    Abstract: A telecommunications system (14) includes a chassis (12) defining a front (18), a rear (16), and a plurality of first signal connection locations (38) adjacent the rear (16). A plurality of removable cassettes (10) are housed within the chassis (12), each including a cassette body (68) defining a fixed portion (80) that is coupled to one of the first signal connection locations (38) on the chassis (12) and a movable portion (82) that telescopically slides relative to the fixed portion (80), wherein the movable portion (82) is configured for movement in a direction from the front (18) to the rear (16) of the chassis (12), each cassette (10) defining a plurality of second signal connection locations (58). A cable (24) between the fixed portion (80) and the movable portion (82) extends out from the movable portion (82) when that portion (82) is pulled forwardly to an extended position and is retracted into the cassette body (68) when the movable portion (82) is pushed rearwardly relative to the fixed portion (80).

    Abstract: First and second active optical modules that terminate first and second active optical cable segments, each of which having a respective active end and a respective passive end, can be authenticated by: reading information from active-end storage devices attached to the respective active ends of the first and second active optical modules; providing information read from the active-end storage devices to an aggregation point; reading information from passive-end storage devices attached to the respective passive ends of the first and second active optical cable segments; providing information read from passive-end storage devices to the aggregation point; and authenticating the first and second active optical modules using information provided to the aggregation point.

    Abstract: One embodiment is directed to a heterogeneous physical layer management system comprising first devices, each comprising first physical layer information acquisition technology to obtain physical layer information about cabling attached to the first devices. The system further comprises second devices, each comprising second physical layer information acquisition technology to obtain physical layer information about cabling attached to the second devices, wherein the second physical layer information acquisition technology differs from the first physical layer information acquisition technology. The system further comprises a common management application communicatively coupled to the first devices and the second devices, wherein the common management application is configured to aggregate physical layer information from the first devices and the second devices. Another embodiment is directed to providing a physical layer management application as a service hosted by a third party. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: A system (90) for routing a stack of fiber optic ribbons (100) includes a fiber optic cable (50) and a fiber guide tube (300). The fiber optic cable (50) includes a jacket (54) and a ribbon stack (110). The jacket (54) extends from a first end (56) to a second end (58). The ribbon stack (110) extends from a first end (112) to a second end (114). A jacketed portion (60) of the ribbon stack (110) is surrounded by the jacket (54) from the first end (56) of the jacket (54) to the second end (58) of the jacket (54). The fiber guide tube (300) extends from a first end (302) to a second end (304) along a central longitudinal axis (A1). The fiber guide tube (300) is positioned between the first end (56) of the jacket (54) and the first end (112) of the ribbon stack (110). The fiber guide tube (300) includes a round exterior (308) and an interior (310) with a rectangular cross-section (318). The rectangular cross-section (318) twists about the central longitudinal axis (A1) as the interior (310) extends from the first end (302) to the second end (304) of the fiber guide tube (300). A tubed portion (120) of the ribbon stack (110) is surrounded and twisted by the interior (310) of the fiber guide tube (300) from the first end (302) to the second end (304) of the fiber guide tube (300).
