Abstract:
The disclosed apparatus may include (1) an access surface that provides access to ports used to connect devices to a telecommunications network via the line card, (2) a back opposite the access surface, (3) a row of ports arranged along the access surface to house a set of transceivers, and (4) a recessed row of ports arranged along the access surface to house an additional set of transceivers, such that the recessed row of ports is recessed inward toward the back relative to the row of ports. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The disclosed apparatus may include (1) a faceplate that facilitates at least one connection between at least one communication cable and a line card that forwards traffic in connection with a network, (2) at least one heatsink that (A) is integrated into the faceplate and (B) absorbs heat dissipated by at least one electronic component included in the line card, and (3) at least one mount that (A) is integrated into the faceplate and (B) enables the electronic component to attach to the heatsink. Various other apparatuses and systems are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The disclosed apparatus may include at least one physical extension handle that connects to at least one ejector that facilitates securing a line card to a chassis of a telecommunications system and ejecting the line card from the chassis of the telecommunications system. The physical extension handle may, when connected to the ejector, extend the ejector such that a user is able to access the ejector by way of the physical extension handle to secure the line card to or eject the line card from the chassis of the telecommunications system using the physical extension handle. Additionally or alternatively, the physical extension handle may facilitate physically supporting one or more communication cables connected to the line card in a horizontal orientation such that the communication cables avoid hanging down vertically directly from the chassis. Various other apparatuses and systems are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A line card includes a metal frame that includes a front section, and a bottom section connected to the front section via an angled section, where the angled section results in an opening between the line card and a second line card, when the line card is installed above the second line card in a rack, and where the opening allows directed air to enter the rack from a front direction; a printed circuit board attached to the metal frame; and a group of front panel connectors attached to the front section of the metal frame.
Abstract:
An apparatus may include (1) a terminal connector configured to be electrically coupled to a power interface of a computing device, (2) an inline terminal block assembly that is independent of the terminal connector, (3) at least one terminal-side power cable configured to be electrically coupled between the terminal connector and the inline terminal block assembly, and (4) at least one distribution-side power cable configured to be electrically coupled between the inline terminal block assembly and a power distribution system.
