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 telecommunications closure (10) comprising cables (46), a cover (20), an interior frame (30), the frame (30) holding telecommunications equipment (32), and a seal block (40) sealing the cover (20) closed relative to one or more cables (46) which enter the closure (10). The frame (30) defines a plurality of clamp assembly holders (36). A plurality of clamp assemblies (60, 160, 260) are provided, each clamp assembly (60, 160, 260) for holding a cable including a jacket (48), interior optical fibers (52), and at least one interior strength member (50). Each clamp assembly (60, 160, 260) includes a jacket clamp assembly (64, 164, 264) moveable relative to the frame, and including a wrap (68) which mounts around the jacket, and a strength member clamp assembly (80, 180, 280) moveable relative to the frame. The wrap (68) wraps around the jacket (48) and is adjustable for different jacket diameters. The strength member clamp assembly (80, 180, 280) is mountable in a plurality of positions relative to the jacket clamp assembly (64, 164, 264) to account for variations in the relative location of the strength member relative to the jacket clamp assembly. The clamp assembly (60, 160, 260) is moveable relative to the frame (30) wherein the cable (46) is allowed to move to a proper position relative to the seal block (40) so as to reduce the likelihood of a leak by being centrally positioned relative to the cable opening through the seal block.

Abstract: Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relate to a telecommunications optical fiber management tray that provides enhanced access to connectors and adapters. In one example, a fiber optic telecommunications tray is disclosed which has movable components that can configure the tray between a storage position and an access position. In the storage position, one or more fiber optic connectors and a fiber containment wall extending from a base of the tray are positioned such that a port of a connector mounted to the tray has a longitudinal axis that passes through the fiber containment wall. In the access position, the one or more fiber optic connectors and the fiber containment wall are position such that the connector port longitudinal axis does not pass through the fiber containment wall. In the access position, adapters can be inserted or removed from the tray-mounted connectors without a line-of-sight obstruction from the fiber containment wall.

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).
