Abstract: Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports are often employed in telecommunications hardware to take advantage of their lower profile and to provide connections to other network elements. The use of SFP ports has increased the density of ports possible for a given circuit board size, but this increase has previously meant that individual ports are difficult to access. Also, identification of those ports is frustrated by a lack of free space to place labeling. Example embodiments of the present invention address these issues by placing a divider plate between columns of SFP ports that provides surface area adjacent to the SFP ports for affixing labeling. The divider plate is offset from the SFP ports to allow access when the plate is installed. As a result, hardware employing embodiments of the present invention can achieve a higher density of SFP ports with ease of access by personnel assembling or servicing the hardware.

Abstract: A docking station for a portable communication device includes a body portion and a guide portion which is formed to accommodate various exterior shapes of the portable communication device and detachably coupled to the portable communication device.

Abstract: Docking stations with a moveable connector that is more durable are provided.

The rotatable connector may be biased to keep the portable electronic device in an upright position such that the electronic device is supported by a rear reference surface of the docking station, thereby preventing undue strain on the rotatable connector in the upright position and inhibiting movement forward. The rotatable connector may be partly below an outer shell of the docking station, and pivot at the outer shell, thereby reducing possible damage to parts below the outer shell. The rotatable connector may also retract when rotated, thereby removing a force that can break the connector at a position of full rotation forward.
