Abstract

Disclosed is a system for positioning fiber and electronics cables within a server room, which includes a wire-pulley system which includes a wire operably coupled to a first pulley wheel and a second pulley wheel. The wire is looped around the first and second pulley wheel such that a point in the wire is laterally movable between the first and second pulley wheels when the first and second pulley wheels are rotated. The system for positioning cables includes a cable carrier which is removably coupled to the point in the wire. The cable carrier includes a first panel, and a second panel hingedly coupled to the first panel. The first panel and second panel each include a plurality of receiving slots, where the receiving slots are configured to removably receive a distal end of various cables.

A system for positioning various cables within a server room, comprising:

a wire-pulley system comprising a wire operably coupled to a first pulley wheel and a second pulley wheel, wherein the wire is looped around the first and second pulley wheel such that a point in the wire is laterally movable between the first and second pulley wheels when the first and second pulley wheels are rotated;
and
a cable carrier, removably coupled to the point in the wire, the cable carrier comprising a first panel, and a second panel hingedly coupled to the first panel, wherein the first and second panels each comprise a plurality of receiving slots, wherein each of the plurality of receiving slots are configured to removably receive a distal end of various cables, wherein the first and second panels each comprise a distal edge, and each of the plurality of receiving slots comprise a distal opening at the respective distal edge, a closed proximal end, sidewalls therebetween, and an open top.

A cable carrier for attachment of various cables for positioning the cables, comprising:

a first panel, comprising a first plurality of receiving slots, configured to removably receive a plurality of cable connectors of cables, wherein each of the first plurality of receiving slots define a distal opening at a distal edge of the first panel, a closed proximal end at a proximal edge of the first panel, sidewalls therebetween, and an open top, wherein the sidewalls of the first plurality of receiving slots defines a first width configured to correspond with a width of a head of a first given cable connector of the cables;
and
a second panel, hingedly coupled with the proximal edge of first panel at a proximal edge of the second panel, the second panel comprising a second plurality of receiving slots, configured to removably receive a second plurality of cable connectors of cables, wherein each of the second plurality of receiving slots define a distal opening at a distal edge of the second panel, a closed proximal end at the proximal edge of the second panel, sidewalls therebetween, and an open top, wherein the sidewalls of the second plurality of receiving slots defines a second width configured to correspond with the width of the head of the first given cable connector of the cables.
