Abstract: A crosstalk regulator for a cabinet includes a cable management component having a ring portion surrounding a central axis and a plurality of teeth protruding radially outward from the ring portion. The teeth define a plurality of slots distributed around a circumference of the ring portion. Each slot is defined between a pair of adjacent teeth and extends parallel to the central axis. Each tooth includes a first portion and a second portion, the first portion protrudes farther radially outward from the ring portion than the second portion. The cable management component is slidably disposed in the cabinet such that the second portion is disposed in the opening and the first portion is engaged to the cabinet to releasably retain the crosstalk regulator in the cabinet. Each slot routes one cable between controlled and external environments while maintaining a fixed distance between adjacent cables to regulate crosstalk among the cables.

Abstract: Systems and methods for maintaining base stations are provided. In this regard, a representative system, among others, includes a base station that is electrically connected to a first power source. The base station is configured to receive electric power from the first power source. The base station includes a wireless transmitter and a distress module that is configured to determine whether the base station lost the electrical connection to the first power source. The distress module is further configured to instruct the wireless transmitter to transmit a distress signal that includes information associated with the status of the base station responsive to determining that the electrical connection was lost between the first power source and the base station.

Abstract: Adaptive bandwidth management systems and methods are disclosed. An exemplary system comprises a network switching device including a plurality of physical ports and at least one switching fabric for managing connections between the physical ports. The system also includes a management processor operatively associated with the plurality of physical ports and the at least one switching fabric. The system also includes program code stored in computer-readable storage and executable by the management processor, the program code configuring the network switching device to conserve electrical energy based on the current bandwidth requirements.
