Abstract: An overhead electrical grounding mesh and mechanical grid structure for a data center includes a plurality of orthogonally arranged grid beams. Each of the grid beams is a rigid and electrically conductive grid beam to provide an overhead structure configured to be positioned over electronic equipment in the data center. The grid structure is configured to provide support for electronic equipment connected to the grid structure and to provide support for mechanical equipment in the data center that is connected to the grid structure. The grid structure is further adapted to be electrically coupled to the electronic equipment to provide an electrically conductive ground mesh for the electronic equipment in the data center.

Abstract: An overhead infrastructure platform includes at least one horizontal support member configured to be positioned over equipment racks contained in a data center. The overhead infrastructure platform includes a module network formed by the interconnection, through a module interconnection bus, of a controller module, at least one power module and at least one I/O module. Each power module and each input/output module is physically attached to the horizontal support member proximate an equipment rack to which the module is electrically coupled.

Abstract: A communication cabling includes a shielding separator having an elongated center member extending along a dimensional length, and a plurality of elongated dividing members each extending along the dimensional length and extending from the elongated center member. The dividing members may have at least a portion being of an electrically conductive material and others may have conductive material layers adjacent thereto.

Abstract: Implementations of a discontinuous cable shield system and method include a shield having a multitude of separated shield segments dispersed along a length of a cable to reduce crosstalk between signals being transmitted on transmission lines, such as twisted wire pairs of a cable. The separated shield segments can serve as an incomplete, patch-worked, discontinuous, ‘granulated’ or otherwise perforated shield that can have effectiveness when applied as shielding for differential transmission lines such as with twisted wire pairs.

Abstract: To assist with patent searching the following description includes a control fixture system used for a controlled device that was originally designed to be controlled by a handheld remote. The control fixture system includes a control module with controls to allow input from a user to operate a controlled device located elsewhere. As mounted, the control module does not share the degree of vulnerability associated with handheld remotes of being misplaced, stolen, or permanently lost. Input modules can be located in the room to couple to audio and/or video sources. The input modules are communicatively coupled to the emitter module, which in turn is communicatively coupled to the controlled device to send audio and/or video signals from the sources to the controlled device.
