Above rack cable pull system

A system for positioning electronics or fiber cables within a server room, comprising:

• a wire-pulley system positioned above a plurality of server racks within a server room, the 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 wheels;
• and
• a cable carrier attached to a point in the wire, wherein the cable carrier comprises 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;
• a head of a cable connector of an electronics or fiber cable configured to be inserted within a receiving slot of the plurality of receiving slots, wherein the receiving slot has a width corresponding to a width of the head of the electronics or fiber cable, wherein the wire is pulled, such that the first and second pulley wheels are caused to rotate, whereby the cable carrier is moved laterally from above the first server rack to above a second server rack, and wherein the head of the cable connector of the cable is removed from the receiving slot.

A computer-readable medium configured to store instructions that, when executed by a system, configure the system for positioning electronics or fiber cables within a server room to perform operations comprising:

• providing a wire-pulley system positioned above a plurality of server racks within a server room, the 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 wheels;
• attaching a cable carrier to a point in the wire, wherein the cable carrier comprises 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;
• positioning the cable carrier above a first server rack of the plurality of server racks;
• inserting a head of a cable connector of an electronics or fiber cable within a receiving slot of the plurality of receiving slots, wherein the receiving slot has a width corresponding to a width of the head of the electronics or fiber cable;
• pulling the wire, such that the first and second pulley wheels are caused to rotate, whereby the cable carrier is moved laterally from above the first server rack to above a second server rack;
• and
• removing the head of the cable connector of the cable from the receiving slot.
