The present disclosure relates to an optical splice package for splicing together first and second optical fibers or first and second sets of optical fibers. The optical fibers have elastic bending characteristics. The splice package includes a splice housing including a mechanical alignment feature for co-axially aligning ends of the first and second optical fibers or sets of optical fibers within the splice housing. The splice housing contains adhesive for securing the ends of the first and second optical fibers or sets of optical fibers within the splice housing. The optical package has a weight less than a spring force corresponding to the elastic bending characteristics of the first and second optical fibers or sets of optical fibers.

An object is to be capable of housing an optical fiber that connects between components not to exceed a bending limit of the optical fiber in a housing of a pluggable optical module. A pluggable electric connector (11) is configured to be insertable into and removable from an optical communication apparatus (93). An optical output module (12) outputs an optical signal (LS1) and a local oscillation light (LO). An optical reception module (13) outputs a communication data signal (DAT) generated by demodulating using the local oscillation light (LO). A pluggable optical receptor (15) is configured in such a manner that optical fibers are insertable thereinto and removable therefrom. A first optical fiber (F11) is connected between the optical output module (12) and the pluggable optical receptor (15). A second optical fiber (F12) is connected between the optical output module (12) and the optical reception module (13). A third optical fiber (F13) is connected between the optical reception module (13) and the pluggable optical receptor (15). Optical fiber housing means winds extra lengths of the first to third optical fibers (F11 to F13) around a guide.

A telecommunications rack system includes a first element defining splice locations and a second element defining adapters for receiving connectorized cabling, wherein the first and second elements are positioned on the same rack. A first end of a fiber optic pigtail is spliced at and extends from the splice locations of the first element. A second end is connectorized with a fiber optic connector that is coupled to an adapter of the second element. The pigtail extends between the first and second elements. A cable manager is removably mounted at the side of at least one of the first and second elements. The cable manager defines a U-shaped passage including ends that open toward one end of the elements and a closed end opposite the open ends. The U-shaped passage defines cable pass-throughs adjacent the closed end for transitioning cables from inside the U-shaped passage to an exterior thereof, wherein the connectorized pigtail is passed at least through a portion of the U-shaped passage and out the cable pass-through going from the first element to the second element.

An object is, in a pluggable optical module, to compactly house an optical fiber used for connecting optical components in a housing in which a plurality of optical components are mounted. The pluggable optical module (100) includes: a plurality of optical components, a printed circuit board (51); one or more optical fibers; and optical fiber housing means (14). All or a part of the plurality of optical components are mounted on the printed circuit board (51). One or more optical fibers connect between the plurality of optical components. The optical fiber housing means (14) includes a guide that is disposed on a plate-like member and can wind the one or more optical fibers, and mounted to be stacked with the printed circuit board (51) on which the optical components are mounted and all or a part of optical components other than the optical components mounted on the printed circuit board (51).

A fusion splicing system includes a fusion splicer configured to perform fusion splicing of optical fibers, and a server configured to receive fusion splicing data pertaining to the fusion splicing from an information terminal capable of communicating with the fusion splicer, or the fusion splicer via a communication network. The fusion splicing data includes first identification information for identifying a project to which the fusion splicing belongs. The server retains second identification information related to a registered project registered in advance, compares the first identification information with the second identification information, and interrelates the fusion splicing data with the registered project indicated by the second identification information when the first identification information coincides with the second identification information.

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.

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.

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

An optical fiber unit includes a plurality of optical fibers, a fibrous filler disposed along the plurality of optical fibers, and a resin film covering the plurality of optical fibers and the fibrous filler from outside. In the optical fiber unit, the resin film has a film thickness smaller than a diameter of the fibrous filler.
