Abstract: A multi-positionable tray assembly (20) for mounting within a chassis (10) of a telecommunications panel (100) is disclosed. The multi-positionable tray assembly (20) may include support arm (24) that pivotally supports a tray (22) and that allows the tray assembly (20) to be installed and removed from the chassis (10). The tray (22) and the support arm (24) cooperatively define a cable routing pathway (208) that extends through a pivot axis (A1) defined by the tray and the support arm. To minimize the required depth of the tray (10) and optimize cable routing, the tray (20) can include a cable management structure (102) with a patch panel (104) having a plurality of adapters (108) arranged along a transverse axis (A2), wherein the transverse axis is non-parallel or oblique to a front plane (A4) of the tray.

Abstract: A cable management structure (100, 200, 300) for an optical fiber distribution rack (10) is disclosed. In one aspect, the cable management structure (100) supports cables extending from an optical fiber distribution element (50) supported by the rack (10). In one embodiment, a plurality of first cable support guides (102a) are vertically aligned along a first plane (190) while a plurality of second cable support guides (102b) are vertically aligned along a second plane (192). As presented, the first cable support guides (102a) are offset from the second cable support guides (102b) such that the first plane (190) is horizontally recessed from the second plane (192). In one embodiment a side channel frame (130) is provided to support the cable support guides (102). In another embodiment, the optical fiber distribution element (50) is provided with linearly spaced mounting arrangements (60) configured for engagement with cable support guides (202, 302).

Abstract: An optical fiber distribution system including a rack and elements which populate the rack including fiber terminations. Each element includes a chassis and a movable tray. The movable tray includes a synchronized movement device for moving a cable radius limiter. The tray includes cable terminations which extend in a line generally parallel to a direction of movement of the movable tray. Each of the cable terminations are mounted on hinged frame members positioned on each tray. The cables entering and exiting the movable tray follow a generally S-shaped pathway.

Abstract: A hinge structure for pivotally mounting a first telecommunications element to a second telecommunications element includes a hinge pin provided on the first element and a hinge pin receiver provided on the second element. The hinge pin defines a notch separating the pin into two pin halves. The hinge pin receiver defines two sets of opposing surfaces, the two sets separated by a divider, the divider configured to be accommodated by the notch when the hinge pin is inserted into the hinge pin receiver, wherein each opposing surface set defines a slot for receiving each pin half.

Abstract: An optical fiber management system (10) includes a telecommunications fixture (14) and a telecommunications tray (16) pivotally mounted to the telecommunications fixture (14) via a hinge structure (18) positioned at an edge (22) of the tray (16). At least one end (24) of the tray edge (22) that is spaced from the hinge structure (18) defines a fiber guide (26) having a generally cylindrical configuration with open ends (28) for guiding fibers in and/or out of the tray (16). The fiber guide (26) is nested within a reinforcement channel (46) defined by a generally U-shaped wall (48) of the telecommunications fixture (14), the U-shaped wall (48) defining opposing vertical wall portions (50) for abutting the cable guide (26) of the tray (16) for retaining the cable guide (26) within the reinforcement channel (46) during pivotal movement of the tray (16).

Abstract: A telecommunications system includes a chassis defining a first side and an opposite second side. A tray is pivotally mounted to the chassis between a closed storage position and an open access position relative to the chassis. At least one telecommunications component is removably mounted to the tray. One of an input or output cable from the telecommunications component extends out to an exterior of the chassis from the first side of the chassis, and the other of the input or output cable from the telecommunications component follows a cable path across the chassis, positioned above the pivotable tray, and extends out to the exterior of the chassis from the opposite second side of the chassis.
