Optical branching and termination box
The box comprises a base (10) hinging a lid (20) and a tray (40) carrying fiber splicing and splitting means (AF, EF) and output adapters (AS). A side opening (13) of the base (10) is closed by a sealing bung (30) and the tray (40) incorporates, on a front face (42), a lateral anchoring element (45) provided with anchoring cutouts (45b) and being seated on the sealing bung (30). The side anchoring element (45) receives a sealing element (50) with forward slots (51) to receive a terminal cable (CT). The lid (20) has a back edge (22a) with an extension seated against the sealing element (50) and with another extension forcing a terminal cable (CT) into an anchoring cutout (45b).
Grommet for cable hanger
A grommet adapted for insertion into a cable hanger includes a generally C-shaped main body formed of a polymeric material and having a longitudinal axis. Such a grommet can be securely held by a cable hanger.
SLIDING JAW DROP CLAMP
A cable clamp for clamping drop cables to main span cables. The cable clamp has a frame, a jaw assembly and a stem. The frame has a main body, a drop cable body and a main cable body. The jaw assembly is operatively coupled to the main body and has a drop cable jaw and a main cable jaw. The drop cable jaw is movable along the main body between an open position and a closed position. The main cable jaw is movable along the main body between an open position and a closed position. The main cable jaw can be automatically moved from the open position to the closed position. The stem is operatively coupled to the main body and the jaw assembly so that the stem can selectively block the main cable jaw in the open position and release the main cable jaw so that can automatically move to the closed position.
Fiber optic cable management kit and chassis
A fiber optic cable management kit including a plate having a plurality of slide-lock apertures oriented in various directions, at least one cable tie down adapted to slide-lock engage within the apertures, and at least one fiber organizer adapted to slide-lock engage within the apertures, wherein the kit serves to route and manage fiber optic cable routed within a rear end of a rack-mountable chassis.
Adapter plate for fiber optic module
An adapter plate for use with a telecommunications module that is configured to be slidably inserted into a first type of telecommunications chassis comprises a body configured to be mounted to the telecommunications module. The body of the adapter plate includes structure for mounting the telecommunications module to a second type of telecommunications chassis that is different than the first type of telecommunications chassis, wherein the telecommunications module is not configured to be mounted to the second type of telecommunications chassis without the adapter plate.
Fiber optic cable with flexible conduit
The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic cable that includes a plurality of internal optical fibers and a fiber optic cable portion. The fiber optic cable portion includes an outer jacket and an inner conduit, the inner conduit containing the plurality of optical fibers disposed therein. The fiber optic cable further includes a flexible conduit portion, wherein the flexible conduit portion has a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end is secured to the fiber optic cable portion and the distal end has a terminating device. The terminating device at least partially encases the flexible conduit portion, and the plurality of optical fibers passes through the flexible conduit portion and the terminating device.
Two axis variable clamp assembly
A clamp assembly includes a single adjustment mechanism that allows for adjustment of an object supported on the clamp assembly along two axes. The adjustment mechanism connects to a bracket and a support rod on which the object is mounted to lock a desired position of the object in place when desired and to allow for adjustment of that position, when desired.
Optical fiber-cable branch member and optical fiber-cable branch structure
An optical fiber cable branch member includes a branch member main body, a cable-fixing portion which holds and fixes, onto the branch member main body, an end portion of a jacket of an optical fiber cable including a first optical fiber core bundle and the jacket which coats an outer circumference of the first optical fiber core bundle, and includes a tension resistance member buried in a cable longitudinal direction, a tube-fixing portion which fixes, onto the branch member main body, a plurality of protective tubes which respectively cover and protect respective outer circumferences of a plurality of second optical fiber core bundles obtained by branching the first optical fiber core bundle extending from the end portion of the jacket, and a main body-fixing portion which fixes the branch member main body onto an object to be attached.
Spring assist cable clamps
Cable clamps configured to be installed from the ground with an extendable reach tool, such as a hot stick, are provided. Initial spring tension temporarily holds a drop cable in a drop cable section of the clamp, and a main span cable can be guided into a main span section of the clamp and tightened.
Stackable Telecommunication Cabinet Construction
A telecommunication cabinet for managing connections between incoming and outgoing cables at building premises. The cabinet has a back wall, and bottom, top, left, and right walls. The bottom wall has a first incoming cable port that opens at a front edge of the bottom wall, the top wall has a second incoming cable port that opens at a front edge of the top wall, and the second incoming cable port is aligned vertically with the first incoming cable port. At least one of the right and the left walls has an outgoing cable port. Layers of incoming cables can enter the cabinet for connection, or pass through the cabinet to enter a second cabinet, by inserting the layers from the front of the cabinet into one or both of the incoming cable ports. Cable clamp assemblies fix the cables of each layer at corresponding positions inside the ports.
