TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to reinforced, removable pull tabs for pluggable modules.

BACKGROUND

The sheer scale and size of large data centers, high-performance computing networks, and other systems can make the management of the equipment in those systems cumbersome. As such, some equipment may include visual aids/indicators or other identifying characteristics, such as logos, labels, etc., that ease the management burden of the equipment. For example, certain equipment may have a modular form that enables the equipment to be “plugged” into, and removed from, a slot in, for example, a rack/cage. These equipment modules, sometimes referred to as “pluggable modules,” may include a “pull tab” or “pull handle” having a particular appearance so that a technician can readily identify that the module is associated with, for example, a particular customer, wavelength, function, etc. However, when pluggable modules are reassigned to other purposes, it can be difficult, costly, and/or time-consuming to update the visual indicators of the items to properly reflect their reassignment.
