Abstract: A method of delivering cables for a data center comprises: collecting information for different cables needed in a room of the data center, wherein the information includes cable type, length, and intended location data; determining groups of the different cables for bundling together at the data center based on the information; and for at least one of the groups, supplying the different cables for the group together as a common unit.

Abstract: An interconnect system for a building includes a pre-terminated trunk cable assembly that has different groups of optical fibers carried by subunits and terminated by ferrules. The interconnect system also includes trays for managing interconnections with the ferrules. A plurality of adapters are disposed on each tray and arranged in a direction along a longitudinal axis of the tray. The adapters may be oriented at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis to facilitate routing of the optical fibers. At least one tray mount receiver may also be provided on each tray to cooperate with a tray mount that can secure a select subunit to the tray.

Abstract: A configurator design tool is provided to facilitate the manufacture of pre-configured multi-fiber optical cable and loaded optical fiber cable storage reels. The configurator design tool also facilitates the configuration of fiber-optic data centers or other types of fiber-optic infrastructure. The present disclosure also contemplates methodology for manufacturing pre-configured multi-fiber optical cable and loaded optical fiber cable storage reels, and for configuring fiber-optic data centers or other types of fiber-optic infrastructure. Additional embodiments relate to contemplated pre-configured multi-fiber optical cable loaded optical fiber cable storage reels, and to fiber-optic data centers or other types of fiber-optic infrastructures.

Abstract: An evaporative cooling apparatus is provided that may be quickly deployed to cool an area. The apparatus is preferably self-contained or substantially self-contained. The apparatus can be either a dedicated trailer with a conventional draft vehicle or a vehicle itself or a permanently dedicated apparatus. The apparatus creates an evaporatively cooled volume of air with fine entrained water droplets suspended therein. The apparatus transfers the cooling suspension to an area to be cooled proximate the apparatus.
