A cable management system includes a support having a stem and an arm that extends from the stem. The arm includes a channel having a plurality of openings. A locking sled is slidable from a locked position to an unlocked position within the channel. The locking sled has a plurality of locking grooves that align with the plurality of openings. Fiber optic trays are mounted to the arm, and each fiber optic tray has at least one hinge inserted through an opening on the arm and a locking groove on the locking sled. The fiber optic trays are pivotable with respect to the arm when the hinges are in the unlocked portion, and the fiber optic trays are fixed with respect to the arm when the hinges are in the locked portion.

A fiber optic enclosure assembly includes a housing having an interior region and a bearing mount disposed in the interior region of the housing. A cable spool is connectedly engaged with the bearing mount such that the cable spool selectively rotates within the housing. A termination module disposed on the cable spool so that the termination module rotates in unison with the cable spool. A method of paying out a fiber optic cable from a fiber optic enclosure includes rotating a cable spool, which has a subscriber cable coiled around a spooling portion of the cable spool, about an axis of a housing of the fiber optic enclosure until a desired length of subscriber cable is paid out. A termination module is disposed on the cable spool.

Optical fiber management tray assemblies for optical fiber closures. The tray assemblies include features that enable different fiber routing schemes and configurations depending on specific fiber routing needs at a given fiber optic closure. A plurality of inner fiber management trays can pivotally mount to an outer fiber management tray.

A fiber distribution hub includes an enclosure defining an interior region and a frame body having a longitudinal axis. The frame body is rotatably mounted within the interior region of the enclosure such that the frame body can rotate about the longitudinal axis relative to the enclosure between a first terminal angular position and a second terminal angular position. The frame body is rotatably mounted within the interior region of the enclosure also such that the entire frame body remains within the interior region as the frame body rotates between the first terminal angular position and the second terminal angular position. The fiber distribution hub also includes a splitter coupled to the frame body and having a splitter input and a splitter output.

A system may include a splice housing positioned along a portion of tubing in a wellbore and a splice housing protector around the splice housing. An uphole fiber optic cable may extend through the splice housing protector. The uphole fiber optic cable may mate with a first port of the splice housing at a downhole end of the splice housing protector. A downhole fiber optic cable may mate with a second port of the splice housing in the splice housing protector. The splice housing may splice the uphole fiber optic cable and the downhole fiber optic cable.

Cable input devices having an integrated locking feature for securing the cable input device in a port of another device such as useful for quickly attaching a tether cable to a terminal or the like. The cable input devices comprise a housing having an integrated locking feature that can be secured in a port by cooperating with a securing member of the terminal.

A fiber enclosure with an integrated enclosure mounting system includes a base, a cover, and a clamp for securing the cover to the base. The base has an end wall with through openings extending therethrough and has a fiber management mounting frame provided on an inner side of the end wall. The mounting frame is configured to receive fiber management trays and the cover is engageable over the mounting frame and into abutment with the base and is securable to the base by the clamp to fully enclose the mounting frame and fiber management trays within a cavity formed between the cover and the base. The base also includes enclosure mounting sockets formed on an outer side surface thereof. The enclosure mounting sockets are releasably engageable with complementary shaped mounting post provided on a mounting arm to releasably secure the base to the mounting arm.

Fiber optic connectors, cable assemblies and methods for making the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the optical connector comprises a housing and a multifiber ferrule. The housing comprises a longitudinal passageway between a rear end and a front end, and a rear portion of the housing comprises a keying portion and at least one locking feature integrally formed in the rear portion of the housing.

A hinge structure (2202) for pivotally mounting a first telecommunications element (2256) to a second telecommunications element (2224/2210) includes a hinge pin (2203) provided on the first element (2256) and a hinge pin receiver (2204) provided on the second element (2224/2210). The hinge pin (2203) defines a notch (2206) separating the pin (2203) into two pin halves (2205). The hinge pin receiver (2204) defines two sets of opposing surfaces (2214), the two sets (2214) separated by a divider (2212), the divider (2212) configured to be accommodated by the notch (2206) when the hinge pin (2203) is inserted into the hinge pin receiver (2204), wherein each opposing surface set (2214) defines a slot (2213) for receiving each pin half (2205).

Closure-mounted support structures and associated assemblies for supporting fiber optic management devices within a fiber optic closure defining a closure volume. The support structures are adapted to receive and hold axially distal portions of protection tubes that hold and protect portions of optical fibers as they are routed through the closure volume, and also to support optical fiber management trays into which the optical fibers can be routed upon exiting the protection tubes.
