Abstract: A cable management structure for holding cable holders in a telecommunications equipment cabinet includes a base, a first pair of sidewalls extending from the base, and a ramp terminating in a shoulder at each end of each sidewall. The first pair of sidewalls define a space for holding one or more cable holders, and the shoulder of each sidewall prevents a cable holder from sliding out of the space once the cable holder is inserted between the first pair of sidewalls.

Abstract: A telecommunications system (10) includes a chassis (14) defining a first side (18) and an opposite second side (20). A tray (16) is pivotally mounted to the chassis (14) between a closed storage position and an open access position relative to the chassis (14). At least one telecommunications component (12) is removably mounted to the tray (16). One of an input or output cable (30, 32) from the telecommunications component (12) extends out to an exterior of the chassis (14) from the first side (18) of the chassis (14), and the other of the input or output cable (30, 32) from the telecommunications component (12) follows a cable path across the chassis (14), positioned above the pivotable tray (16), and extends out to the exterior of the chassis (14) from the opposite second side (20) of the chassis (14).

Abstract: A fiber optic adapter (736/836) includes a body configured to mate a first fiber optic connector (12) with a second fiber optic connector (50), the first and second fiber optic connectors (12,50) including latches (60) for mating with catches (771) of the adapter (736/836) for releasably engaging the first and second connectors (12,50) with the fiber optic adapter (736/836), wherein the latches (60) are configured to be unlatched from the catches (771) by direct contact with the latches (60). The adapter (736/836) includes a release mechanism (702/802) for allowing a user to release the latch (60) of at least one of the first and second fiber optic connectors (12,50) from the adapter (736/836) without directly contacting the latch (60) of the at least one of the first and second fiber optic connectors (12,50).

Abstract: A universal mounting mechanism for mounting a telecommunications chassis to a telecommunications fixture includes a mounting bracket defining a rear portion for mounting to the fixture and a front portion for slidably receiving the chassis, the front portion including a latch opening. A locking spring is configured for mounting to the chassis, the spring configured to flex laterally to snap in to the latch opening. A release handle is configured to be slidably mounted to the chassis, the release handle defining a deflection tab for moving the locking spring out of the latch opening when the handle is slid rearward to forward. A cover is configured to be mounted to the chassis, the cover defining a deflection ramp for interacting with the deflection tab of the handle to move the deflection tab laterally to contact the spring when the release handle is slid.

Abstract: A termination field and a guide member are independently pivotally coupled to a base body. The termination field pivots relative to the base body along a path of travel. The guide member is coupled to the base body to provide bend radius protection to cables plugged into the termination field. The guide member defines a channel leading the cables from the termination field towards a first side of the base body at an exterior of the base body. In certain examples, the guide member and termination field pivot relative to the base body about different hinge axes. In other examples, the termination field pivots with the guide member for part of the path of travel and relative to the guide member for another part of the path of travel.
