Abstract: A fiber management tray (10) is disclosed. The fiber management tray (10) can have a body (12) including a bottom wall (14) with side walls (16) extending outwardly from the bottom wall (14). The fiber management tray (10) can include a termination region (18) that has a first side (24) and a second side (26). The termination region (18) includes a termination panel (13) that holds connectors (20). The fiber management tray (10) can include a hinge area (56) for mounting said tray (10) to a tray tower (58) and a storage basket (32) located between the termination region (18) and the hinge area (56). The storage basket (32) can include a first pocket (44) that communicates with the second side (26) of the termination region (18) and an opposite second pocket (48) that communicates with the first side (24) of the termination region (18). The fiber management tray (10) can define at least one fiber routing path on each of the first and second pockets (44, 48) of the storage basket (32). The fiber management tray (10) can define a fiber transition opening (54) for transitioning optical fibers between the second pocket (48) of the storage basket (32) and first side (24) of the termination region (18). The fiber transition opening (54) can have an access structure for allowing optical fibers to be inserted into the fiber transition opening (54).

Abstract: An optical fiber management system (10) includes a telecommunications fixture (14) and a telecommunications tray (16) pivotally mounted to the telecommunications fixture (14) via a hinge structure (18) positioned at an edge (22) of the tray (16). At least one end (24) of the tray edge (22) that is spaced from the hinge structure (18) defines a fiber guide (26) having a generally cylindrical configuration with open ends (28) for guiding fibers in and/or out of the tray (16). The fiber guide (26) is nested within a reinforcement channel (46) defined by a generally U-shaped wall (48) of the telecommunications fixture (14), the U-shaped wall (48) defining opposing vertical wall portions (50) for abutting the cable guide (26) of the tray (16) for retaining the cable guide (26) within the reinforcement channel (46) during pivotal movement of the tray (16).

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: Sealing device for feeding through at least one filament, the sealing device comprising a housing, having a seal block compartment bounded by a front wall, a back wall, and side walls. The front wall and the back wall each include several correspondingly aligned slots having an open end at an open top face of the seal block compartment. The sealing device additionally comprising a seal block arranged in the seal block compartment. The seal block includes slits being open sided towards the open sided top face of the seal block compartment, each slit being aligned with the correspondingly aligned slots in the front and back walls, so that one can feed through a filament by sliding an intermediate part of the filament from the open end into the slit and the corresponding slots of the front and back wall.

Abstract: A mounting system (700/900) for locking two pieces of telecommunications equipment (610/810) to prevent relative sliding therebetween and relative separation therebetween in a direction generally perpendicular to the direction of the relative sliding includes a first locking feature (701/901) defined by a stud (702/902) with a stem portion (708/908) and a flange portion (710/910) having a larger profile than the stem portion (708/908) and a second locking feature (703/903) defined by a slot (704/904) with a receiver portion (712/912) and a retention portion (714/914). The receiver portion (712/912) is sized to accommodate the flange portion (710/910) of the stud (702/902) and the retention portion (714/914) is sized to accommodate the stem portion (708/908) but not the flange portion (710/910) of the stud (702/902). A third locking feature (705/905) prevents relative sliding between the two pieces of telecommunications equipment (610/810) once the stud stem portion (708/908) has been slid within the slot retention portion (714/914) and the stud flange portion (710/910) is out of alignment with the slot receiver portion (712/912).
