A communication radio for a water meter includes an antenna housing, a bracket integrally connected to the antenna housing, and an electronics housing pivotably connected to the bracket. A water meter assembly includes a water meter box having a lid with an inner surface, an outer surface and a hole formed in the lid, a water meter disposed in the water meter box, and a communication radio. The communication radio includes an antenna housing disposed on the outer surface of the lid, a bracket disposed on the inner surface of the lid and fixedly connected to the antenna housing through the hole, and an electronics housing connected to the bracket inside the water meter box in a pivotable manner for preventing contact between the electronics housing and the water meter.

Disclosed is an audio processing system that includes various audio signal inputs and outputs for producing distributed audio signals for use in audio processing and related applications. The digital and/or analog audio signal processing system includes a rack/chassis containing a central routing card, a plurality of slots for receiving modules and a plurality of inputs and outputs for receiving and producing various processed audio signal inputs and outputs.

A fiber distribution device includes a swing frame chassis pivotally mounted to a support structure. At least a first optical splitter module is mounted to the swing frame chassis. Pigtails having connectorized ends are carried by the swing frame chassis and have portions that are routed generally vertically on the swing frame chassis. An optical termination field includes fiber optic adapters carried by the swing frame chassis. The fiber optic adapters are configured to receive the connectorized ends of the pigtails.

A cable junction device including a housing having a bottom wall, a first forward-facing wall defining a first acute angle relative to the bottom wall, and a second forward-facing wall defining a second acute angle relative to the bottom wall. A single printed circuit board defines a third acute angle relative to the bottom wall. At least one first port extends from the first forward-facing wall toward an exterior of the housing. At least one second port extends from the second forward-facing wall toward the exterior of the housing. The at least one first port and the at least one second port each include a conductive pin configured to be directly electrically connected to the single printed circuit board.

A telecommunications assembly including a housing and a plurality of modules mounted within the housing. The modules includes a rear face in which is mounted at least one fiber optic connector. Within an interior of the housing are positioned at least one fiber optic adapters. Inserting the module through a front opening of the housing at a mounting location positions the connector of the module for insertion into and mating with the adapter of the housing. The adapters within the interior of the housing are mounted to a removable holder. A method of mounting a telecommunications module within a chassis.

The application relates to modular electronic apparatus (1) for distribution of RF communication signals. The apparatus comprises a chassis (2) arranged to removably receive plural modules (3), at least some of which are arranged to receive and process RF communication signals. A communication path (17) is provided for modules to communicate with each other and/or with the chassis. Plural modules received in the chassis. When a module is received in the chassis, it is arranged to broadcast a message over the communication path indicating its presence in the chassis and its type. At least one other module is arranged to adapt its behaviour in response to the message.

The present invention relates to a telecommunications termination panel with a tray pivotably mounted within the front opening of a housing. The tray pivots about a hinge located adjacent one of the sides of the housing and includes a raised floor. The raised floor of the tray cooperates with the side adjacent the hinge and a bottom of the housing to define a cable path from a rear cable access port to an opening on the tray adjacent the hinge. The tray includes a plurality of connection locations and cable management structures to direct a telecommunications cable from the cable access port to a rear of the connection locations without violating bend radius rules. The tray may also include a temporary cable holder to assist in pulling cables through the rear opening into the housing. The present invention further relates to a telecommunications equipment rack with a termination panel with such a pivoting tray mounted to the rack.
