Abstract:

An male modular connector (e.g., 8P8C) has a first set of electrical contacts on a first side and a second set of electrical contacts on an opposite, second side; and an elongated housing (in comparison to the IEC standards) so as to allow for the retaining clip of the male modular connector to be shifted farther back so as to not interfere with the connection between the pins and the electrical contacts of a female modular connector.A network switch has a non-cuboidal housing comprising two or more sidewalls, each sidewall comprising a plurality of female connectors (such as 8P8C, 16P16C, fiber optic, or other connector); and wherein some or all of the female connectors are parallel to the sides of the cabinet.The network switch is mounted from the front of the cabinet, with cables running horizontally to other cabinets and various mechanisms for protecting, organizing and managing the cables.
