Flexible smart sleeve systems and methods for pluggable transceivers

摘要

A flexible smart sleeve system for a pluggable transceiver includes a pluggable sleeve configured to selectively engage a pluggable transceiver; a smart enclosure configured to selectively engage a host device, wherein the host device is configured for the pluggable transceiver; and a flexible cable connecting the pluggable sleeve to the smart enclosure. A network with a flexible smart sleeve system for a pluggable transceiver includes a network switch; a customer premises switch comprising a host cage configured for the pluggable transceiver; and a flexible smart sleeve system configured to engage the host cage and to engage the pluggable transceiver, wherein the flexible smart sleeve system is configured to provide Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) to the network switch.

1. A flexible smart sleeve system for a pluggable transceiver, the system comprising:
a pluggable sleeve configured to selectively engage a pluggable transceiver; a smart enclosure configured to selectively engage a host device, wherein the host device is configured for the pluggable transceiver; a flexible cable connecting the pluggable sleeve to the smart enclosure for providing power and data connections between the pluggable sleeve and the smart enclosure; and circuitry configured to communicate to the pluggable transceiver and to perform Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) with a network switch communicatively coupled to the pluggable transceiver.
