Abstract: Various implementations of visual inspector attachments for fiber connector cleaners are disclosed. The example fiber optic inspection module includes a camera to capture an image of an end-face, a light source to illuminate the end-face, and a first mirror that reflects light from the light source to the end-face and includes a fixed point that allows the first mirror to pivot. Alternatively, an example fiber optic inspection module includes a camera to capture an image of an end-face, a light source to illuminate the end-face, and a first mirror that reflects light from the light source to the end-face and the first mirror moves in an upward direction.

Abstract: A fiber optic connector has a housing and a ferrule contained within the housing. The ferrule has a base portion, an endface portion protruding from the base, and at least one alignment tower extending from the base portion parallel to the endface portion. In one embodiment, the ferrule can have one alignment tower on each side of the endface portion. In one embodiment. The alignment towers extend the same distance from the base portion as the endface portion. In another embodiment, the alignment towers may be connected to the endface portion via webbing.

Abstract: A cable cleat assembly secures a bundle of cables to a ladder rack. The cable cleat assembly includes a base and two side bodies. Each side body is pivotally mounted to one of the ends of the base. Each side body has a first end, a middle section, and a second end. The first end of each side body includes a mounting member. The mounting member has a peg extending from each side of the mounting member and a circumferential rib. The pegs are mounted in the base with the circumferential rib positioned between alignment ribs extending from the base to enable the side bodies to pivot from an open position to a closed position.

Abstract: An interlocking cable cleat secures cables to a ladder rack. The interlocking cable cleat is formed from a first cable cleat half and a second cable cleat half. Each cable cleat half includes an outer surface, an inner surface, and at least one mounting hole extending from the outer surface to the inner surface. Semi-circular keys extend from the inner surface of each cable cleat half around the mounting holes in the cable cleat halves defining slots in the remainder of each mounting hole. Each slot receives one of the semi-circular keys from an opposing inverted cable cleat half to interlock the first cable cleat half to the second cable cleat half.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are various communications systems allowing for multiple contacts points between plug contacts in a communications plug and plug interface contacts (PICs) in a communications jack. In some disclosed implementations, a communications plug including a first and a second plug contact mated with a communications jack having a first and a second plug PIC may form a plurality of plug/jack interfaces. The plug/jack interfaces may form multiple current paths between the communications plug and the communications jack. When a signal propagates between the communications plug and the communications jack, it may be split in the communications plug between a first current path and a second current path, and recombined in the communications jack after traveling through the plurality of plug/jack interfaces.

Abstract: Various implementations of epoxy transitions for fiber optic modules are disclosed. As disclosed herein, a fiber optic module system may include a fiber optic module holding a plurality of multi-fiber adapters at a front of the fiber optic module, a multi-fiber cable, and an epoxy transition to transition the multi-fiber cable to a plurality of individual optical fibers inside the fiber optic module. The epoxy transition may be filled with an epoxy to secure the individual optical fibers inside the epoxy transition.

Abstract: The present invention provides modular trays having cutout features that are configured to engage with a mounting feature of one or more removable rails. The removable rails may be removably secured to a tray body in a plurality of positions to allow a user to install or uninstall rails to support different sized fiber optic modules. For example, a tray may support a twenty-four optical fiber module, two twelve optical fiber modules, or three eight optical fiber modules. Fiber optic enclosures housing the trays can be affixed to the outside of a fiber optic enclosure and allow for easy stacking and unstacking.

Abstract: A high density fiber enclosure system includes a chassis, cassette trays, an optional unification clip, cassettes, and an optional trunk cable management system. The chassis, cassette trays, and cassettes are configured such that individual cassettes may be installed, removed, and otherwise positioned for easy access by a user. The unification clip allows two adjacent cassette trays to be connected to one other such that cassette trays move as one unit. The trunk cable management system is designed to organize trunk cables and trunk cable furcation legs as well as relieve strain on the trunk cables and trunk cable furcation legs.

Abstract: Various implementations of lead frame style communications connectors are disclosed. In some implementations, a lead frame style communications connector may include a plurality of conductors each including a plug contact region and an opposing cable conductor termination region. Each of the plurality of conductors may be arranged in one of a first subset of conductors and a second subset of conductors. The lead frame style communications connector a mandrel separating the first subset of conductors from the second subset of conductors.
