OPTICAL FIBER DISTRIBUTION DEVICE, OPTICAL FIBER SCHEDULING METHOD, AND SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240126034 titled 'OPTICAL FIBER DISTRIBUTION DEVICE, OPTICAL FIBER SCHEDULING METHOD, AND SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The optical fiber distribution device described in the patent application includes a distribution area, a plugging apparatus, a storage area, and/or a recycling area. The distribution area has a first port and a second port connected by an optical path using a connecting jumper. The plugging apparatus can move between the distribution area and the storage area, and/or between the distribution area and the recycling area. It can fetch a standby jumper from a storage apparatus in the storage area and insert it into the corresponding ports, or remove the connecting jumper and transport it to a recycling apparatus in the recycling area.
- Distribution area with first and second ports connected by a connecting jumper
- Plugging apparatus can move between distribution, storage, and recycling areas
- Can fetch standby jumper from storage area and insert into ports
- Can remove connecting jumper and transport to recycling area
Potential Applications
The technology described in the patent application could be applied in telecommunications networks, data centers, and other industries where optical fiber distribution and management are crucial.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently managing and maintaining optical fiber connections in a distribution system, allowing for quick and easy swapping of jumpers as needed.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved efficiency, reduced downtime for maintenance, and simplified management of optical fiber connections in a distribution system.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology could be commercially applied in telecommunications equipment, data centers, and other industries that rely on optical fiber networks for communication and data transfer.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be existing optical fiber distribution systems that may not have the same level of automation and efficiency in managing jumper connections.
Unanswered Questions
How does the plugging apparatus determine which jumper to fetch from the storage area?
The patent application does not specify the mechanism by which the plugging apparatus selects the appropriate standby jumper from the storage area.
What is the maximum number of ports that can be managed by this distribution device?
The patent application does not mention the scalability of the device in terms of the number of ports it can handle simultaneously.
Original Abstract Submitted
the optical fiber distribution device includes a distribution area, a plugging apparatus, a storage area and/or a recycling area. the distribution area includes a first port and a second port. an optical path between the first port and the second port is implemented by using a connecting jumper. the plugging apparatus can move between the distribution area and the storage area, and/or between the distribution area and the recycling area. the plugging apparatus can fetch a standby jumper from a jumper storage apparatus in the storage area, and insert the standby jumper into the corresponding first port and second port; and/or the plugging apparatus is configured to: remove the connecting jumper from the corresponding first port and second port, and transport the removed connecting jumper to a jumper recycling apparatus in the recycling area.
