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 sliding tray is configured to support one or more optical communications modules and includes a body portion having one or more mounting locations for the one or more optical communications modules. A trough projects from the body portion and is configured to support optical fibers connected to the one or more optical communications modules. A cover is pivotably connected to the tray for selectively covering the trough. A front wall of the cover may include a labeling surface, with a removable lens covering the labeling surface. A stop to limit the sliding direction of said sliding tray in the rearward direction may also be provided.

A pivoting mounting bracket enables a user to select a cable entry direction for a pre-cabled chassis. The cable can be anchored to the mounting bracket prior to selecting the cable entry direction. A cable guide may protect against overbending of the cable during pivoting of the mounting bracket. Certain types of chassis can be pre-cabled with at least 576 or even at least 864 optical fibers within a 5 RU space. Certain types of chassis can include a v-shaped panel to hold front ports (e.g., optical adapters)

A hinge assembly for pivotally coupling a door to a telecommunications chassis includes a hinge structure configured to attach the door to the telecommunications chassis, the hinge structure defining a door pivot point and a hinge pivot point that is spaced from the door pivot point, wherein a door coupled by the hinge structure to the telecommunications chassis can pivot with respect to the hinge structure independent of a pivoting motion of the hinge structure with respect to the telecommunications chassis, wherein the hinge structure further defines at least a portion of a pivot limiting structure spaced from the hinge pivot point, the portion of the pivot limiting structure defined by the hinge structure being configured to interact with the telecommunications chassis in limiting the pivoting motion of the hinge structure.

A termination field and a guide member are independently pivotally coupled to a base body. The termination field pivots relative to the base body along a path of travel. The guide member is coupled to the base body to provide bend radius protection to cables plugged into the termination field. The guide member defines a channel leading the cables from the termination field towards a first side of the base body at an exterior of the base body. In certain examples, the guide member and termination field pivot relative to the base body about different hinge axes. In other examples, the termination field pivots with the guide member for part of the path of travel and relative to the guide member for another part of the path of travel.

The disclosure is directed at a rack unit that provides an improved system and method for users to identify the ports within the rack unit. The rack unit includes a designation plate pivots between a lowered position where the user can identify the ports within the rack unit and a raised position where the user has more space to insert a cable into an identified port.

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.

A towerless telecommunications tray assembly includes a first telecommunications tray defining a first connection arrangement and second telecommunications tray defining a second connection arrangement, the first and second connection arrangements rotatably connecting the first tray to the second tray. In one aspect, the first and second connection arrangements define an indexing feature that provides a holding force when the first tray is moved into an open position and when the first tray is moved into a closed position. In some examples, the first and second trays are identical.
