Abstract: Example fiber optic connector systems have rugged, robust designs that are environmentally sealed and that are relatively easy to install and uninstall in the field. Some connector systems can be configured in the field to be compatible with different styles of fiber optic adapters. Some connectors include a first seal (90) on a release sleeve; and a second seal (88) between the release sleeve and a connector body. Other connectors include a seal (139) and a flexible latch (136) on a connector. Other connectors include a protective structure (228, 328, 428) that mounts over the fiber optic connector. Other connectors include a protective outer shell (528, 860) and a sealing and attachment insert (570, 570A, 876). Other connectors include a protective outer shell (728) and a fastener (780).

Abstract: A fiber optic splitter arrangement includes a housing defining a non-enterable interior; at least one optical power splitter disposed within the non-enterable interior; an input port carried by the housing; and a multi-fiber connection port carried by the housing. The input port and/or the multi-fiber connection port may be attached directly to the housing. Output fibers of more than one optical power splitter disposed within the non-enterable interior may be routed to the same multi-fiber connection port. Output fibers of a single optical power splitter may be routed to multiple multi-fiber connection ports.

Abstract: A mounting system for latching a cable management structure to a telecommunications fixture so as to prevent relative sliding between the cable management structure and the telecommunications fixture and relative separation between the cable management structure and the telecommunications fixture that is in a direction generally perpendicular to the direction of the relative sliding includes a first locking feature in the form of first and second hook-like members separated apart, each defining a vertical slide portion and a vertical retention portion having a larger profile than the slide portion, the first locking feature also including an elastically flexible latch positioned between the first and second hook-like members, and a second locking feature in the form of first and second slots configured to align with the first and second hook-like members of the first locking feature, wherein each of the first and second slots defines a receiver portion and a retention portion, wherein the receiver portion is sized to accommodate the larger retention portion of the hook-like member and the retention portion is sized to accommodate the slide portion but not the larger retention portion of the hook-like member, the second locking features also defining a latch opening configured to receive the flexible latch of the first locking feature for preventing relative sliding between the cable management structure and the telecommunications fixture once the vertical slide portion of each hook-like member has been slid through the retention portion of each slot and the retention portion of each hook-like member is out of alignment with the receiver portion of each slot.

Abstract: A wireless network includes connections stations (110, 120, 140) disposed along a distribution cable (101) that carries optical signals and power. Each connection station (110, 120, 140) has a port (115) at which the optical signals and power of the cable (101) are provided. A wireless module (150, 160, 170) can be mounted at a connection station (110) so that a connection arrangement of the wireless module (150, 160, 170) plugs into the port. The wireless module (150, 160, 170) can obtain power from the distribution cable (101) via the connection station (110, 120, 140). The wireless module (150, 160, 170) can broadcast the signals carried by the distribution cable (101) to the surrounding area.

Abstract: A fiber distribution system (10) includes a fiber distribution hub (20, 300); at least one fiber distribution terminal (30, 100); and a cable (40) wrapped around a spool (110) of the fiber distribution terminal (30, 100). The fiber distribution terminal (30, 100) includes a spool (110) and a management tray (120) that rotate together. A second connectorized end (40b) of the cable (40) is held at a fiber optic adapter (125) on the tray (120). After dispensing the first connectorized end (40a) to the hub (20), an optical splitter (70, 130, 140) can be mounted to the tray (120). The splitter (26, 70, 130, 140, 306) has output adapters at which patch cords (50) can be inserted to connect subscribers to the system. The fiber distribution hub can use the same format of splitters (26, 70, 130, 140, 306). Other distributed splitter systems are provided with splicing and/or adding of splitters as needed.

Abstract: A hybrid cable distribution system wherein a feeder cable is received by a box. The feeder cable can be a hybrid cable including optical fibers and copper wire (coax). The box may be used only for copper signal handling (such as coaxial signal handling), and then at a later date, the box may be used for receiving fiber signals. Customers can directly connect to the feeder fan out device by connecting a tail of a drop splice module that is spliced to an individual distribution cable to the feeder fan out device. This connection creates a point-to-point connection. The number of fan out devices in the system can be increased or decreased as needed. Alternatively, a splitter input can be connected to the feeder fan out device, such as through a pigtail extending from the splitter, wherein the splitter splits the signal as desired into a plurality of outputs. The outputs of the splitters can be in the form of connectors or adapters. The connectors or adapters are then connected to tails of drop splice modules that are spliced to individual distribution cables so that customers can receive a split signal. The cable distribution system allows for mixing of connection types to the customer(s) such as a direct connection (point-to-point), or a split signal connection. Further, the types of splitters can be mixed and varied as desired. Further, the types of fan out devices can be mixed and varied as desired.

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 telecommunications tray (50/300/400/600/900/1100/1200/1400/1800) is configured for mounting to a telecommunications fixture. The tray (50) includes a removably mounted telecommunications module (100/200/302/402/700/800/1000/1100/1300/1900/2000) that defines a body that is enclosed by a cover (1102/1320/1924) to define an interior. The module (100/200/302/402/700/800/1000/1100/1300/1900/2000) includes radius limiters (902/1356/1358/1954) within the interior for managing cables and defines connection locations for inputting and/or outputting signals via cables for processing within the module (100/200/302/402/700/800/1000/1100/1300/1900/2000), the telecommunications module (100/200/302/402/700/800/1000/1100/1300/1900/2000) movably mounted to the tray (50/300/400/600/900/1100/1200/1400/1800).
