Abstract: A cassette assembly includes a housing for plugs having release latches, the housing including a support surface and first hinge feature. The assembly also includes a compression lever including a post and a second hinge feature configured to cooperate with the first hinge feature to form a hinge. The assembly also includes a latch depressor including first and second ends, the latch depressor having a channel configured to receive the post. In response to a force applied to the compression lever with the first and second hinge features in cooperation, the channel in receipt of the post, and a plug in the housing, the compression lever rotates about the hinge, the post translates the force to the channel, the first end of the latch depressor abuts and pivots at the support surface, and the second end of the latch depressor contacts the release latch of the plug in the housing.

Abstract: A communications connector has a main plug assembly and a wire cap that is configured to terminate a pair of conductors to the pair of contacts by being secured to a side of the main plug assembly in a direction perpendicular to a plane defined by a deflection direction of a latch of the connector. In another embodiment, a communications connector has a main plug assembly and two electrical contacts within the main plug assembly wherein each electrical contact has a first end having a forked receptacle and a second end having an IDC that is configured to have a conductor terminated in a direction perpendicular to a direction of mating insertion and parallel to a plane defined by the contact.

Abstract: A high density fiber enclosure system includes a chassis, cassette trays, an optional unification clip, cassettes, and an optional trunk cable management system. The chassis, cassette trays, and cassettes are configured such that individual cassettes may be installed, removed, and otherwise positioned for easy access by a user. The unification clip allows two adjacent cassette trays to be connected to one other such that cassette trays move as one unit. The trunk cable management system is designed to organize trunk cables and trunk cable furcation legs as well as relieve strain on the trunk cables and trunk cable furcation legs.
