In some implementations, a network device is provided. The network device includes a housing and a set of switch cards, mounted within the housing. The set of switch cards includes a first set of connectors. The network device also includes a set of line cards having a second set of connectors. The set of line cards are oriented parallel to each other and oriented orthogonally to the set of switch cards. The second set of connectors is coupled to the first set of connectors to couple the set of switch cards to the set of line cards. The network device further includes a first set of power supplies disposed along a left side of the housing and a second set of power supplies disposed along a right side of the housing.

Network device with compact chassis

Methods, computer readable mediums, and systems for power management. The method of power management may include receiving first power supply unit (PSU) capacity data and first PSU consumption data from a first PSU to a supervisor; storing, via the supervisor, the first PSU capacity data and the first PSU consumption data in storage; receiving first controlled device power consumption data from a first controlled device to the supervisor; updating a priority table, stored in the storage, with the first controlled device power consumption data; making a first determination that the first PSU consumption data exceeds a first threshold, where, the first threshold is calculated based on at least the first PSU capacity data; and based on the first determination, initiating a power response procedure.

Centralized adaptive power management

In one embodiment, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a printed circuit board (PCB). The apparatus also includes a first dual stacked octal small format pluggable (OSFP) module coupled to the PCB on a top surface of the PCB. The first dual stacked OSFP module comprises two OSFP modules that are vertically stacked. The apparatus further includes a second dual stacked OSFP module coupled to the PCB on a bottom surface of the PCB. The second dual stacked OSFP module comprises two OSFP modules that are vertically stacked. A first bottom of the first dual stacked OSFP module is flush against the top surface of the PCB. A second bottom of the second dual stacked OSFP is flush against the bottom surface of the PCB.

Network devices and network elements with stacked octal small format pluggable modules

Apparatus with orthogonal connectors. The apparatus includes a circuit board and the circuit board includes a set of processing devices. A first connector is coupled to the circuit board and the set of processing devices. A first housing of the first connector is configured to interface with a second housing of a second connector while the first connector and second connector are inserted into a third connector

Devices with orthogonal connectors

Methods and systems for managing power for a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device are disclosed herein. The method may include: configuring a power sourcing equipment (PSE) controller component with an interface keep-on order that indicates a relative priority for providing power to interfaces of the PSE controller component; storing, by a supervisor, keep-on order values and interface identifiers in entries of a PoE power table; transmitting to the supervisor, by the PSE controller component, a first interface power draw value associated with a first interface and a second interface power draw value associated with a second interface; storing, by the supervisor, the interface power draw values entries associated with the respective interfaces; and performing, by the supervisor and in response to a power event, a power management action.
