Abstract:
A tubular case for a fishing rod which is formed from braided or psuedo-braided plastic filaments of an open, expandable weave, one end of the case being closed and provided with a loop member for facilitating the hanging thereof. The opposite end of the tubular case preferably has a flared opening to facilitate the insertion therein of the small, upper end of a fishing rod and its line guide. As the rod is forced into the sleeve, the sleeve expands so as to conform generally to the shape of the rod and its protuberances, i. e., line guides, bobbers, sinkers, and the like.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a telecommunications distribution hub having a cabinet that defines a primary compartment. The cabinet also includes one or more main doors for accessing the primary compartment. Telecommunications equipment is mounted within the primary compartment. The distribution hub further includes a secondary compartment that can be accessed from an exterior of the cabinet without accessing the primary compartment. A grounding interface is accessible from within the secondary compartment.
Abstract:
An optical fiber cable management panel includes drawer assemblies, each including a drawer slidable within a chassis. The chassis incorporates a grounding point, and the drawer assemblies are electrically connected to the grounding point by a grounding strap. The grounding strap flexes to allow the slidable movement of the drawer relative to the chassis. The strap may be folded one or more times. The strap may be bolted, welded, or otherwise conductively and non-rotatably affixed at each end to the drawer and the chassis so as to maintain a constant position within the assembly and a constant electrical connection between the drawer and the grounding point.
Abstract:
A device and method of blocking customer access to a fiber optic distribution cable. A service blocker 200 is positioned between a fiber distribution cable and a customer drop cable within a fiber optic adapter 12. The service blocker 200 includes a body which does not permit optical transmission between the fiber distribution cable and the customer drop cable. The service blocker includes a first end configured to be inserted within the fiber optic adapter 12 and a second end configured connect with a fiber optic cable connector 16. A system for mounting fiber optic cables including a service blocker positioned within a bulkhead mounted adapter between two fiber optic cables 14.
Abstract:
A fiber optic telecommunications device includes an enclosure (21) defining an interior. A first fiber optic adapter is provided at the enclosure. A spool (89) is provided at an exterior of the enclosure. A fiber optic cable, which includes a first optical fiber, is wrapped around the spool. A first fiber optic connector is mounted at a first end of the first optical fiber. The first end of the first optical fiber is positioned within the interior of the enclosure. The first fiber optic connector is inserted within the first fiber optic adapter. The enclosure and the spool are configured to rotate in unison about a common axis when the fiber optic cable is unwound from the spool.
