A fixing device for a cabinet, and the cabinet with such fixing device, hold vulnerable components steadily in place at all times. The cabinet includes a door panel, internal components, and at least one fixing device. The door panel defines at least one locking hole and supports at least one component. Each fixing device includes a telescopic portion and an operation portion and each telescopic portion is aligned with one locking hole. The operation portion is rotatable one way to extend the telescopic portion to abut and hold the component in place, and rotatable in the reverse direction to unlock and release the component.

A telecommunications cable fixation and sealing system (14) includes a telecommunications cable (18) including a jacket defining a jacket perimeter having a generally non-circular transverse cross-section and an adapter tube (26) slidably placed over the jacket of the telecommunications cable (18), the adapter tube (26) defining a tube perimeter (28) having a generally circular transverse cross-section and defining a throughhole (30) having a generally non-circular transverse cross-section that is configured to receive the telecommunications cable (18).

Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relate to handheld tools for assisting in routing optical fiber, and including advantageous features and methods usable with handheld tools. Disclosed features and techniques relate to: a splicing station, a spool, a groove plate; a substrate; a fiber management device; a tool; and flexible organizers.

Technologies for providing efficient reprovisioning in an accelerator device include an accelerator sled. The accelerator sled includes a memory and an accelerator device coupled to the memory. The accelerator device is to configure itself with a first bit stream to establish a first kernel, execute the first kernel to produce output data, write the output data to the memory, configure itself with a second bit stream to establish a second kernel, and execute the second kernel with the output data in the memory used as input data to the second kernel. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

A fiber optic telecommunications device includes a frame and a fiber optic module. The fiber optic module includes a main housing portion defining fiber optic connection locations for connecting cables to be routed through the frame and a cable management portion for guiding cables between the main housing portion and the frame. The main housing portion of the fiber optic module is slidably mounted to the frame, the main housing portion slidable between a retracted position and an extended position in a sliding direction. The cable management portion of the fiber optic module includes a radius limiter slidably coupled to both the main housing portion and the frame, wherein movement of the main housing portion with respect to the frame slidably moves the radius limiter with respect to the main housing portion along the sliding direction.

A cable storage device includes a first elongate bracket member attachable to a support structure and having a length extending between a first end and a second end. A second elongate bracket member is configured to be coupled to the first elongate bracket member proximate one of the first end or the second end such that the second elongate member extends in a different direction from the first elongate member when installed on the support structure. At least one set of a plurality of retaining mechanisms is configured to be coupled to the first and second elongate bracket members to receive and store a first cable. The at least one of the at least one set of the plurality of retaining mechanisms is adjustable along the first elongate bracket member or the second elongate bracket member. Methods of installing and making the cable storage device are also disclosed.

A method of fixing and moisture sealing a telecommunications cable that includes a jacket defining a jacket perimeter having a generally non-circular transverse cross-section with respect to an enclosure includes placing an adapter tube over the jacket, the adapter tube defining a perimeter having a generally circular transverse cross-section and a throughhole having a generally non-circular transverse cross-section; compressing the adapter tube around the jacket with a clamp; placing a portion of the adapter tube within a gel block of the enclosure, the gel block being provided at a location different than the location of the clamp; moisture sealing the adapter tube with sealant material of the gel block; and fixing the adapter tube and the telecommunications cable with respect to the enclosure to oppose pulling forces.

An assembly for deploying fiber optic cable includes a housing defining a cavity and comprising a wall. The wall defines an opening allowing a fiber optic cable to pass. The assembly also includes a spool configured to store a portion of the fiber optic cable. The spool is rotatably coupled to the housing within the cavity of the housing. The assembly also includes a component module releasably coupled to the housing and comprising an adapter configured to optically couple the fiber optic cable to another fiber optic cable.

A compact optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) containing a small-scale OTDR, power source, and wireless communications electronics encompassed within the confines of a spool containing a time delay fiber optic waveguide coiled about the face of the spool. Data obtained by the OTDR is transmitted by wire or wirelessly to a computer or portable wireless device for graphical plotting of said data and evaluation by the user. The integration of the time delay waveguide eliminates the need for a separate time delay waveguide and provides a more compact testing solution. The Compact OTDR with Integrated Time Delay is used to test the integrity of an optical fiber waveguide.

A fiber optic drop terminal assembly includes a housing, a spool and a fiber optic distribution cable. The housing has a first exterior surface and an oppositely disposed second exterior surface. A plurality of ruggedized adapters is mounted on the first exterior surface of the housing. The ruggedized adapters include a first port accessible from outside the housing and a second port accessible from inside the housing. The spool is engaged with the second exterior surface and includes a drum portion. The fiber distribution cable is coiled around the drum portion. The distribution cable includes a first end and an oppositely disposed second end. The second end is disposed inside the housing.
