Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an optical splice package for splicing together first and second optical fibers or first and second sets of optical fibers. The optical fibers have elastic bending characteristics. The splice package includes a splice housing including a mechanical alignment feature for co-axially aligning ends of the first and second optical fibers or sets of optical fibers within the splice housing. The splice housing contains adhesive for securing the ends of the first and second optical fibers or sets of optical fibers within the splice housing. The optical package has a weight less than a spring force corresponding to the elastic bending characteristics of the first and second optical fibers or sets of optical fibers.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an optical fiber organizer (1) comprising at least one fiber storage means (4, 10, 19), a first support (3) for supporting the storage means, whereby the storage means (4, 10, 19) are rotatable connected to the first support (3), a second support (2) with at least one cable termination retention means for securing an incoming or outgoing cable having at least one optical fiber, characterized by the first support (3) being rotatably connected to the second support (2).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a positioning means for a fiber optic connector assembly, a fiber optic connector assembly and a fiber termination unit comprising the positioning means through which manufacturing tolerances can be absorbed to provide an improved optical interconnection with a high signal transmission rate. The positioning means comprises a receiving means for receiving one of a jack assembly or plug assembly and a stationary support supporting said receiving means, wherein the receiving means is displaceable to a certain extent relative to the stationary support at least along one direction other than a connection direction for optically interconnecting the optical fibers allowing an alignment of the receivable jack or plug assembly along the direction transversal to the connection direction. A spring loaded element resiliently urges said receiving means away from the support in one embodiment.

Abstract:
A cabinet having a framework for mounting telecommunications equipment includes a framework and telecommunications equipment mounted to the framework. The equipment may include splitter modules. Spools are mounted within the cabinet to manage overlength slack in fiber optic cables within the cabinet. A parking area is mounted within the cabinet and defines a plurality of cable connector storage locations for receiving at least some of the fiber optic cables. The plurality of spools are positioned intermediate the telecommunications equipment and the patch panel. A splice area is mounted within the cabinet or external to the cabinet.

Abstract:
Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relate to a telecommunications optical fiber management tray (100) that provides enhanced access to connectors and adapters. In one example, a fiber optic telecommunications tray (100) is disclosed which has movable components that can configure the tray between a storage position and an access position. In the storage position, one or more fiber optic connectors (154) and a fiber containment wall (106) extending from a base (104) of the tray (100) are positioned such that a port of a connector mounted (154) to the tray (100) has a longitudinal axis that passes through the fiber containment wall (106). In the access position, the one or more fiber optic connectors (154) and the fiber containment wall (106) are position such that the connector port longitudinal axis does not pass through the fiber containment wall (106). In the access position, adapters can be inserted or removed from the tray-mounted connectors without a line-of-sight obstruction from the fiber containment wall.
