Abstract: A telecommunications frame assembly includes a frame for housing a first set of fiber optic distribution devices in a vertically stacked arrangement on a right side of the frame and a second set of fiber optic distribution devices in a vertically stacked arrangement on a left side of the frame, wherein the frame defines top and bottom openings adjacent the outer edges of the frame at each of the right side and the left side for selectively leading cables to or from the fiber optic distribution devices to be mounted on the frame, the frame further defining a central vertical trough extending from a central top opening defined by the frame, wherein radius limiters are provided in vertically stacked arrangements at each of the right side and the left side of the frame for selectively guiding cabling between the first set and the second set of fiber optic distribution devices, wherein the radius limiters allow cabling to pass through the central trough between the right and left sides of the frame and/or into the central trough from either of the right and left sides of the frame for selective routing from or to the central top opening, the frame further defining a bottom trough that extends horizontally between the right and left sides of the frame, wherein each of the bottom openings adjacent the outer edges of the frame at the right and left sides communicate with the bottom trough and wherein the radius limiters at each of the right side and the left side of the frame also allow cabling to pass from the fiber optic distribution devices to the bottom trough.

Abstract: A mounting system for latching a cable management structure to a telecommunications fixture so as to prevent relative sliding between the cable management structure and the telecommunications fixture and relative separation between the cable management structure and the telecommunications fixture that is in a direction generally perpendicular to the direction of the relative sliding includes a first locking feature in the form of first and second hook-like members separated apart, each defining a vertical slide portion and a vertical retention portion having a larger profile than the slide portion, the first locking feature also including an elastically flexible latch positioned between the first and second hook-like members, and a second locking feature in the form of first and second slots configured to align with the first and second hook-like members of the first locking feature, wherein each of the first and second slots defines a receiver portion and a retention portion, wherein the receiver portion is sized to accommodate the larger retention portion of the hook-like member and the retention portion is sized to accommodate the slide portion but not the larger retention portion of the hook-like member, the second locking features also defining a latch opening configured to receive the flexible latch of the first locking feature for preventing relative sliding between the cable management structure and the telecommunications fixture once the vertical slide portion of each hook-like member has been slid through the retention portion of each slot and the retention portion of each hook-like member is out of alignment with the receiver portion of each slot.

Abstract: A telecommunications rack system includes a first element defining splice locations and a second element defining adapters for receiving connectorized cabling, wherein the first and second elements are positioned on the same rack. A first end of a fiber optic pigtail is spliced at and extends from the splice locations of the first element. A second end is connectorized with a fiber optic connector that is coupled to an adapter of the second element. The pigtail extends between the first and second elements. A cable manager is removably mounted at the side of at least one of the first and second elements. The cable manager defines a U-shaped passage including ends that open toward one end of the elements and a closed end opposite the open ends. The U-shaped passage defines cable pass-throughs adjacent the closed end for transitioning cables from inside the U-shaped passage to an exterior thereof, wherein the connectorized pigtail is passed at least through a portion of the U-shaped passage and out the cable pass-through going from the first element to the second element.

Abstract: A mounting system for latching a cable management structure to a telecommunications fixture includes a first locking feature on the management structure defining first and second hook-like members separated apart, each defining a vertical slide portion and a larger vertical retention portion, the first locking feature including an elastically flexible latch between the first and second hook-like members. A second locking feature defining first and second slots is located on a planar wall of the telecommunications fixture, wherein the first and second slots define a receiver portion and a retention portion, the receiver portion for accommodating the retention portion of the hook-like members and the retention portion for accommodating the slide portion of the hook-like members, the second locking feature also defining a latch opening. The cable management structure also defines curvature that provides bend radius protection along at least two perpendicular planes.
