Abstract: An enclosure (10) includes a base (38) defining a splice region (148) and a cover (40) coupled to the base (38) to move between a closed position and an open position. A plurality of ruggedized adapters (26) are on the cover (40), each adapter having an inner port (64) and an outer port (66). A removable module (32) is disposed on the cover (40), at least one input fiber (12) being routed from the splice region (148) of the base (38) to the removable module (32), wherein the at least one input fiber (12) is output from the module as a pigtail (28) having a connectorized end that is connected to an inner port (64) of a ruggedized adapter (26). A cable input location (16) receives an input cable (14/20) including at least one tube (138) surrounding at least one fiber (12) that carries the same signal as the at least one input fiber (12) being routed from the splice region (148) to the removable module (32). The input cable (14/20) is anchored to the base (38) at the cable input location (16). A tube holder (150) is slidably mounted to the base (38) past the cable input location (16), wherein the tube holder (150) keeps separate an unused fiber-carrying tube (138) that is stored within the base (38) in a loop (122) from a fiber-carrying tube (138) whose fiber (12) leads toward the splice region (148) of the base (38) for further routing toward the removable module (32).

Abstract: A hinge structure for pivotally mounting a first telecommunications element to a second telecommunications element includes a hinge pin provided on the first element and a hinge pin receiver provided on the second element. The hinge pin defines a notch separating the pin into two pin halves. The hinge pin receiver defines two sets of opposing surfaces, the two sets separated by a divider, the divider configured to be accommodated by the notch when the hinge pin is inserted into the hinge pin receiver, wherein each opposing surface set defines a slot for receiving each pin half.

Abstract: A mounting system for latching a cable management structure to a telecommunications fixture includes a first locking feature on the management structure defining first and second hook-like members separated apart, each defining a vertical slide portion and a larger vertical retention portion, the first locking feature including an elastically flexible latch between the first and second hook-like members. A second locking feature defining first and second slots is located on a planar wall of the telecommunications fixture, wherein the first and second slots define a receiver portion and a retention portion, the receiver portion for accommodating the retention portion of the hook-like members and the retention portion for accommodating the slide portion of the hook-like members, the second locking feature also defining a latch opening. The cable management structure also defines curvature that provides bend radius protection along at least two perpendicular planes.

Abstract: A hinge structure (2202) for pivotally mounting a first telecommunications element (2256) to a second telecommunications element (2224/2210) includes a hinge pin (2203) provided on the first element (2256) and a hinge pin receiver (2204) provided on the second element (2224/2210). The hinge pin (2203) defines a notch (2206) separating the pin (2203) into two pin halves (2205). The hinge pin receiver (2204) defines two sets of opposing surfaces (2214), the two sets (2214) separated by a divider (2212), the divider (2212) configured to be accommodated by the notch (2206) when the hinge pin (2203) is inserted into the hinge pin receiver (2204), wherein each opposing surface set (2214) defines a slot (2213) for receiving each pin half (2205).

Abstract: Tools and associated methods for facilitating feeding of optical fibers into a tube. In particular, the tools and associated methods are adapted to remove overlaps and tangles in the fibers as they are being fed into the tube. In this way, the number of fibers that can be fed into a tube of given transverse cross-sectional area can be maximized.
