    Abstract: A cable mount for fixing a strength member of a fiber optic cable to a fixture includes a front end, a rear end, and a longitudinal channel therebetween, the channel defined by upper and lower transverse walls and a vertical divider wall. The channel receives a portion of the cable. A strength member pocket receives the strength member of the cable, the pocket located on an opposite side of the divider wall from the longitudinal channel, the pocket communicating with the longitudinal channel through an opening on the divider wall. A strength member clamp fixes the strength member of the cable against axial pull. Cable management structures in the form of spools define at least one notch that communicates with the longitudinal channel for guiding optical fibers extending from a jacket either upwardly or downwardly therethrough. The cable mount also allows routing of the optical fibers through the longitudinal channel all the way from the rear end to the front end.

    Abstract: A multi-positionable tray assembly (20) for mounting within a chassis (10) of a telecommunications panel (100) is disclosed. The multi-positionable tray assembly (20) may include a support arm (24) that pivotally supports a tray (22) and that allows the tray assembly (20) to be installed and removed from the chassis (10). The tray (22) and the support arm (24) cooperatively define a cable routing pathway (208) extending through a pivot axis (A1) defined by the tray and the support arm. To minimize the required tray (22) depth and optimize cable routing, the tray (20) can include a cable management structure (102) with a patch panel (104) having a plurality of adapters (108) arranged along a transverse axis (A2) that is non-parallel or oblique to a front plane (A4) of the tray. To improve connector access, rotatable patch cable holders (400) can be provided on the patch panel (104).

    Abstract: Example telecommunications wall outlets (200) include a base structure (220) and a stationary spool structure (237) extending from the base structure (220). The spool structure (237) includes a hub portion (248) extending between a first wall (238) and a second wall (250). A length of fiber optic cable (190) is coiled about the hub portion (248) between the first and second walls (238, 250). A cover (260) is also provided which covers at least a portion of the spool structure (237). The cover (260) includes a port (266) aligned over the hub portion (248) through which the length of cable can be dispensed from the spool structure (237) by unwinding the cable (190) about the spool structure (237) such that the port (266) revolves around the spool structure (237). Additional embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: A fiber-optic connector housing (50) and cable (20, 20′) are attached together by an anchor (100, 200). The anchor includes a one-piece main body, a passage (110, 210), and an injection port (130, 230). The passage extends between first (102, 202) and second ends (104, 204) of the anchor. Strength members (40, 40′) of the cable are secured within the passage by a bonding material (90) and are thereby anchored to the connector housing. A proximal end (54) of the connector housing includes first (60) and second housing components (70) which capture the anchor. The passage passes through an optical fiber (30) of the cable. The passage includes first (120, 220), second (170, 270), and third portions (180, 280). The first portion radially positions the optical fiber. The second portion receives the bonding material and the strength members. The third portion receives a jacket (26, 26′) of the fiber optic cable. The injection port delivers the bonding material to the passage. The anchor may further include retention tabs (150) that fit within corresponding receivers (62, 72) within the connector.
