Abstract:
A telecommunications cabinet comprising a top, a floor, a pair of opposing sides, a front wall and a rear wall defining an interior, the front including an access door for accessing the interior. Within the interior are mounted a cable management structure, an adapter panel with an adapter configured to optical connector two optical fiber cables terminated with fiber optic connectors, and a fiber optic connector holder (110) mounted in openings of the adapter panel. The connector holder has an opening (116) configured to receive a fiber optic connector (200) with a dust cap (204), the opening accessible from a front side of the adapter panel. A fiber optic connector including a ferrule with a polished end face holding an end of an optical fiber with a dust cap placed about the ferrule and polished end face is inserted within the opening of a fiber optic connector holder. And a fiber optic connector is inserted within the rear side of one of the adapters.
Abstract:
A telecommunications enclosure includes a telecommunications enclosure locking system. The telecommunications enclosure locking system includes a base, a cover, a lock, a releasing key, and a releasing key retainer. The base is adapted for mounting to a structure. The cover is moveable between a closed position and an opened position. The cover and the base define an enclosed interior when the cover is at the closed position. The interior is open for access when the cover is at the opened position. The lock is moveable between a locking configuration and a releasing configuration. The lock automatically moves to the locking configuration when the cover is moved to the closed position and thereby automatically locks the cover to the base when the cover is moved to the closed position. The releasing key is adapted to move the lock from the locking configuration to the releasing configuration. The releasing key retainer is adapted to receive and retain the releasing key when the lock is in the releasing configuration and is also adapted to eject and release the releasing key when the lock is in the locking configuration.
Abstract:
A pedestal terminal includes a frame mounted to a base and a cover configured to mount to the base. The frame including a support frame and a swing frame pivotally mounted to the support frame. A splitter module mounting location is positioned on the frame. The splitter module mounting location is adapted to mount a splitter arrangement including splitter pigtails to the frame. A first termination field includes a plurality of fiber optic adapters, each being configured to couple one of the splitter pigtails to a distribution cable. A second termination field includes a plurality of fiber optic adapters, each being configured to couple one of the splitter pigtails to a drop cable. A pivoting cover arrangement can be mounted to a top of the support frame to inhibit contact between the splitter arrangement and the cover when the cover is mounted to or removed from the base.
Abstract:
A wall box includes an enclosure having a base and a cover connected to the base. The base and the cover enclose an interior region. The wall box further includes a plurality of fiber optic adapters mounted to the enclosure. The fiber optic adapters include an inner port positioned inside the interior region and an outer port positioned at an outer surface of the enclosure. A tray stack is mounted within the interior region. The tray stack includes a tray mount pivotally connected to the enclosure. The tray mount includes a top surface and an oppositely disposed bottom surface. A first splice tray mounting area is disposed on the top surface and a second splice tray mounting area is disposed on the bottom surface. A plurality of trays is disposed in the first splice tray mounting area. A tray is disposed in the second splice tray mounting area.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a wall box (200) adapted to be mounted at a mid-span access location of a fiber optic telecommunications cable. The wall box includes an enclosure (202) having a main body (216) with an open front side (218). The enclosure also includes a front cover (220) for opening and closing the open front side of the main body. The wall box defining first and second cable entrance/exit openings (232) positioned at opposite sides of the enclosure. The main body defines an open region through an exterior wall of the main body. The open region extends from the first cable entrance/exit opening to the second cable entrance/exit opening. The enclosure also includes a cable cover (22S) that is mounted to the main body to cover the open region. The cable cover is a separate component from the front cover.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a slack storage tray (44) for managing slack associated with fiber terminations in a distribution cabinet (10). The storage tray includes a base (120) defining a cable pathway (142) for storing multiple loops of a cable. A hinged cover (164) further defines a cable pathway (176) for managing the cable. The base (120) comprises a bottom wall (122), an upstanding outer wall (124) extending from the bottom wall, an upstanding inner wall (144) disposed inside of the upstanding outer wall and extending upwardly from the bottom wall, a plurality of cable retention tabs (140), and a cable entry location (126) through the upstanding outer wall. The cover (164) is hinged to the base and includes a bottom wall (168), a cable entry location (166) through the bottom wall, an upstanding outer wall (170) extending from the bottom wall, an upstanding inner wall (173) disposed within the outer wall and extending upwardly from the bottom wall, a plurality of cable retentions tabs (174), and a cable exit location (188) for cables exiting from the cover.
