20080286987 | Telecommunication connectivity system - A telecommunications connectivity system including a patch panel comprising a plurality of ports, each port including first and second electrical terminals, the first electrical terminal enabling at least one data communications standard not enabled by the second electrical terminal. The telecommunications connectivity system also includes a terminal selection system including a terminal selector that houses an electrical connector. The terminal selector may be installed in one of the ports such that the electrical connector connects to either the first or second electrical terminal, as preselected. The telecommunications connectivity system also includes a wall receptacle system electrically connected to each of the ports, the wall receptacle system including first and second jacks, the first jack enabling at least one data communications standard not enabled by the second jack. | 11-20-2008 |
20100080203 | Method and Apparatus for Providing Wireless Communications Within a Building - A wireless distribution secured cabling system includes faceplates, each of which contains an antenna or other radiating element and an active amplifier, which serves as a bi-directional repeater for the wireless communication system. The system further includes a patch panel or distribution module which connects multiple cables, which may be either twisted pair or coaxial, to amplifier, acting as a power divider and/or an impedance matching device. An antenna, which may be mounted either outside of a building structure or inside the building structure, provides communications between the structured cabling system and a service provider base station. | 04-01-2010 |

20130121657 | High Density Telecommunications Patching System and Cassettes - A telecommunications patching system is provided having a panel and at least one cassette movably received in the panel. The cassette receives a plurality of telecommunication jacks. The panel and cassettes are oriented horizontally. Each jack includes a front cavity adapted to receive a patch cord plug having a patch cord cable extending therefrom. The cassette has first and second ends. A cable management tab extends from the first end of the cassette so that the cassette may be readily moved to different positions in the panel. | 05-16-2013 |
20140049881 | Electrical Equipment Cabinet Having Improved Thermal Characteristics and Cable Management - An electrical equipment cabinet encloses a rack supporting equipment and cables connected to the electrical equipment. The rack and the cabinet define a gap between the rack and at least one side wall of the cabinet. The cabinet includes a thermal barrier fitting within the gap and defining a channel for cables. The thermal barrier includes a bracket connecting to the cabinet a channel side wall extending from the bracket, and a hinged panel connected to the channel side wall. The equipment cabinet may utilize a plurality of the thermal barriers to eliminate warm air bypass routes within the cabinet that deteriorate the cooling effect of air blowing across the equipment from front to back of the cabinet. Temperatures sensors and fens may be incorporated into the cabinet for additional temperature control. The thermal barriers and the control system may be part of a kit used retrofit existing cabinets. | 02-20-2014 |
20150219858 | Fiber Optic Connectivity System - A fiber optic connectivity system for fiber optic cable management comprising a main chassis surrounding an interior cavity and including a main opening and a plurality of access points; a door assembly adjacent to the main opening including at least one mounting accessory aperture that is sized and configured for engaged receipt of a mounting accessory component, and said door assembly being selectively positionable between a closed position and an open position for accessing the interior cavity; a tray supported on a rail on the interior facing surface of the main chassis, and the tray being selectively slideable upon the rail; a plurality of grommets each being integrally secured within a respective one of the access points, and each of the grommets being sized and configured for passage of at least one cable therethrough; and an adapter bracket on the tray being sized and configured for accommodating at least one fiber optic adapter plate thereon. | 08-06-2015 |
20150263462 | High Density Telecommunications Patching System and Cassettes - A telecommunications patching system is provided having a panel and at least one cassette movably received in the panel. The cassette receives a plurality of telecommunication connector jacks. Each jack has a front cavity adapted to receive a patch cord plug having a patch cord cable extending therefrom. The cassette has first and second ends. A tab extends from and is attached to the first end of the cassette such that the cassette may readily be moved to different positions in the panel. The tab includes a first cable guide. | 09-17-2015 |
