A method and apparatus for identifying fiber optic jumper cables is presented. A radio-frequency identification system is presented in which a tag is placed in an ST connector. The tag includes a memory storing jumper cable identification information. The jumper cable identification information identifies the jumper cable. A radiating unit radiates the tag with electromagnetic waves and the tag is energized. Once energized, the tag communicates the jumper cable identification information located in the memory to the radiating unit. The radiating unit then displays the jumper cable identification information. As such, a technician is able to identify a jumper associated with the connector and connect the jumper to an appropriate communications bay.

An adapter jacket having an external contact is placed over a standardized cable such as an RJ45 cable which connects the data ports. An adapter board having a plurality of socket contacts is placed adjacent a plurality of data ports. An output and input module are coupled to the socket contacts. A micro-processor which is coupled to the output and input module scans the socket contacts to determine the connection pattern of the data ports.

A telecommunications patching system includes a patch panel comprising a plurality of connector ports and a plurality of patch cords configured to selectively interconnect pairs of the connector ports. Each patch cord has opposite ends and a respective connector secured to each end that is configured to be removably secured within a connector port. The connectors of a respective patch cord have the same unique identifier associated therewith. A first sensor is located at each connector port and detects when a patch cord connector is inserted within, and removed from, a respective connector port. A second sensor is located at each connector port and reads the identifier of a patch cord connector inserted within a respective connector port. The first and second sensors are in communication with a controller that monitors and logs patch cord interconnections with the connector ports.

A method and apparatus are provided for incorporating guided network cable Move/Add/Change (MAC) work order capability into a power patch panel. MAC work orders may be controlled and monitored using in-band signaling using, e.g., standard RJ-45 patch cords. Cable detection is performed at a port level on a real-time basis. Coordination of guided MAC operations may be performed by the patch panel, independently, or in conjunction with, or under the control of, a remote Network Management System. The patch panel may be in either an interconnect or cross-connect configuration.

A surface mounting structure and a packaging method thereof comprises a chip, a first conducting wire and a second conducting wire. The two conducting wires instead of lead frame architecture of the prior art is that the lead frame and a bridge jumper connected with N junction and P junction instead of the two conducting wires.

A panel for managing the storage of fiber optic cable jumpers is disclosed. The panel fits within a conventional storage rack. The panel has a box-like frame with a cavity on its back side. The panel also has a front storage hub and a rear storage hub. The rear hub extends out of the cavity and is coaxial with the front hub. A port is located in the frame adjacent to the hubs. An excess length of a fiber optic cable jumper may be stored by coiling it on either or both of the hubs, depending upon the need and the length of the jumper. The jumper may be inserted through the port in either direction and joined to a fiber optic cable on each end.

Junction diodes fabricated in standard CMOS logic processes can be used as program selectors for One-Time Programmable (OTP) devices. An OTP device can have at least one OTP element coupled to at least one diode in a memory cell. With a metal fuse is used by the OTP element, at least one contact and/or a plurality of vias can be built (possibly with use of one or more jumpers) in the program path to generate more Joule heat to assist with programming. The jumpers are conductive and can be formed of metal, metal gate, local interconnect, polymetal, etc. The metal fuse can also have an extended area that is longer than required by design rules for enhanced programmability. The OTP element can be polysilicon, silicided polysilicon, silicide, polymetal, metal, metal alloy, local interconnect, thermally isolated active region, CMOS gate, or combination thereof.

An assembly for a drawer-type hard disk drive comprising a cartridge in which a hard disk is mounted, and a supporting mount for receiving the cartridge. The cartridge has a power switch, a master/slave switch, a socket connector and a converting circuit card. The supporting mount is of a size such that it fits in the backup drive of a computer and it has a master/slave switch, a D-type connector, a circuit board, a power supplying slot and a jumper such that when the cartridge is inserted into the supporting mount, the socket connects to the connector. The supporting mount has an opening through which the cartridge is inserted and has guiding plates in its sidewalls which engage with guiding slots on the sides of the cartridge. The power switch has a locking latch which extends through a retaining hole on the supporting mount when the power switch is switched on, thus preventing removal of the cartridge, and which retracts when the switch is switched off, thus enabling easy removal of the cartridge. The master/slave switches allow the build-in hard drive and the add-on hard disk drive to be readily set in different operational modes. Furthermore, the cartridge is also connectable to a PCMCIA card for use with notebook computers so that the cartridge can be easily transferred from one type of computer to another.
