Handset with cradle

Electronic device

An apparatus and method for preventing incorrect insertion of individual plugs into multiple connector ports is provided. A cable bundle is provided for the purpose. The cable bundle includes a plurality of cables and at least one slider. The slider holds the plurality of cables within the cable bundle in a required sequence. The slider can be positioned along the length of the cable bundle to determine the distance between the ends of the cables. This adjusted length and the sequence in which the plurality of cables are held, prevents incorrect insertion of individual cables into connector ports. The cable bundle may include a guide.

Apparatus and method for prevention of incorrect insertion of cable bundle

A circuit board includes a first circuit board section which is configured to support a set of light emitting diodes, a second circuit board section which is configured to support high-speed electronic circuitry, and a boundary section which defines an EMI boundary between the first circuit board section and the second circuit board section. The boundary section includes a set of outer surface elongated ground strips configured to form an EMI seal onto which a set of EMI shields is capable of mounting. In some arrangements, the set of outer surface elongated ground strips take the form of metallic bands (e.g., layers of copper). Such bands can be integrated into the circuit board itself (e.g., during PCB fabrication), or added onto one or more of the circuit board surfaces (e.g., after PCB fabrication).

Module assembly

A network device includes card slots and Network Module slots that be reconfigured to hold cards and network modules having different form factors.

Slot adapter for reconfiguring slots in a network device

A router includes WIC and Network Module slots that be reconfigured to hold cards and network modules having different form factors. A motherboard/midplane arrangement provides for a field replaceable motherboard that can be replaced without removing the router from the rack.

Network device

A card based telecommunications system, which includes a chassis. A plurality of card guides positioned in an operable relationship within said chassis. A tab member proximate to each of the card guides to occupy a substantial portion of a first space to prevent a first card from entering the first space and contacting a second card.
