High density fiber enclosure and method
A high density fiber enclosure system includes a chassis, cassette trays, an optional unification clip, cassettes, and an optional trunk cable management system. The chassis, cassette trays, and cassettes are configured such that individual cassettes may be installed, removed, and otherwise positioned for easy access by a user. The unification clip allows two adjacent cassette trays to be connected to one other such that cassette trays move as one unit. The trunk cable management system is designed to organize trunk cables and trunk cable furcation legs as well as relieve strain on the trunk cables and trunk cable furcation legs.
Wavelength division multiplexing cassette for a fiber optic network and method of making same
A method of assembling a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) cassette for a fiber optic network is disclosed and includes attaching a first plurality of wavelength filters to a first cassette workpiece, attaching a second plurality of wavelength filters to a second cassette workpiece, organizing the optical fibers extending from the wavelength filters, adjusting a length of the optical fibers extending from wavelength filters, and forming an optical connection between the optical fibers from the wavelength filters via a mass fusion splice. The first cassette workpiece and the second cassette workpiece are separate from each during at least one of the attaching, organizing, adjusting, and forming steps. The optical fibers may have predetermined lengths for being arranged in a helix configuration and folded to produce an organized fiber stack that fits within the confines of the cassette. A WDM cassette having an organized arrangement of optical fibers is also disclosed.

HINGED MODULAR SPLICE TRAY SYSTEMS FOR CLOSURES
A fiber optic closure including a spine, a platform, and a tray assembly is provided. The spine is extending along a vertical axis and forms a first wall extending along a transverse axis. The spine forms a second wall extending along a lateral axis. The platform is releasably attachable to the spine at the second wall. The platform is configured to extend in a first position alongside the second wall along the vertical axis. The platform is configured to extend in a second position at an angle from second wall between the vertical axis and the transverse axis. The tray assembly is releasably attachable to the first wall of the spine.
FIBER PEDESTAL WITH MULTIPLE CONFIGURATIONS
A fiber pedestal comprises a base, a cover, and a distribution box. The base, the cover, and the distribution box structured to form first configuration and a second configuration. The first configuration has a first volume and corresponds to an unassembled state of the fiber pedestal. The second configuration has a second volume that is larger than the first volume and corresponds to an assembled state of the fiber pedestal.
WAVELENGTH DIVISION MULTIPLEXING CASSETTE FOR A FIBER OPTIC NETWORK AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME

A WDM cassette having an organized arrangement of optical fibers is also disclosed.
Multi-work area fiber module
A fiber module is disclosed with an improved design that creates at least two work areas for managing fiber within the module body by including a work area floor that partitions the interior of the module to define at least two work areas. Each of the work areas includes their own fiber management equipment, as well as fiber routing elements for managing a length of slack fiber within each of the work areas. By segmenting the interior of the module into the multiple work spaces, the module described herein is more efficient when managing larger numbers of fibers.
TELECOMMUNICATIONS ENCLOSURE ORGANIZER
A closure includes a cover and seal block. A feeder cable pathway and rear cover is provided for separation of feeder cables from drop cables. The organizer in the closure includes an end cap and rear cable storage. Cable fixation clips, linear or bendable, can be used individually or daisy chained together. Cable fixation chambers are positioned on top of the gel block housing. The organizer is a click together organizer. Dual heights on cable guides on sides of the groove plate facilitate cable installation. Tray supports with rounded ends prevent looseness of the tray mounts. Other organizers include cable routing features for compact storage
