  • Patent number: 11199669
    Abstract: A faceplate optical sub-assembly is provided for accommodating a plurality of optical receptacles mounted in a faceplate of a computing device. The faceplate optical sub-assembly accommodates one or more optical receptacle housings having optically-connected front and rear optical bays. A collar having a single aperture surrounds the one or more optical bays, and a shell structure comprised of a pair of interlocking sub-shells engages on the rear of the collar. A gasket is disposed between the collar and the shell structure. The collar, gasket, and shell structure provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding for optical connections made between optical fibers inserted in the front and rear optical bays, and rigidly engage the plurality of optical receptacle housings. The single aperture of the collar and the multi-part shell structure allows for insertion of a fiber jumper assembly into the rear bays of the faceplate optical sub-assembly prior to insertion into a faceplate of a computing device.

  • Patent number: 10498619
    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a subsystem is provided. The subsystem includes a signal driver/receiver capable of sending and receiving data and signals over a passive cable. The subsystem includes a connection discovery engine to access a low-level enable or disable control of the signal driver/receiver and a low-level loss-of-signal (LOS) control of the signal driver/receiver. The connection discovery engine modulates the enable or disable control to send a local unique ID of the signal driver/receiver over the passive cable. The connection discovery engine monitors timings of transitions on the LOS control to receive, over the passive cable, a remote unique ID of a signal driver/receiver in a second subsystem connected by the passive cable.
