    Abstract: A rackmount case for the accommodation of optical equipment and labelling tag is disclosed. The case comprises a box like housing comprising an end defining a rectangular opening, labelling tags each comprising a rectangular tag plate and a plurality of hinge elements arranged along an edge of the rectangular tag plate. At least one labelling tag receiving slot is within the housing for receiving one of the labelling tags. The slot comprises an opening adjacent the housing opening and a plurality of hinge elements adjacent the slot opening. The labelling tags are moveable between a first position, wherein the tags are held within the slot, and a second position wherein the tags are outside of the slot and each of the hinge elements is engaged by a respective of the second hinge elements such that the tags are rotatable about an axis in parallel to the slot opening.

    Abstract: A fiber optic cross connect system comprising a case defining a tray receiving space and at least one tray slideable in and out of the space between a first closed position, a second intermediate position and a third open or accessible position and a sliding engagment between a sidewall of the case and a side edge of the tray is disclosed. The sliding engagment comprises an elongate link member which is stationary as the tray is moved between the first closed position and the second intermediate position and moves with the tray as the tray is moved between the second intermediate and the third open position and such that the elongate link member does not interfere with fiber optic cables which are interconnecting external devices with devices on the tray. In a particular embodiment the link member is held stationary by a releasable locking mechanism.

    Abstract: A modular fiber optic cassette and tray assembly is disclosed. The assembly comprises a tray engaging part which engages with a cassette engaging part on the tray and such that the cassettes may be arranged horizontally side by side on the trays. The cassettes are mounted to a front of a tray and such that a portion of each cassette is positioned in front of the tray. In an embodiment, a release mechanism such as a push button is provided on top of each cassette for disengaging the tray engaging part from the cassette engaging part. Still in another embodiment a plurality of trays and cassettes are provided stacked on top of one another.

    Abstract: A latch mechanism for retaining a tray in a selected one of a first, second position and third position. The latch mechanism comprises notches arranged on an inner surface of the housing along an axis parallel to a direction of travel of the tray, an elongate actuator on the tray and opposite the inner surface, the actuator comprising a first elongate member and a second elongate member, an inner end of the first elongate member connected to an inner end of the second elongate member at a connection point, a stop positioned at the connection point wherein the stop is biased laterally towards the inner surface. By increasing a distance between an outer end of the first elongate member and an outer end of the second elongate member the stop is moveable from an unactuated state wherein the stop is engageable by a selected one of the notches and such that the tray is retainable in a selected one of the first, second and third position, to an actuated state wherein the stop moves laterally against the biasing force away from the inner surface and such that the stop is no longer engageable by one of the notches.

    Abstract: A network plug terminating a cable and configured for mating with a socket, and comprising a plurality of terminal contacts disposed along a forward face thereof, each of the terminal contacts terminating a respective one of a plurality of twisted pairs of conductors and such that when the plug is inserted into the socket each of the terminal contacts comes into contact with a respective tine in the socket. The plug further comprises a flexible tab comprising a tab release member and a slider connected to the tab release member. The slider is configured for movement along a length of the plug against a biasing force between a first position, wherein the flexible tab is in an unflexed state and engageable by a tab engaging feature in the socket and a second position wherein the flexible tab is in a flexed state and not engageable by the tab engaging feature.
