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 transition device for interconnecting a hybrid trunk cable and electronic equipment includes: an enclosure having first and second ends; a trunk power connector mounted to the first end of the enclosure; a trunk optical connector mounted to the first end of the enclosure; and a plurality of hybrid jumper cables exiting the second end of the enclosure, each of the hybrid jumper cables including at least two power conductors terminated with jumper power connectors and at least one optical fiber terminated with a jumper optical connector.

The present invention provides a hybrid fiber and power cabling system comprising a patch panel comprising a module enclosure having four module docking slots configured to accommodate up to three modules, and at least two removable modules which include at least one fiber/patch module and at least one power/conductor module to provide a hybrid patch panel having both fiber and power connectivity that is suitable for use in combination with hybrid fiber/copper cables. The system can be deployed in central locations to provide high-performance fiber networking with electrical power to remote devices through the communications infrastructure.

A device for connecting a hybrid trunk cable to one or more jumper cables includes: an enclosure having two opposed end walls and two opposed side walls; a power connector mounted to a first end wall; a fiber optic connector mounted to the first end wall; and a plurality of mixed media connectors mounted to a first side wall. The power connector is electrically connected to the plurality of mixed media connectors, and the fiber optic connector is optically connected to the plurality of mixed media connectors.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a connector that includes a first port configured to receive electromagnetic waves guided by a first dielectric core of a first transmission medium. A waveguide is configured to guide the electromagnetic waves from the first port to a second port. The second port is configured to transmit the electromagnetic waves to a second dielectric core of a second transmission medium. Other embodiments are disclosed.

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.

An OVP module that connects with a hybrid trunk cable includes: a mounting frame; an overvoltage unit mounted in the mounting frame and configured to create an open electrical circuit when experiencing a voltage higher than a predetermined threshold; a first contact configured to receive a first set of power conductors from a hybrid trunk cable; a second contact configured to receive a second set of power conductors from the hybrid trunk cable; a first OVP conductor connected between the first contact and the overvoltage unit; a second OVP conductor connected between the second contact and the overvoltage unit; a third contact configured to receive a first set of power cords; a fourth contact configured to receive a second set of power cords; a third OVP conductor connected between the overvoltage unit and the third contact; and a fourth OVP conductor connected between the overvoltage unit and the fourth contact.

A cable breakout assembly includes: a cable including a plurality of signal-carrying members enclosed in a protective jacket; a plurality of connector modules, each of the connector modules having at least one side wall and a connector mounted thereto, wherein the connector modules are arranged in serial relationship along an axis, with a gap between adjacent connector modules; and at least one flex member extending, between the connector modules that substantially prevents the axial spacing of the gaps between adjacent connector modules from increasing, but enables adjacent connector modules to flex about the axis relative to each other. Each of the signal carrying-members is connected with a respective connector.

The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic connection system (810) that uses a slide clip to provide robust retention of a fiber optic connector (820) within a mating fiber optic adapter (836). In certain examples, the fiber optic connector may be a hybrid connector that provides both electrical and optical connectivity.
