Port-Sequence Cable Attachment Layout for ToR Switch Replacement

The patent introduces cable management clips as an intermediary device that physically organizes and secures cables in their correct positions. These clips act as a mediator between the cable and the port, providing a mechanical guide that ensures cables remain properly aligned during device replacement, thereby preventing mislabeling and incorrect reconnections while maintaining ease of operation.

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-organizing cables using management clips before device replacement occurs. The cables are预先 secured in their correct positions and routes are established in advance, so when device replacement is needed, the cables are already prepared and positioned correctly. This eliminates the need for time-consuming manual tracking and verification during the replacement process, thereby maintaining high connection accuracy while reducing operational time.

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the cabling management into individual, independent cable segments, each secured by its own management clip. This allows each cable to be independently organized and managed, enabling multiple ToR switch devices to be replaced simultaneously without creating a complex coordinated movement system. The segmented approach simplifies the overall cabling movement process while maintaining high device replacement throughput.
