  • Publication number: 20150362092
    Abstract: Improved cable management spools for patch panel assemblies/patching systems are provided. The present disclosure provides improved systems/methods for the design and use of modular cable management spool assemblies configured to mount with respect to media patching systems (e.g., to patch panel assemblies configured to support multiple media connections). The modular cable management spools are configured to mount with respect to media patching systems and/or to related supporting structures (e.g., to cable management plates, to racks, etc.) for cable management purposes. Disclosed herein is a patching system utilizing modular cable management spools for cable management purposes, the patching system (e.g., high density patching system) configured to support copper-based and/or fiber optic connections in the same patching system/enclosure.

  • Publication number: 20140011437
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of a ventilating system for regulating a property of an electrical equipment cabinet are provided, generally including a duct configured and dimensioned to be mounted with respect to the electrical equipment cabinet. The exemplary ventilating system generally includes a damper mounted with respect to the duct and a sensor mounted with respect to at least one of the electrical equipment cabinet and the duct. The sensor is generally effective to generate signals related to the property. Exemplary methods for regulating a property of an electrical equipment cabinet with a ventilating system are provided, generally including throttling the damper based at least in part upon a sensed property to maintain a substantially zero pressure or temperature environment in the electrical equipment cabinet.
