A Housing for Optical Transceivers - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18551051 titled 'A Housing for Optical Transceivers

Simplified Explanation

The housing for optical transceivers described in the patent application comprises walls that create spaces for receiving optical transceivers, along with openings into these spaces. A movable cover is attached to one of the walls, allowing it to be moved to cover an opening when the corresponding space is empty.

  • The housing is designed to accommodate optical transceivers, such as pluggable optical transceivers.
  • The cover is movable relative to the wall to cover openings when the corresponding space is vacant.

Potential Applications

The housing for optical transceivers could be used in:

  • Data centers
  • Telecommunication networks
  • Fiber optic communication systems

Problems Solved

This technology helps:

  • Protect optical transceivers from dust and debris when not in use
  • Organize and secure optical transceivers in a compact space

Benefits

The housing offers:

  • Easy access to optical transceivers
  • Protection from external elements
  • Efficient use of space

Potential Commercial Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Networking equipment
  • Telecommunication infrastructure
  • Data storage facilities

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be:

  • Existing optical transceiver housings with fixed covers

Unanswered Questions

How does the movable cover affect the ease of maintenance of the optical transceivers?

The article does not provide information on how the movable cover impacts the maintenance process of the optical transceivers.

Are there any specific materials recommended for constructing the housing to ensure durability?

The article does not mention any specific materials recommended for constructing the housing to ensure its durability.


Original Abstract Submitted

A housing for optical transceivers is provided. The housing comprises a plurality of walls defining a plurality of spaces for receiving optical transceivers, e.g. pluggable optical transceivers. The housing defines a plurality of openings into the respective spaces. The housing further comprises a cover movably coupled to one of the walls, the cover movable relative to the one of the walls in order to cover one of the openings, when the space corresponding to the opening is vacant.
