Abstract: An adapter assembly includes a single-piece or two-piece multi-fiber adapter defining a recess at which a contact assembly is disposed. The adapter assemblies can be disposed within adapter block assemblies or cassettes, which can be mounted to moveable trays. Both ports of the adapters disposed within adapter block assemblies are accessible. Only one port of each adapter disposed within the cassettes are accessible. Circuit boards can be mounted within the block assemblies or cassettes to provide communication between the contact assemblies and a data network.

Abstract: A fiber optic cassette includes a housing with a base and a cover. The base defines an open front between first and second sidewalls, which transition into first and second curved rear wall portions. The first and second curved rear wall portions define an adapter mount therebetween forming at least one pocket. A signal entry location defined by at least one MPO adapter is positioned within the pocket and defines an exterior port and an interior port. A fiber optic cable connectorized by an MPO format connector is mated to the exterior port. An adapter block defining a plurality of second fiber optic adapters is mounted to the base via a first snap-fit interlock to close the open front, each second fiber optic adapter including an exterior port and an interior port. An MPO format connector is mated to the interior port of the MPO format adapter and terminates a plurality of fibers that are terminated at opposite ends with connectors that are mated to the interior ports of the second fiber optic adapters, wherein each fiber extending from the adapter mount to the second fiber optic adapters being the same length and relaying the fiber optic signal to fiber optic connectors to be coupled to the exterior ports of the adapters of the adapter block.

Abstract: A fiber optic telecommunications device includes a frame and a fiber optic module including a rack mount portion, a center portion, and a main housing portion. The rack mount portion is stationarily coupled to the frame, the center portion is slidably coupled to the rack mount portion along a sliding direction, and the main housing portion is slidably coupled to the center portion along the sliding direction. The main housing portion of the fiber optic module includes fiber optic connection locations for connecting cables to be routed through the frame. The center portion of the fiber optic module includes a radius limiter for guiding cables between the main housing portion and the frame, the center portion also including a latch for unlatching the center portion for slidable movement. Slidable movement of the center portion with respect to the rack mount portion moves the main housing portion with respect to the frame along the sliding direction.

Abstract: A cable assembly for optical monitoring is assembled by laying optical fibers into an adhesive layer on a substrate to form an optical circuit. First ends of the fibers are arranged in various groups and second ends of the fibers are arranged in various groups. Groups at a first end of the circuit are spliced to coupler input fibers and coupler output fibers. Groups at the second end of the circuit are terminated at one or more input connectors, one or more output connectors, and one or more monitoring connectors. Some cable assemblies monitor signals received at the input connectors. Other cable assemblies monitor signals received at both the input connectors and the output connectors.
