Abstract: A fiber optic telecommunications device includes a rack for mounting a plurality of chassis, each chassis including a plurality of trays slidably mounted thereon and arranged in a vertically stacked arrangement. Each tray includes fiber optic connection locations and a cable manager coupled to the tray and also coupled to the chassis, the cable manager for routing cables to and from the fiber optic connection locations and defining a plurality of link arms pivotally connected such that the manager retracts and extends with a corresponding movement of the tray, wherein the link arms pivot relative to each other to prevent cables managed therein from being bent in an arc having a radius of curvature less than a predetermined value, each link arm defining a top wall, a bottom wall, and two oppositely positioned sidewalls, each link arm defining an open portion along at least one of the sidewalls and an open portion along the top wall for receiving cables therein, the open portions along the top wall and the at least one of the sidewalls communicating with each other.

Abstract: A fiber optic telecommunications system includes a frame and a fiber optic module mounted on the frame via a slide assembly that includes a gear mechanism. The slide assembly is defined by a rack mount portion, a center portion, and a main housing portion. The rack mount portion is stationarily coupled to the frame, the center portion is slidably coupled to the rack mount portion along a sliding direction, and the main housing portion is slidably coupled to the center portion along the sliding direction. The center portion includes a latch for unlatching the center portion for slidable movement, wherein movement of the center portion with respect to the rack mount portion moves the main housing portion relative to the frame along the sliding direction. The main housing portion is configured for mounting adapters that receive connectorized cables for routing through the frame. The main housing portion includes electrical contacts for relaying an electrical connection established between an adapter mounted on the main housing portion and an optical connector inserted into the adapter, the electrical connection relayed from the electrical contacts of the main housing portion to a frame controller mounted on the frame via printed circuit boards.

Abstract: In managed connectivity systems, media reading interfaces at adapter blocks read information from storage devices attached to plug connectors. Media reading interfaces include one or more contact members. The contact members of certain types of media reading interfaces are held together by a base body to be handled as a unit. Certain types of media reading interfaces have support contacts that increase the beam length of the contact members. Certain types of media reading interfaces rock within the adapter block.
