A converged enclosure is provided. The converged enclosure comprises a base panel, a housing coupled with the base panel and a plurality of ports housed on a front surface of the housing. The plurality of ports is arranged in a plurality of rows such that each row has one or more ports. The one or more ports in each of the plurality of rows is inclined at a predefined row angle (R1, R2, R3, R4) from a vertical base axis such that the predefined row angle of each of the plurality of rows is different. The plurality of ports is arranged in a plurality of columns such that each column has one or more ports. The one or more ports in each of the plurality of columns is inclined at a predefined column angle (C1, C2, C3) from a horizontal base axis such that the predefined column angle of each of the plurality of columns is different.

An enclosure box assembly for fiber optic cable includes an enclosure box, a backplate, a preterminated fiber optic drop cable preinstalled with the enclosure box, and a fiber optic adapter preinstalled with the enclosure box and optically connected with the fiber optic drop cable. The backplate includes a plurality of latches that are configured to interlock with a complementary latching structure on the enclosure box, and a plurality of slotted countersunk screw holes configured to receive screws for attaching the backplate to a support structure. The backplate includes a first exit opening through a middle portion of the backplate, a second exit opening at a top end of the backplate, and a third exit opening at a bottom end of the backplate.

A system includes a chassis having an interior containing at least one component secured to a base. A cable storage module is attached to the chassis and has a frame defining an interior space in which a cable is stored. The cable has a first end extending out of the frame for connection to the component and a second end extending out of the frame for connection to a device exterior to the chassis.

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.

A cell site includes a tower, a multi-service terminal mounted to the tower and a base transceiver station in communication with the multi-service terminal. The multi-service terminal includes a housing and a plurality of adapters mounted to the housing. Each of the adapters includes an outer port accessible from outside the housing and an inner port accessible from inside the housing.

A fitting for signal connector coupling has a bayonet attachment mechanism including a groove in a fitting wall including guiding groove and retaining groove portions, the retaining groove portion having a recess forming a positive lock to interact with a protruding member of a locking cap or collar, which may be turned onto the fitting until the protruding member resiliently snaps or springs into the recessed portion resisting loosening and providing haptic feedback indicating accomplishing secure attaching. A method of attaching a fitting to another device, includes placing and turning the another device on a cylindrical wall of the fitting while interaction between a groove in the fitting wall and a protuberance on the another device guides the another device rotationally about the fitting wall, and continuing turning moves the protuberance into a positive lock location in a retaining portion of the groove and also provides haptic feedback indicating attachment.

A management tray is disposed inside a drop terminal to organize and guide optical fibers. The management tray may define an anchor station, connector storage stations, a splice retention station, a fallout station, and/or a splitter retention station.

Systems, methods, and apparatus for a data bus-in-a-box (BiB) are disclosed. The system involves an electrical box, and at least one optical connector located on the box. The system further involves at least one mother board housed inside of the box, and comprising a transmit side comprising at least one transmit optical media converter (OMC) tile, and a receive side comprising at least one receive OMC tile. Also, the system involves first receive optical fibers that are each connected from at least one receive OMC tile to a receive coupler; and a second receive optical fiber connected from the receive coupler to one of the optical connectors. Further, the system involves first transmit optical fibers that are each connected from at least one transmit OMC tile to a transmit coupler; and a second transmit optical fiber connected from the transmit coupler to at least one of the optical connectors.

Distributed optical tapping architectures include two or more optical tap terminals daisy-chained together. Each optical tap terminal includes an environmentally sealed enclosure; an optical tapping circuit positioned within an interior of the enclosure, the optical tapping circuit including an tap input, a tap pass-through output, and a tap drop output; and hardened interface locations (e.g., de-mateable fiber optic connection locations, cable-pass through glands, etc.) corresponding to the tap input, the tap pass-through output and the tap drop output.

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.
