A reversible fiber optic cassette is disclosed for mounting in one of a first orientation and a second reversed orientation on a tray a plurality of stabilizing slots. At least one stabilizing member is held within a respective aperture in a cassette bottom such that an L-shaped slot engaging portion extends above the first surface and a second L-shaped slot engaging portion extends above the second surface. Each of the second L-shaped slot engaging portions engages with a respective one of the stabilizing slots when the cassette is on the tray in the first orientation and each of the first slot engaging portions engages with a respective one of the stabilizing slots when the cassette is on the tray in the second reversed orientation.

The present disclosure relates to enclosures, systems, methods, designs, and assemblies for converting (e.g., modifying, retrofitting, etc.) a first adapter mounting opening compatible with a first type of hardened fiber optic adapter to a second adapter mounting opening compatible with a second type of hardened fiber optic adapter.

There is disclosed a fiber optic cassette comprising a cassette body comprising a plurality of optic fiber receptacles arranged along a front thereof and a multifiber receptacle along a back thereof opposite the first end, the front and back defining a cable assembly receiving region there between, and a plurality of optic fibers. Each of the optic fibers terminated at a first end by one of the receptacles and all of the plurality of optic fibers terminated at a second end the multifiber receptacle. In an embodiment a casing is molded over a middle portion of each of the plurality of optic fibers and received within the cable assembly receiving region. In a particular embodiment the cassette is reversible and comprises a reversible securing element which is secureable on either side of the cassette body.

Disclosed are fiber optic assemblies for handling mini duplex connectors (MDC) including a rack-mountable chassis, independent sliding trays disposed in the chassis, and a plurality of MDC modules removably installable in the sliding trays. Each MDC module includes protruding features configured to interact with tray guides having corresponding features that permit vertical installation of the modules in the trays while preventing horizontal translation and rotational motion of the installed MDC modules. MDC modules may have various configuration, for instance MTP module, patching module and pre-terminated tailed module configurations. The assemblies and components disclosed herein maximize connections densities of MDC connectors while improving access thereto in high density applications.

The present disclosure describes apparatuses and methods for separating and installing optical fibers into furcation tubing. A fiber optic furcation assembly can include a fan-out structure. The fan out structure can include a conduit, and the conduit can extend from a first face of the fan-out structure to an opposing second face of the fan-out structure. The fiber optic furcation assembly can also include a furcation tube. The furcation tube can be positioned within the conduit, and the furcation tube can extend to a terminal end beyond the second face of the fan-out structure. The fiber optic furcation assembly can also include a fiber pull. The fiber pull can be positioned within the furcation tube, and the fiber pull can protrude in a first portion beyond the first face of the fan-out structure and the fiber pull can protrude in a second portion beyond the terminal end of the furcation tube, and the fiber optic furcation assembly can also include an attachment structure. The attachment structure can be fixed to the first portion of the fiber pull, and the attachment structure can receive and couple with an optical fiber. The fiber pull can include a diameter and the attachment structure can include a diameter. The diameter of the fiber pull and the diameter of the attachment structure can be less than a diameter of the furcation tube.

The present disclosure describes apparatuses and methods for separating and installing optical fibers into furcation tubing. A modular fiber optic furcation assembly can include one or more furcation bodies, each comprising a plurality of parallel conduits oriented in a single plane and extending from a first face of the furcation body to an opposing second face of the furcation body; and an attachment mechanism to removably attach the furcation body to at least one additional furcation body on a face orthogonal to each of the first face and second face of the fan-out structure.

A fiber optic system includes a telecommunications chassis defining a front and a rear, a plurality of blades slidably mounted to the chassis, the blades slidable in a direction extending from the front to the rear, and a plurality of fiber optic cassettes removably mounted to each blade. Each fiber optic cassette includes a housing defining a maximum cassette height, the housing formed by a base and a cover mounted thereon. Each cassette defines fiber optic connection locations. The base of each cassette defines a notched area for receiving a portion of the blade on which the cassette is mounted such that the blade does not increase the overall maximum height defined by the housing.

An interconnect system for a building includes a pre-terminated trunk cable assembly that has different groups of optical fibers carried by subunits and terminated by ferrules. The interconnect system also includes trays for managing interconnections with the ferrules. A plurality of adapters are disposed on each tray and arranged in a direction along a longitudinal axis of the tray. The adapters may be oriented at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis to facilitate routing of the optical fibers. At least one tray mount receiver may also be provided on each tray to cooperate with a tray mount that can secure a select subunit to the tray.

An optical cable includes a main body and a termination segment extending from an end of the main body. The main body includes middle portions of optical fibers. The termination segment includes end portions of the optical fibers and multi-fiber connectors attached to the end portions of the optical fibers. The multi-fiber connectors are staggered along a length of the termination segment.

A system for managing connections for optical fibers that extend from a cable comprises a tray and a tray mount. The tray includes a body having at least one tray mount receiver. The tray mount comprises a base that defines an interface for cooperating with the at least one tray mount receiver, and comprises a clamshell tube configured to receive the optical fibers. The clamshell tube is movable between an open position and a closed position. The tray mount is configured couple the optical fibers to the tray without additional tools.
