Cable consolidation boxes and systems

摘要

Implementations of the present invention include a cable consolidation box for providing secure access to networks with multiple security classifications. More specifically, the cable consolidation box can allow a network administrator to physically secure network cables originating from multiple networks having distinct security classifications. In one or more implementations, the cable consolidation box can have a plurality of entry points that are segregated from one another. Each of the plurality of entry points can be associated with a corresponding plurality of segregated connection chambers. The cable consolidation box can thus allow for various types of cables, with various levels of security classification, to be associated with a single cable consolidation box.

主权项

1. A cable consolidation box for securing a plurality of network cables having two or more security classifications and for providing access to a plurality of securable network connections based at least in part on security clearance to access a particular security classification network, the cable consolidation box comprising:
a housing; one or more primary connection chambers configured to physically secure primary network cables from a first security classification network and a second security classification network; a first outbound connection chamber disposed within the housing and configured to secure secondary network cables for connecting to the first security classification network; a second outbound connection chamber disposed within the housing and configured to secure secondary network cables for connecting to the second security classification network; a barrier separating the first and second outbound connection chambers, the barrier preventing physical access to one of the first and second outbound connection chambers from the other of the first and second outbound chambers and preventing electrical communication between the first and second outbound connection chambers; a first door coupled to the housing and sized and configured to selectively provide access to the first outbound connection chamber; a second door coupled to the housing and sized and configured to selectively provide access to the second outbound connection chamber; a third door coupled to the housing and sized and configured to selectively provide access to the one or more primary connection chambers; and one or more locks configured to selectively secure one or more of the first, the second, and the third doors to the housing.
