Abstract: A panel system includes a front door attached to a chassis by a living hinge. In certain examples, the door also is pivotally attached to the living hinge. The living hinge components can snap-fit to the front door and/or to the chassis. The panel system also may have a mounting bracket that attaches to the chassis without tools to hold the chassis at a rack. The mounting bracket may be mounted at any of multiple predetermined positions along the depth of the chassis.

Abstract: An optical module includes a housing; an optical adapter arrangement disposed at the housing; a cable inlet leading from an exterior of the housing to the interior of the housing; and a splice location disposed within the interior of the housing. Optical pigtails extend from the optical adapter arrangement to the splice location. Certain types of modules have a removable splice tray having a bend radius limiting arrangement surrounding multiple splice channels. Certain types of modules have first and second chambers separated by a wall defining a pass-through aperture.

Abstract: A bladed chassis system facilitates installation of the bladed chassis system and replacement of the blades at the chassis. Blades can be inserted and removed from the front and/or the rear of the bladed chassis system at the discretion of the user. Blades can be moved between discrete positions. In examples, blades can be one-handedly released from the chassis to allow movement between discrete positions. In examples, accidental movement past a discrete position is inhibited. Accidental removal of the blades from the chassis is inhibited. The chassis and blades cooperate to manage the optical fiber cables routed through a cable port in the chassis to the blades.

Abstract: A blade for use within a chassis panel includes alternating types of mounting stations at which port modules can be received. Various example port modules include single-fiber adapter packs, multi-fiber adapter packs, adapter modules defining rear ports, and optical cassettes defining rear non-port entrances.

Abstract: A splice equipment assembly includes two routing paths along opposite sides of a splice region. The two routing paths do not cross. The two routing paths do not extend circumferentially around the splice region. The two routing paths provide adequate slack to allow a splice tray to be removed from the splice region and moved to a workstation outside of the splice equipment assembly. Multiple splice equipment assemblies can be mounted to the same rack (e.g., at a front and rear of the rack).

Abstract: A termination panel includes a termination bulkhead formed of multiple pivoting bulkhead members. Each bulkhead member is configured to selectively pivot about a pivot axis extending through a middle region of the bulkhead member. The bulkhead members may pivot independent of each other or may entrain pivoting motion of adjacent bulkhead members. In certain examples, the location of the pivot axis about which the bulkhead members pivot can be changed without changing the bulkhead members.

Abstract: A telecommunications equipment frame including a base, and two vertical uprights, and a top member; the upright members defining an upper equipment zone and a lower cable tray zone. One or more front trays are in the lower cable tray zone, and openings are provided through the frame to one or more rear trays. The equipment zone defined by the two uprights is open without cable management structure for receiving telecommunications equipment. At least one slack storage zone adjacent to the central zone includes a plurality of cable management devices for storing cable slack.

Abstract: A latching arrangement by which a tray arrangement is releasably held in one or more positions relative to a chassis is at least partially actuated by a cable guide extending forwardly from the tray arrangement. In some example latching arrangements, the cable guide is pivoted relative to the tray arrangement to release a stop member from the chassis. In other example latching arrangements, the cable guide is slid relative to the tray arrangement to release the stop member. Certain types of latching arrangements have a second stop member that is separately actuated by a different part (e.g., an actuation leg) of the latching arrangement.
