The present disclosure relates to a fiber management device or system for facilitating routing and storing optical fibers. The fiber management device includes a flexible, film-like substrate that has optical fiber management, storing functionality, and splicing functionality all on one film-like substrate. The flexible, film-like substrate can provide a routing path for routing optical fibers onto a flexible planar substrate that can be temporarily supported by, mounted on or attached to the flexible planar substrate. The flexible, film-like substrate can accommodate fibers that are in a multi-fiber (e.g., ribbon) configuration or a single fiber configuration.

An adapter panel arrangement including a chassis and a panel of adapters. The adapters defining rearward cable connections and forward cable connections of the panel arrangement. Openings permitting access to the rearward and forward cable connections of the adapters are provided. The chassis further including a removable rear chassis portion to provide access to cable routing areas within the chassis interior.

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 fiber distribution system includes a fiber distribution terminal, an assembly separate from the fiber distribution terminal, a third fiber optic cable, and an end-user fiber optic device. The fiber distribution terminal includes a first fiber optic cable, a first rotatable spool storing a portion of the first fiber optic cable, and a first adapter optically coupled to the first fiber optic cable. The assembly includes a second rotatable spool storing a second fiber optic cable optically coupled to the first adapter, and a second adapter optically coupled to the second fiber optic cable. The third fiber optic cable is optically coupled to the second adapter. The end-user fiber optic device is optically coupled to the third fiber optic cable.

The invention relates to a storage tray for protecting one or more optical fibers mechanically coupled to an optoelectronic device, characterized in that it is configured to be capable of coupling with the optoelectronic device, and comprising a fiber storage portion which is configured to receive and store the one or more optical fibers. The present invention also relates to an assembly comprising a storage tray according to the invention, and an optoelectronic device, wherein one or more optical fibers are coupled to the optoelectronic device, and wherein the one or more optical fibers are stored in the fiber storage portion of the storage tray.

A bending device for forming a product from a workpiece includes a shaft driven to rotate by a motor, an actuator including an extendable end configured to secure a portion of the workpiece, and a die coupled to the shaft and driven about an axis. The die includes a peripheral portion including a channel configured to receive the workpiece. The channel includes a first end and a second end offset from the first end in a direction parallel to the axis. Rotation of the die about the axis causes the workpiece to bend along the channel.

A microduct manifold fitting includes an end cap, a gasket, a plurality of microduct couplers, a bottom portion, a top portion, and an optical enclosure attachment mechanism. The microduct manifold has a plurality of microduct openings disposed at a lower end and one fiber opening disposed at an upper end. The upper end of the microduct manifold extends into an opening of an optical enclosure and the optical enclosure attachment mechanism secures and seals the top portion to the optical enclosure. The optical enclosure is disposed in an outside environment, and the enclosure receives and splits an outside plant cable to individual fibers. The fibers are extended through the fiber opening of the microduct manifold, through the individual microducts via the microduct couplers, and to various optical equipment within a building that desire network connectivity. The microduct manifold shields fibers within the optical enclosure and microducts from the outside environment.

A safety retention clip for installation in a module that stores a length of a communication line. The clip has a body formed of metallic sheet material. The body has a base portion, and a retaining finger portion joined to the base portion. A distal end of the finger portion is configured to overlie a communication line stored inside the module, and to retain the line close to a building wall on which the module is mounted if the module melts during a building fire. A mounting hole is formed in the base portion of the clip body, near a proximal end of the finger portion for insertion of a mounting screw. The hole extends through a boss that projects downward from the base portion, and the boss is sized to nest in a corresponding mounting opening in a base of the module in which the clip is installed.

A bracket may include a structural portion including at least one relatively rigid first material, and a sealing portion including at least one relatively elastic second material. The bracket may also include a first receiver including a first retainer portion configured to be coupled to an end of a first frame member, and a first sealing interface configured to provide a substantially fluid-resistant seal between a portion of the end of the first frame member and the first receiver. The corner bracket may also include a second receiver substantially parallel to the first receiver and including a second retainer portion configured to be coupled to an end of a second frame member, and a second sealing interface configured to provide a substantially fluid-resistant seal between a portion of the end of the second frame member and the second receiver. The bracket may be incorporated into a cabinet frame.
