Abstract: Channels and channel covers for linear lighting are disclosed. The channels have an upper compartment for linear lighting and a lower compartment that may be used as a raceway, to engage parts, and for rear entry of wires. Endcaps for the channels may engage the lower compartment. Cover-lenses for linear lighting channels are also disclosed. The cover-lenses may include diffusing material and implement a thickness gradient in order to maximize the amount of diffusing material where the emitted light intensity is expected to be greatest. Diverging Fresnel features may be superimposed on the thickness gradient in order to counteract any converging effect of the thickness gradient and cause emitted light to spread more evenly.

Abstract: Systems and apparatuses are provided in which outlets are coupled to a power distribution unit (PDU) or PDU module in various configurations. The outlets may be coupled to a recessed surface within a PDU housing. The outlets may be coupled to a printed circuit board that is at least partially disposed within the PDU housing. The outlets may extend away from the recessed surface or printed circuit board towards or beyond a front face of the PDU housing.

Abstract: A linear luminaire is disclosed. The linear luminaire includes a channel, in which a strip of linear lighting is disclosed. The strip of linear lighting may have an individual optic positioned over each LED light engine. A set of louvers is provided. The set of louvers is arranged such that an individual louver is positioned over each one of the LED light engines. The individual louvers are generally cylindrical in shape. The individual louvers are connected by a web or platform that carries engaging structure allowing the set of louvers to snap or slide into the channel. The channel is covered with a channel cover, which has edges that extend out over at least a portion of the channel sidewalls, making it more difficult for dust and other foreign matter to enter the channel. The channel cover may be transparent.

Abstract: Encapsulated linear lighting with improved light diffusion is disclosed. The encapsulated linear lighting includes a channel and a long narrow strip of printed circuit board (PCB) with light engines disposed off-center on the PCB. The PCB is installed along a bottom inner surface of a sidewall of the channel so that the light engines are adjacent a bottom of the channel. The encapsulated linear lighting includes a covering that encapsulates and protects the PCB.

Abstract: An adapter for interconnecting a power distribution unit (PDU) to electrical equipment. The adapter can include a first connector mateable with an outlet of the PDU and a second connector in electrical communication with the first connector. The second connector is mateable with a power input of the electrical equipment. PDU interface circuitry incorporating an optical interface can be housed in the first connector for communicating one or more electrical parameters of the electrical equipment to the PDU when the first connector is mated with the outlet of the PDU.

Abstract: Systems and apparatuses are provided in which outlets are coupled to a power distribution unit (PDU) or PDU module in various configurations. The outlets may be coupled to a recessed surface within a PDU housing. The outlets and recessed surface may be formed as part of a single mold. The outlets may be coupled to a printed circuit board that is at least partially disposed within the PDU housing. The outlets may extend away from the recessed surface or printed circuit board towards or beyond a front face of the PDU housing.

Abstract: In a network data center, systems and methods which reduce the number and duration of power interruption events resulting from over-current and short-circuit conditions are disclosed. The systems and methods shift loads between electrical phases effectively balancing the utilization of phases, as well as pre-empting circuit breaker and fuse trips through intelligent monitoring and remote control.

Abstract: A combination outlet connector is disclosed. The combination outlet connector includes an outlet core having three T-shaped apertures. The outlet core has a core outer surface to mate with a first connector type, such as a C14 connector, and electrical terminals are positioned in corresponding apertures. A removable adapter sleeve is positionable around the outlet core and has a sleeve outer surface to mate with a second connector type, such as a C20 connector. The adapter sleeve includes a sleeve aperture at least partially congruent with the core outer surface. The electrical terminals are configured to connect with mating terminals of the first and second connector types. A removable adapter shroud can be positioned around the outlet core. The shroud includes a shroud inner surface to receive the first connector type and a shroud flange having a shroud aperture at least partially congruent with the core outer surface.

Abstract: Connectors for linear lighting are disclosed. These connectors are adapted to electrically connect two strips of linear lighting, or a single strip of linear lighting and an appropriate number of wires. At least the portions of the connectors that accept the strips of linear lighting have sloped ramps that provide strain relief to the strips of linear lighting. Additionally, pivoting connectors that allow their sides to rotate relative to one another are disclosed.

Abstract: LED simulated neon with a reinforcing member is disclosed. The simulated neon has a flexible covering with a translucent upper portion and an opaque lower portion. At least the lower portion is filled with a transparent, flexible material. A channel is formed in the transparent, flexible material. Linear lighting is provided in the channel, along with a reinforcing member. The reinforcing member is shaped and oriented such that it can bend in the primary bending plane of the simulated neon but provides strain relief and at least partially restricts or interferes with bending in other planes. The reinforcing member may, for example, have a rectangular cross-section, wider than it is thick. It may be made of plastic or metal, and its thickness may vary depending on the material of which it is made.
