    Abstract: An optical fiber distribution system may include a housing that includes an end cap unit, a main cabinet unit, and a fiber termination unit. The main cabinet unit may have a door that opens to provide access to the interior of the main cabinet unit, which may include a plurality of cassettes in a stacked arrangement within the main cabinet unit. The cassettes may be rotatably coupled to a cassette support so that, when the door is open, the cassettes may be individually rotated at least partially out of the main cabinet unit to provide access to the cassettes for maintenance. The fiber distribution system may be mountable to a strand so that the system hangs in a suspended state, and a plurality of the main cabinet units may be coupled to one another in a cascading fashion to provide increased cassette capacity.

    Abstract: An optical cable includes an optical component assembly, inner and outer optical fibers, a componentry cover, and a connector. The optical component assembly includes an optical unit. The inner and the outer optical fibers are on opposing sides of the optical unit such that the optical unit receives a first optical signal from the inner optical fiber and the outer optical fiber receives a second optical signal from the optical unit or such that the optical unit receives the second optical signal from the outer optical fiber and the inner optical fiber receives the first optical signal from the optical unit. The componentry cover encapsulates an entirety of the optical unit and portions of the inner and the outer optical fibers. The connector includes a portion of first outer optical fiber that is exposed to route the second optical signal.

    Abstract: A communication system may include a first chassis having first and second side walls and adapted to slidably receive therein a plurality of cassettes. A first cable hanger assembly may have a first side edge hingedly coupled to the first side wall of the first chassis, the first cable hanger assembly including a plurality of first hangers adapted to support cables thereon. An axis of rotation of the first cable hanger assembly may be substantially orthogonal to a direction in which the plurality of cassettes are slideable. The cable hanger assembly may be rotatable from a first position to a second position so that during rotation from the first position to the second position, the plurality of first hangers move toward front faces of the plurality of cassettes.

    Abstract: A connector assembly includes an adapter, a housing device, a ferrule assembly, and a sensor. The housing device is received by the adapter and has a bore, a front end, and a rear end opposite the front end. A ferrule of the ferrule assembly is within the bore of the housing device and has a mating end extending beyond the front end of the housing device. The sensor is mounted on the rear end of the housing, the rear end of the ferrule assembly, or on the adapter confronting and spaced apart from the housing device or the ferrule assembly. The sensor is configured for detecting a force applied by the housing device or the ferrule assembly, respectively. An electrical characteristic of the sensor changes to indicate a predetermined force has been applied by the housing device or the ferrule assembly, respectively.

    Abstract: A communication system includes an outer housing, an inner housing, and a hanger plate assembly. The outer housing has first and second side walls. The inner housing is at least partially positioned within the outer housing. The inner housing has first and second side walls and is configured to receive a plurality of patch panel devices therein in a stacked arrangement. The hanger plate assembly includes a first hanger plate hingedly coupled to the first side wall of the inner housing and a plurality of hangers connected to the first hanger plate in a stacked arrangement. Each hanger is adapted to support a cable thereon. The hanger plate assembly has a stored condition in which the hanger plate assembly is fully positioned within the outer housing, and a pulled out condition in which the hanger plate assembly is at least partially positioned outside the outer housing.

    Abstract: A cable guide apparatus includes a first longitudinal channel defined by first, second, and third walls, the third wall toward and away from the first. The second and third walls may have a plurality of openings to facilitate bending of the longitudinal channel and any cables secured therein. The first wall may include a plurality of closure mechanisms, such as hooks, and the third wall may include a plurality of closure mechanisms, such as lips. The cable guide apparatus has an open condition in which cables may easily be inserted into the channel, and a closed condition in which the cables are secured in the channel. The width of the openings may define a maximum amount the cable guide apparatus may bend, such that cables secured within the apparatus do not bend to the point of being damaged.
