A wall-mountable outlet comprising an enclosure and a faceplate mechanically coupled to the enclosure. An optical network terminal (ONT) is provided in the enclosure. In one example embodiment, the ONT comprises an optical-electrical (O-E) data module, and the O-E data module comprises an O-E converter. The O-E data module can further comprise a switch arranged to selectively couple at least one signal with the O-E converter. The O-E data module further can comprise a Passive Optical Network (PON) controller interposed between the O-E converter and the switch.

Delivery of GPON technology

The present invention provides an automated configuration system and method for electronics enclosures. The system receives user requirements generates a configuration including placement schedule, power usage schedules and heat flow schedules. Included as output of the system is a bill of materials, an equipment layout drawing and pricing based on predetermined material and labor pricing. Methods for generating a configuration are described that include iteratively repeating combinations of the steps of generating design rules, deriving a placement schedule, mapping the distribution of power usage within the enclosure and producing a heat flow analysis. Processes used to generate the configuration can be controlled by design rules derived from user requirements.

Mass customization configurator

A backplane in a power distribution shelf has power outputs connected to corresponding primary card slots and adjacent card slots. Power distribution cards are seated in the card slots. A maintenance card can be configured to selectively provide redundant power to the power outputs of a failed power distribution circuit card via an adjacent power distribution circuit card and a maintenance connection.

Power distribution system and method

A system and method are disclosed for measuring the airflow velocity within a chamber in order to qualify electronic equipment based on airflow velocity in combination with temperature rating. Furthermore, a system and method are disclosed for measuring and monitoring the airflow velocity at various positions within an equipment assembly rack during operation in order to determine the position of and eliminate hot-spots that occur based on temperature and airflow velocity tolerance parameters.

Apparatus and method for correlating the air flow velocity in an environmental chamber to a rack assembly

A vented pedestal for supporting a housing that encloses electronic components and connectors has top and bottom ends, a vertical passage and a peripheral wall. An inwardly extending recess in the peripheral wall adjacent the top end has a downwardly facing recess upper wall and a recess bottom wall. The recess upper wall has vent openings therein, and the recess bottom wall is shaped to enhance air flow into the vent openings while minimizing the possibility of debris collecting in the recess.
