Abstract: The assembly includes a docking console and a manifold. The docking console includes a cartridge support surface having a first end and a second end. The manifold has one or more wells defined therein. The docking console further includes a manifold retention bracket to releasably hold the manifold against a fluid cartridge supported on the cartridge support surface at an interface position such that the one or more wells are in fluid communication with the fluid cartridge and a biased seal bar to press the fluid cartridge against the manifold held by the manifold retention bracket. A hydrophilic porous frit disposed within at least one of the wells and is to permit liquid to flow through the outlet aperture but prevent gas from passing through the outlet aperture.

Abstract: A telecommunication panel may comprise a chassis configured to receive insertable Digital Signal Cross-connect (DSX) modules and a backplane connected to the chassis. The DSX module is compact to fit into the telecommunication panel. A ratio of the number of the insertable 6-port DSX modules over the backplane surface area at least about 0.37 modules per square inch is achieved. The DSX module may include a printed circuit board and a light emitting diode (LED) light pipe on the printed circuit board to minimize the width of the DSX module. The DSX module may be inserted into the telecommunication panel horizontally or vertically so that the telecommunication panel receives a maximum number of DSX modules.
