Abstract: An air handling apparatus and method for installation where a cabinet is
connected to a mounting plate with a mounting bracket, the mounting plate is attached to
an electrical equipment enclosure. Gravity and latching screws secure the cabinet to the
mounting plate and also facilitate a seal between the cabinet and the enclosure. After

Abstract: A synchronizer/de-synchronizer maps continuous format signals of
an arbitrary rate into frames of pre-selected single common rate, such as
SONET frames, with no bits changed and very little jitter or wander added.
In this way, the continuous format signal may be carried transparently as
a tributary of a SONET network. Each frame comprises a definite number
of fixed stuff bits (6, 14) including transport overhead bits and reminder
fixed stuff bits. A frame also comprises an adjustable number of adaptive
stuff bits (8), resulting from the phase difference between the arbitrary rate
and the common rate. A mapping function is performed in a tributary unit
shelf of a SONET transport shelf, and the reverse mapping function is
performed in a similar way at the far end of a SONET connection. The
stuff bits are spread uniformly within the frame.
