  • Patent number: 10203467
    Abstract: Monitoring and access control systems for network communication equipment of a network facility. A login device, to receive a credential of a user, is associated with a piece of network communication equipment arrangeable in a network facility. A monitor device is associated with the piece of network communication equipment to receive data associated with an access of the piece of network communication equipment. And, the data associated with the access of the piece of network communication equipment is auditable by a party to provide accountability of services performed on the piece of network communication equipment arrangeable in the network facility. A security device arranged with the piece of network communication equipment may un-lock or lock a portion of the piece of network communication equipment based at least in part on the credential received from the user.

  • Patent number: 10152852
    Abstract: An optical fiber cord management system and method is provided to monitor and manage optical fiber cords locations in telecommunication equipment. The system may comprise an antenna to receive a radio signal propagated from an optical fiber cord, and a processor, in communication with the antenna, to receive radio signal data. The processor may determine if the radio signal data matches a modulated radio signal. If the processor determines that the radio signal data associated with the radio signal matches the modulated radio signal, the processor causes a luminescent member to illuminate.

  • Patent number: 9904028
    Abstract: A splice tray is removeably received in a chassis received in an access side of a frame. In some examples, the splice tray can have a capacity to receive at least about 288 fiber terminations. The frame having a first fiber management bay arranged at a middle of a back of the access side of the frame, a fiber passageway is arranged between a back of the chassis and the back of the access side of the frame, and a second fiber management bay is be arranged adjacent to the left side or right side of the frame proximate to the splice tray. A displaceable conduit communicatively coupled to a left side or a right side of the splice tray proximate to the front of the splice tray is protectively housed in the first fiber management bay, the fiber passageway, and the second fiber management bay such that the fiber terminations received by the displaceable conduit have at least a minimum bend radius.

  • Patent number: 9419474
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques and architectures for gradually transitioning from voltage supplied by a primary power source to voltage supplied by a secondary power source. In particular implementations, a voltage control circuit is used to transition voltage across a load to be supplied by the secondary power source. The voltage control circuit may include a first circuit and a second circuit connected in parallel. The first circuit may include the primary power source connect to the load, while the second circuit may include the secondary power source connected to one or more field-effect transistors. The one or more field-effect transistors may be controlled to cause current of the secondary power source to be gradually transferred to the load. This may result in a transfer of the voltage across the load to be supplied by the secondary power source.

  • Patent number: 9232669
    Abstract: A data center rack door having a curved permeable member is disposed vertically along a front-face of a data center rack. The curved permeable member provides an increase in surface area that provides for additional openings, increasing airflow through the data center rack. The curved permeable member also provides an increase in volume of space in the data center rack.
