Abstract: A wall-mountable outlet comprising an enclosure and a faceplate mechanically coupled to the enclosure. An optical network terminal (ONT) is provided in the enclosure. In one example embodiment, the ONT comprises an optical-electrical (O-E) data module, and the O-E data module comprises an O-E converter. The O-E data module can further comprise a switch arranged to selectively couple at least one signal with the O-E converter. The O-E data module further can comprise a Passive Optical Network (PON) controller interposed between the O-E converter and the switch.

Abstract: The present invention provides an automated configuration system and method for electronics enclosures. The system receives user requirements generates a configuration including placement schedule, power usage schedules and heat flow schedules. Included as output of the system is a bill of materials, an equipment layout drawing and pricing based on predetermined material and labor pricing. Methods for generating a configuration are described that include iteratively repeating combinations of the steps of generating design rules, deriving a placement schedule, mapping the distribution of power usage within the enclosure and producing a heat flow analysis. Processes used to generate the configuration can be controlled by design rules derived from user requirements.

Abstract: A backplane in a power distribution shelf has power outputs connected to corresponding primary card slots and adjacent card slots. Power distribution cards are seated in the card slots. A maintenance card can be configured to selectively provide redundant power to the power outputs of a failed power distribution circuit card via an adjacent power distribution circuit card and a maintenance connection.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for measuring the airflow velocity within a chamber in order to qualify electronic equipment based on airflow velocity in combination with temperature rating. Furthermore, a system and method are disclosed for measuring and monitoring the airflow velocity at various positions within an equipment assembly rack during operation in order to determine the position of and eliminate hot-spots that occur based on temperature and airflow velocity tolerance parameters.

Abstract: A housing (10) for a cooling fan (56) includes a first side wall (12) and a second side wall (14) separated by a front wall (16). A first wall portion (22) extends from the first side wall (22) toward the second side wall (14) and opposite from the front wall (16). A second wall portion (26) extends from the second side wall (14) toward the first side wall (12) and opposite from the front wall (16). A first flexible member (30) on the first wall portion (22) extends along the first side wall (12) and is arched toward the front wall (16). A second flexible member (32) on the second wall portion (26) extends along the second side wall (14) and is arched toward the front wall (16). A cooling fan (56) is inserted into the housing (10), compressing the first flexible member (30) and the second flexible member (32) that force the cooling fan (56) against the front wall (16). The front wall (16) may include tabs (42, 46, 48, 50) to enhance the ability to secure the cooling fan (56) within the housing (10).

Abstract: The built-in cooling system (12) is located centrally in the cabinet enclosure (10) and includes at least one plenum (22) having an interior chamber mounted in a roof area (24) of the enclosure (10). The plenum (22) is in fluid isolation from the air within the enclosure (10), but has at least one vent (66) being in fluid association with the ambient air outside of the enclosure (10). The plenum (22) is coupled to a heat exchanger column (20) located centrally in the enclosure (10) with an internal air passageway (78) with intake and exit ports (70, 72), and having an external air passageway (76) with intake and exit ports. The external air passageway (76) is in fluid association with the chamber of the plenum (22). At least one heat sink (40) is mounted above the electronic equipment in the plenum (22) between the external air passageway exit port (48) and the vent (66) of the plenum (22).
