    摘要: A support frame (10) for a cabling trunk assembly (1) is disclosed. In one embodiment, the support frame (10) has a main body (11) defining a mounting surface (41), and a first extension leg (50) extending along a first side edge (42) of the main body (11) and away from the mounting surface (41). Similarly, the support frame (10) can be provided with a second extension leg (52) that extends along a second side edge (44) of the main body (11) and away from the mounting surface (41). The extension legs (50, 52) may be provided with tabs (54, 56) to provide a secure connection with receiving grooves (28, 29) on a channel (12) of the cabling trunk assembly (1). The extension legs (50, 52) may also be configured to provide a snap-fit connection with the receiving grooves (28, 29).

    摘要: The present disclosure generally relates to a method for processing optical fibers supported by a multi-fiber ferrule. The method can include laser cutting first and second rows of optical fibers in a first fiber cutting step by directing a laser beam in a first direction relative to the ferrule. The laser beam can cut the second row of optical fibers to a first fiber extension length and cut the first row of optical fibers to a second fiber extension length. The method can also include laser cutting the first row of optical fibers by directing a laser beam in a second direction relative to the multi-fiber ferrule. The laser beam cuts the first row of optical fibers to the first fiber extension length and by-passes the second row of optical fibers such that optical fibers of the second row of optical fibers remain at the first fiber extension length.

    摘要: A fiber optic cassette includes a body defining a front and an opposite rear. A cable entry location, such as a multi-fiber connector, is defined on the body for a cable to enter the cassette, wherein a plurality of optical fibers from the cable extend into the cassette and form terminations at one or more single or multi-fiber connectors adjacent the front of the body. A flexible substrate is positioned between the cable entry location and the connectors adjacent the front of the body, the flexible substrate rigidly supporting the plurality of optical fibers. Each of the connectors adjacent the front of the body includes a ferrule. Dark fibers can be provided if not all fiber locations are used in the multi-fiber connectors. Multiple flexible substrates can be used with one or more multi-fiber connectors.
