Abstract:
A device and method for connecting an optical switch to the optical fibers that terminate on a fiber distribution shelf within a fiber administration system. The optical switch device contains a support plate that is shaped essentially the same as the protective cover of fiber distribution shelf. As such, the support plate of the optical switch device can be joined to a specific fiber distribution shelf by substituting the support plate for the protective cover. An optical switch is affixed to the support plate, wherein the optical switch is sized not to extend beyond the peripheral boundaries of the support plate. As a result, when the support plate is placed over a fiber distribution shelf, the optical switch joined to the support plate does not obscure any other fiber distribution shelf in the fiber administration system.
Abstract:
An electrical backplane assembly for interconnecting a plurality of connection modules in a fiber distribution shelf to the central controller of an optical fiber administration system. The electrical backplane assembly mounts upon a bracket assembly within the confines of the shelf structure of the fiber distribution shelf. The bracket assembly retains the electrical backplane assembly in a small previously unused area of space in between the tops of the connection modules and the interior top panel of the fiber distribution shelf. By having the electrical backplane assembly entirely contained within the shelf structure of a fiber distribution shelf, a unique configuration is provided that greatly reduces the size and complexity of the overall fiber administration system.

Abstract:
A telecommunications assembly including a housing and a plurality of modules mounted within the housing. The modules includes a rear face in which is mounted at least one fiber optic connector. Within an interior of the housing are positioned at least one fiber optic adapters. Inserting the module through a front opening of the housing at a mounting location positions the connector of the module for insertion into and mating with the adapter of the housing. The adapters within the interior of the housing are mounted to a removable holder. A method of mounting a telecommunications module within a chassis.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To provide an accommodation apparatus for facilitating the mounting, replacement, operation, and wiring of communication equipment such as a media convertor, a power supply unit, or the like. CONSTITUTION: The accommodation apparatus can accommodate a plurality of pieces of communication equipment that are connected to a transmission medium. The apparatus has a support section that is fixed to an external frame, and a mounting section that accommodates the communication equipment removably and can move to the support section. The mounting section has a first surface and a second surface that differs from the first one. The transmission medium can be connected to the communication equipment via the first and second surfaces at the mounting section.
Abstract:
A system for routing at least two cables with fiber connectors without bending the at least two cables 90°. The system includes a base that has a plurality of female connectors. The system also has a module that includes a plurality of male connectors for releasably connecting to the base female connectors. The module includes a connector surface that supports at least one cable adapter for connecting the at least two fiber connectors. The connector surface is oriented at a non-orthogonal angle with respect to the base. The module includes a passageway that at least one of the at least two cables extends therethrough without bending 90°.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a telecommunications termination panel (210) with a housing including a front opening and a rear opening. Pivotably mounted within the housing is a tray (136) within the front opening, pivoting about a vertical axis located adjacent a first side of the housing. A cable path is defined along a bottom of the housing. A movable plate (238) is positioned adjacent the first side and is movable between a first position defining an upper limit of the cable path when the tray is closed and a second position allowing access to the cable path when the tray is open. The movement of the plate between the first and second positions is actuated via the actuator (232) by the movement of the tray. Pivotably mounted within the housing is a tray within the front opening, pivoting about a vertical axis located adjacent a first side of the housing. The tray is pivotable between an open and a closed position. The tray includes a cover (212) which can be moved between an operational and an access position when the tray is in the open position. With the cover in the operational position, the tray is prevented from moving from the open to the closed position.
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:
The present invention relates to a telecommunications termination panel with a tray pivotably mounted within the front opening of a housing. The tray pivots about a hinge located adjacent one of the sides of the housing and includes a raised floor. The raised floor of the tray cooperates with the side adjacent the hinge and a bottom of the housing to define a cable path from a rear cable access port to an opening on the tray adjacent the hinge. The tray includes a plurality of connection locations and cable management structures to direct a telecommunications cable from the cable access port to a rear of the connection locations without violating bend radius rules. The tray may also include a temporary cable holder to assist in pulling cables through the rear opening into the housing. The present invention further relates to a telecommunications equipment rack with a termination panel with such a pivoting tray mounted to the rack.
