Abstract: An electronic module cage for receiving an electronic module (such as a pluggable optical module (POM)), includes a cage body mounted to a printed circuit board (PCB), the cage body having a first opening configured to receive an electronic module, the cage body comprising a spring feature, the spring feature configured to apply a biasing pressure to the electronic module in a direction away from the printed circuit board and toward a heat dissipating element such that a surface of the electronic module contacts the heat dissipating element through a second opening in the cage body.

Abstract: An electronic system may include a housing and one or more electronic modules. The housing and electronic modules may be configured to allow different numbers and types of electronic modules to be attached to the exterior of the housing.

Abstract: Signals entering outside plant (OSP) telecommunications enclosures typically do so through weather tight connectors, with one connector mounted to the enclosure and a mating connector connected to a cable bringing the signals to the OSP housing. Such connectors are expensive and require extensive effort to connect the wires of a cable bundle to the connectors. These problems are avoided by allowing cables pre-installed with a cable seal and pre-terminated to cable connectors to pass through an opening in the wall of an OSP housing and seal the cable bundle to the housing to prevent the ingress of environmental elements into the housing through the opening. This permits easier installation and retrofitting of electronic equipment contained within the housing.

Abstract: A protector block assembly interfaces a plurality of subscriber lines to communication equipment, such as digital subscriber line (DSL) modems. The assembly has a protector block into which surge protection modules are plugged. Each surge protection module limits the current that may pass from a respective subscriber line to communication equipment protected by the assembly. When plugged into the protector block, the surge protection modules are oriented such that crosstalk interference from the protector block is canceled thereby reducing the amount of crosstalk introduced by the protector block.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for mounting electrical equipment on a wall. A mounting plate is mounted on the wall. The mounting plate includes a lip defining a linear channel extending across the front of the mounting plate. An equipment enclosure includes a complementary upward extending hanger for engaging the linear channel. A ground strip is attached to the wall plate below the linear channel. The equipment enclosure can be positioned at any point along the length of the linear channel by engaging its complementary hanger therewith and pivoting the enclosure downward until its rear surface engages the mounting plate and a grounding lug thereof engages the ground strip.
