Abstract: The present invention provides modular trays having cutout features that are configured to engage with a mounting feature of one or more removable rails. The removable rails may be removably secured to a tray body in a plurality of positions to allow a user to install or uninstall rails to support different sized fiber optic modules. For example, a tray may support a twenty-four optical fiber module, two twelve optical fiber modules, or three eight optical fiber modules. Fiber optic enclosures housing the trays can be affixed to the outside of a fiber optic enclosure and allow for easy stacking and unstacking.

Abstract: Methods for estimating the Effective Modal Bandwidth (EMB) of laser optimized Multimode Fiber (MMF) at a specified wavelength, ?S, based on the measured EMB at a first reference measurement wavelength, ?M. In these methods the Differential Mode Delay (DMD) of a MMF is measured and the Effective Modal Bandwidth (EMB) is computed at a first measurement wavelength. By extracting signal features such as centroids, peak power, pulse widths, and skews, as described in this disclosure, the EMB can be estimated at a second specified wavelength with different degrees of accuracy. The first method estimates the EMB at the second specified wavelength based on measurements at the reference wavelength. The second method predicts if the EMB at the second specified wavelength is equal or greater than a specified bandwidth limit.

Abstract: A wire guide assembly is provided for the accurate labeling of different diameter elongated objects, wires, or cables within a wrapping mechanism of an elongated object label applicator. The label applicator guide permits elongated objects of different diameters to be placed within substantially the center of the wrapping mechanism to continuously facilitate proper application of a label to different sized elongated objects.

Abstract: A system and method for optimizing a display layout of multiple video streams at a sink device is provided. The display layout of multiple streams may be dynamically optimized based on a number of different variables, including characteristics of the sink device, total number of active incoming streams, active audio, and other characteristics of the source material or device. The source of an incoming media stream may contain useful characteristics for optimizing the display layout of multiple media streams. One such characteristic of a source device may include the device type, such as laptop, PC, phone, or tablet. Information may be extracted from each incoming stream in order to predict a source device type from which the incoming media stream originates.

Abstract: A sensor device may include an environmental sensor configured to sense an environmental parameter and generate a signal representative thereof, a single pair ethernet (SPE) interface configured to cooperate with an SPE link, and a controller provided in communication with the environmental sensor and the SPE interface. The controller may be configured to receive the signal representative of the sensed environmental parameter and to control the SPE interface to generate at least one ethernet frame including data indicative of the sensed environmental parameter for transmission over the SPE link. The controller may be further configured to automatically configure communication with a remote server over the SPE link via the SPE interface.

Abstract: A mechanism used to select a label size to be applied to a cable in a label applicator. The mechanism includes an index plate, an index arm, and a wedge carrier. The index arm is pivotably mounted to the index plate and the wedge carrier is mounted to the index plate. The wedge carrier has guide rollers that dictate a label path. The index arm moves the index plate which linearly moves the wedge carrier thereby adjusting the label path in the label applicator.

Abstract: A bracket secured to adjacent cable baskets to form a cable routing pathway. The bracket includes a splice and a locking latch slidingly secured to the splice. The splice has a base with a top, a bottom, a first end, and a second end. The first end member extends from the first end of the base and a second end member extends from the second end of the base. The first end member and the second end member each include a vertical slot. The locking latch extends through the vertical slot of the first end member and the vertical slot of the second end member to secure the splice to the adjacent cable baskets.

Abstract: A wrap bracket formed from a strap and a clamp to secure a cable bundle to a support. The strap includes an intermediate portion, a first portion extending from the intermediate portion in a first direction and a second portion extending away from the intermediate portion in a second direction opposite the first direction. The second portion engages the first portion to mount the strap to the support. The clamp includes a base that is secured to the intermediate portion of the strap. A first tab and a second tab extend in opposite directions away from the base. The first and second tabs wrap around the cable bundle to secure the cable bundle to the base.

Abstract: A system and method for detecting the connectivity of an absence of voltage detector to the source of power to be detected has a first terminal wire connected to a first terminal and a second terminal wire also connected to the first terminal. An RF signal is placed on the first terminal and then its presence is detected on the second signal wire. This method and system can also be placed on each phase of a three phase system.

Abstract: A label applicator guide including a base configured to be attached to an elongated object label applicator, and a controller including a first support extending from the base and a second support extending from the first support such that the first support is configured to be planar with a portion of the wrapping mechanism. The controller is moveably secured to the base through a first knuckle of the controller pivotably connected to a second knuckle of the base, with a pin extending through the first knuckle and second knuckle.

Abstract: An inlet duct system includes a duct body having a bottom wall and two side walls having at least one opening. An adjustable internal baffle is secured to the duct body such that the internal baffle can be positioned in multiple locations within an internal cavity defined by the duct body, inhibiting the flow of air between a front portion and a rear portion of the internal cavity. A first side duct is removably attached to the duct body and forms an air flow chamber that receives a fluid from an opening in one of the side walls and delivers the fluid above the duct body. A first side baffle is positioned within the air flow chamber, adjacent the internal baffle, inhibiting the flow of air between a front portion and a rear portion of the air flow chamber.
