International Classification:

H01R 2404

US Classification:

439668

Abstract:

A modular cross-connect includes a chassis configured to receive a plurality of cross-connect modules therein and having a front face and a rear cover. A plurality of fixed portions of cross-connect modules are mounted in the chassis such that rear facing connectors of each of the fixed portions extend outward from the rear cover of the chassis. Each fixed portion has a front-facing connector configured to mate with a rear-facing connector of a corresponding removable portion of a cross-connect module. A plurality of reversible slots are formed in the chassis. Each slot is configured to receive a removable portion of a cross-connect module and to align a rear-facing connector of a removable portion of a cross-connect module for connection with a front-facing connector of a fixed portion of a cross-connect module. A plurality of doors are at the front face of the chassis, each door corresponding to one of the plurality of slots and being pivotally mounted for rotation about an axis parallel to a width of the chassis. Insertion of a removable portion of a cross-connect module into one of the plurality of slots causes a corresponding one of the plurality of doors to pivot about the axis to permit entry of the removable portion of the cross-connect module into the chassis.

International Classification:

H01R003/30

US Classification:

439489, 439491, 439315, 439318, 439286

Abstract:

A connector system allows for visual determination of mating or engagement of a jack-side connector and a plug-side connector. A jack-side connector has a first securing device and a plug-side connector having a sleeve rotatably coupled thereto. The sleeve has a second securing device that is complementary to the first securing device and an indicator located on an edge of the sleeve. The indicator is contrasted against a characteristic (e. g. , color, material, etc. ) of a portion (e. g. , a washer) of the connector system to provide visual indication that the first securing device is securely engaged with the second securing device.

US Classification:

174100, 174 683, 174 681, 385134, 385135, 439719, 361826

Abstract:

A vertical cable manager includes a base, an interconnected double-spine assembly topped by a top frame, and a pair of doors. The double-spine assembly is supported by the base. Each door is removably coupled at each lower corner to the base and at each upper corner to the top frame, thus permitting each door to be opened or hinged along either of its lateral sides or removed entirely. The double-spine assembly may support selectively repositionable mounting members, which may in turn support a large cable spool, a selectively repositionable shelf-mounted handle spool assembly, and various other cable management accessories.
