Patent number: 9635937Abstract: A rack mounting kit is configured to allow mounting of a telecommunications equipment chassis into a rack by a single person. The rack mounting kit includes two complimentary brackets that form a shelf-like feature. The complimentary brackets also include a mating latch for interfacing with a chassis to secure the chassis in place. Additionally, a cross brace is provided that is removably installed onto the two complimentary brackets to provide additionally rigidity to a rack while a chassis is being installed. The cross brace can be removed once installation of the chassis is complete.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2014Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Lin Shen, Maurilio De Nicolo, Mark Siechen, Timothy Lee

Patent number: 8462838Abstract: Various example embodiments are disclosed. According to one example embodiment, a small form factor pluggable (SFP or SFP+) module may include an equalizer and a logic controller. The equalizer may be configured to receive data, provide signal information to a logic controller based on the received data, equalize the data based on equalization instructions received from the logic controller, and transmit the equalized data. The logic controller may be configured to transmit the signal information received from the equalizer receive programming instructions provide the equalization instructions to the equalizer based on the programming instructions, receive control inputs associated with the data, and provide status outputs based on the control inputs and the programming instructions. The SFP or SFP+ module may be configured to plug into a small form factor (SFF) host connector.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2009Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Qinghua Chen, Maurilio De Nicolo, Stephen Ong, Richard Brooks, Liming Yin

Patent number: 7821379Abstract: A network node determines the suitability of coupled devices for being remotely line powered before actually powering them. The node scan its ports to determine which ports are coupled to devices. The node then interrogates the coupled devices. A unique discovery tone or bit pattern is generated and sent to devices coupled to ports. The node then monitors the port for a return signal. If there is a return signal, it is compared to the transmitted discovery signal. The signal will be identical after allowing for line losses if the coupled device is suitable for remote line powering. If the comparison yields a match, the network node supplies remote line power to the device.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2007Date of Patent: October 26, 2010Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Luca Cafiero, Maurilio De Nicolo, Thomas Edsall, Karl Nakamura, Soei-Shin Hang
