Abstract
A telecommunications cabinet system in which a cabinet with a first end and a second end includes a plurality of DSX-1 and/or DSX-3 jack assemblies and at least one multiplexer, are mounted such that they may be accessed from an end of the cabinet framework. The preferred system includes fifty-six DSX-1 jack assemblies and two active M13's, with two standby or redundant M13's being available for use.
Claims28
A telecommunications cabinet assembly comprised of:
- (a) a cabinet framework with a first end and a second end;
- (b) a plurality of DSX-1 jack assemblies mounted on the cabinet framework;
- and
- (c) at least one multiplexer mounted on the cabinet framework and disposed to be accessed from the first end of the cabinet framework.
A telecommunications cabinet assembly comprised of:
- (a) a cabinet framework with a first end and a second end, and wherein the framework defines a width dimension to a height dimension ratio which is greater than one;
- (b) a plurality of DSX-1 jack assemblies mounted on the cabinet framework;
- and
- (c) at least one multiplexer mounted on the cabinet framework.
A telecommunications cabinet assembly comprised of:
- (a) a cabinet framework with a first end and a second end, the cabinet framework configured to mount to a nineteen inch wide distribution rack;
- (b) at least forty-two DSX-1 jack assemblies mounted on the cabinet framework;
- and
- (c) at least two multiplexers mounted on the cabinet framework, the at least two multiplexers being electrically connected to the at least forty-two DSX-1 jack assemblies.
A telecommunications cabinet assembly comprised of:
- (a) a cabinet framework with a first end and a second end;
- (b) a plurality of DSX-1 jack assemblies mounted on the cabinet framework, each jack assembly being comprised of:
- (i) a front panel portion which includes a single column of at least one sleeve for receiving a plug therein;
- (ii) a switch assembly support portion;
- and
- (iii) at least one switch assembly positioned within the framework rearward from the corresponding sleeve, the switch assembly being adapted to receive and make electrical contact with a plug inserted in the corresponding sleeve;
- (c) at least one multiplexer mounted on the cabinet framework;
- (d) a backplane circuit board electrically connected to the at least one multiplexer and the plurality of DSX-1 jack assemblies.
A telecommunications cabinet assembly comprised of a cabinet framework with a first end and a second end, the cabinet framework having a vertical height of less than twelve inches, the cabinet framework including a first set of DSX-1 jack assemblies mounted on and disposed to be accessed from the first end of the cabinet framework, a first multiplexer mounted on and disposed to be accessed from the first end of the cabinet framework, the first multiplexer being electrically connected to the first set of DSX-1 jack assemblies;
- and wherein there is at least one multiplexer and at least twenty-eight DSX-1 jack assemblies mounted on the cabinet framework.
A telecommunications cabinet assembly comprised of a cabinet framework with a first end and a second end, the cabinet framework having a vertical height of less than twelve inches, the cabinet framework including a first set of DSX-1 jack assemblies mounted on the cabinet framework, a first multiplexer mounted on the cabinet framework, the first multiplexer being electrically connected to the first set of DSX-1 jack assemblies;
- and wherein the first multiplexer is mounted on a same horizontal plane within the cabinet as the first set of DSX-1 jack assemblies.
A telecommunications cabinet assembly comprised of:
- (a) a cabinet framework with a first end and a second end;
- (b) a plurality of DSX-3 assemblies mounted on the cabinet framework;
- and
- (c) at least one multiplexer mounted on the cabinet framework and electrically connected to the plurality of DSX-3 assemblies.
