An apparatus for managing cables and configured to attach to a side of an electronic device is disclosed. The apparatus has a first planar member which has a plurality of attach points that match a plurality of attach points on an electronic device. The first planar member defines an aperture at least as large as a cable to be attached to the electronic device. The apparatus also has a second planar member parallel to the first planar member. The second planar member has a plurality of attach points that match a plurality of attach points on the electronic device. Additionally, the apparatus has a first support bar connected to and positioned normal to the first planar member and the second planar member.

An apparatus for guiding air through electronic components is disclosed. The apparatus has an intake, a transition portion, and a focused egress. The transition portion is connected to the intake and defines a channel. The channel has a generally ‘u’ shaped cross-section and a first edge and a second edge configured to be positioned substantially opposing a surface. The focused egress is connected to the transition portion.

A fan module is disclosed. The fan module includes a base, at least one first side coupled to the base, and a plurality of fans coupled to the base. The plurality of fans are configured to substantially disperse thermal energy away from one or more electronic components in an enclosure to maintain a current temperature of the one or more electronic components below a critical temperature. The fan module further includes a connector mounted on the at least one first side and coupled to provide power to the plurality of fans. When one of the plurality of fans ceases to operate, the remaining fans in the plurality of fans continue to substantially disperse thermal energy away from the one or more electronic components while maintaining the current temperature below the critical temperature.

A method for switching digital signals is disclosed. From an external control connection, the method configures a plurality of digital signal paths with at least one crossbar switch and controls a plurality of input and output connections for the digital signals based on the crossbar switch configuration. The method further involves automatically revising the digital signal routing without manual intervention based on configuration commands from the external control connection.

Redundant facility payload signals (12, 14) received by redundant interface modules (16, 18) are redundantly provided (28, 30; 32, 34) to redundant downstream modules (24, 26) in an equipment (10). A non-symmetrical facility protection algorithm is resident in the B interface module (18). Symmetrical equipment protection algorithms are independently resident and operative in each module of pairs of identical A and B modules at each stage of the data stream. Module or data failures result in switchover only of the disabled data path or module so that the ability to transport payload is maintained and other modules or data paths are unaffected. Facility switchover is effected by detecting a working line failure and transmitting commands to switch the protection line to the A path modules. Equipment switchover is effected by checking for a working or protection module failure independently in each path and independently communicating independent switchover decisions to the other side and downstream. The methodology and mechanism are disclosed in a SONET element embodiment, although the invention is applicable in other contexts.

Existing infrastructures such as DS1 or E1 are used at currently accepted rates to carry a third more information by using a hybrid encoding technique wherein a 4B3T encoding is done for the payload bits, while a 1B1T encoding technique is used for framing information. In this way, for example, a DS1 can be used at 1. 54 Mbit per second to carry 2. 058 Mbits of binary payload, while respecting the 8 kilobits of framing expected by DS1 hardware. Similarly, for example, an E1 infrastructure can be used at the accepted 2. 048 Mbit per second rate to carry 2. 560 Mbits of binary payload plus 128 kilobits of binary framing/CRC without having to change the accepted E1 framing techniques.

A virtual tributary (VT) or tributary unit (TU) of a selected size is multiplexed with transport overhead and further multiplexed with framing bandwidth of an underlying transport technology for providing a virtual tributary/tributary unit plus transport link overhead plus transport framing for transport on a selected transport technology. This enables individual virtual tributaries/tributary units to be transported with defined line overhead and using existing transport technology framing. Several examples of underlying transport technologies used in conjunction with selected transport formats for VT-1. 5 and VT-2 superframes are shown.
