FIBER MANAGEMENT TRAY ARRANGEMENTS AND ASSEMBLIES FOR FIBER OPTIC CLOSURE ORGANIZERS
Devices, arrangements and methods for routing and connecting optical fibers at fiber organizers of telecommunications closures. The organizers include pivotal tray arrangements for improved versatility and quantity of fiber routing configurations within a telecommunications closure of a given size.
INDUCTION WELD JOINT FOR AN ENCLOSURE
The present disclosure relates to a housing having an interior and an exterior. The housing includes a first housing piece and a second housing piece that are coupled together by a joint. The joint includes a bonding material and the joint is configured such that when the bonding material is pressurized during formation of the joint the bonding material is predisposed to move toward the interior of the housing as compared to the exterior of the housing.
SMART OPTICAL JUNCTION BOX
An optical fibre junction box (10) has at least one status sensor (12) measuring at least one physical parameter of the box (10) and/or detecting the opening and closing of the box (10) and an electronic means (14) for remotely identifying the box (10).
Adapter holder assembly
An adapter holder assembly supports one or more optical adapters. The adapter holder includes first and second holding members spaced from each other. Inner sides of the holding members define one or more mounting channels each having a corresponding latching arm. The optical adapters mount to the holder assembly by sliding over the latching arms towards stop surfaces defined by the holding members. In certain implementations, the optical adapter is releasable by applying sufficient force to the optical adapter along a slide axis away from the respective stop surface.
Enclosure with restricted access region
A re-enterable enclosure has a cover arrangement removably disposed within the interior between a rear wall and an access opening to separate the interior into a restricted access region and an unrestricted access region. The cover arrangement extends over the restricted access region to inhibit access to the restricted access region from the access opening. First and second entrances to the restricted access region are provided from the unrestricted access region. The second entrance is different from the first entrance. In some implementations, a termination field is provided at a first side of the restricted access region and a splice tray is provided at a second side of the restricted access region.
HEAT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR ENCLOSURES FOR POWER AND OPTICAL FIBER NETWORKS
A thermal management system for a power and fiber splice enclosure that includes a housing including electrical components is provided. The thermal management system includes a solar shield disposed external to the housing and covering at least a major portion of the housing. The thermal management system includes a vent disposed in the housing for venting hot air from the enclosure. The thermal management system includes a condenser thermally coupled to a heat conducting component of the enclosure for cooling at least the heat conducting component
Fiber termination enclosure with modular plate assemblies
Certain types of fiber termination enclosures include an enclosure and at least one of a plurality of plate module mounting assemblies. Example plate module mounting assemblies include a termination panel plate assembly; a splice tray plate assembly; a cable spool plate assembly; and a drop-in plate assembly. Example cable spool plate assemblies include a cable spool arrangement rotationally coupled to a mounting plate, which fixedly mounts within the enclosure housing. A stand-off mount element may be disposed on the front of the cable spool arrangement to rotate in unison with the cable spool arrangement. The stand-off mount element may include one or more termination adapters.
Stackable splitters
Examples of optical splitter systems, methods and modules enable the stacking and interconnecting of one or more optical splitter modules. One example of a splitter module has a housing and one or more connection members for connecting to adjacent instances of like splitter modules. The housing includes a plurality of cable ports providing access to an optical splitter storage area. Each connection member includes a tab and a slot, the tab configured to slidingly engage with the slot of an adjacent connection member. Sliding engagement of adjacent instances of splitter modules can form a stack of splitter modules along a stacking axis. In some cases a splitter module includes a latching mechanism to removably engage an adjacent splitter module. The latching mechanism can restrict sliding engagement and thus decoupling of the adjacent splitter modules.
OPTICAL FIBRE ENCLOSURE WITH STAGGERED PORTS
An optical fibre enclosure comprises a housing coupled with a base panel and a plurality of staggered ports housed on a front surface of the housing. In particular, the plurality of staggered ports is arranged in two or more columns and two or more rows such that the plurality of staggered ports in the two or more columns is aligned to one or more column axes and the plurality of staggered ports in adjacent rows is not aligned to one or more row axes creating a space at a lower portion of at least one of the two or more columns.
Fiber optic tray systems
A fiber optic tray system includes a tray. The tray includes a tray body, the tray body extending along a longitudinal axis between a front and a rear and extending along a lateral axis between a first side and a second side. The tray further includes a plurality of alignment rails, each of the plurality of alignment rails protruding from the tray body along a transverse axis. The tray further includes a plurality of retainer features disposed at the rear of the tray body. The fiber optic tray system further includes a fiber optic module, the fiber optic module including an outer housing and at least one retainment feature. The at least one retainment feature is interfaced with at least one of the plurality of retainer features to retain the fiber optic module on the tray.
