Abstract: A spool device (60, 90) for storing at least a portion of a telecommunications cable (800) in a storage configuration (870) includes a base (100, 600), a spool member (300, 700), and a loop engaging member (440, 740). The base (100, 600) includes a plurality of cable holders (110, 110x, 110y, 110a, 110p) configured for receiving a first portion (822, 822a, 822p) and a second portion (824, 824p) of the cable (800). The spool member (300, 700) is mounted to the base (100, 600) and includes a wrapping area (314, 714) that is configured for storing a coiled portion (826) of the cable (800). The loop engaging member (440, 740) is configured for engaging a looped portion (828) of the cable (800) and thereby secures at least the coiled portion (826) and the looped portion (828) of the cable (800). The spool device (60, 90) may be used as an adjustable overlength device for looped cable. The spool device (60, 90) may store and dispense the cable (800) while ends (802, 804) of the cable (800) remain connected to stationary first and second devices (902, 904), respectively.

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: Example wall outlets include a base; a spool arrangement that mounts to the base; and a cable wound around the spool arrangement at the drum region. The base includes a mounting wall and a sidewall. The base defines a port and defines a first annular perimeter. The spool arrangement is rotatable relative to the base. The spool arrangement includes a drum region, a management region, and an aperture extending between the drum region and the management region. The drum region is enclosed by the sidewall of the base and the management region extends outwardly beyond the base. The cable has a first end extending through the aperture and terminated at a first fiber optic ferrule held at the management region. The cable also has a second end that extends through the port defined in the base and is terminated at a second fiber optic ferrule disposed external of the base.

Abstract: Telecommunications enclosures (10, 110) and related methods are disclosed. In one aspect, the enclosure (10) includes a base (20), a cover (40), a lock assembly (70) for securing the base (20) to the cover (40), and a key (60) for operating the lock assembly (70). In one aspect, a lock clip (80) of the lock assembly (70) enables operation of the lock assembly (70) when the cover (40) is in the closed position. In another aspect, the lock clip (80) disables operation of the lock assembly (70) when the cover (40) is in the open position such that the lock assembly (70) is prevented from being operated out of the open position. In yet another aspect, the key (60) is prevented from being removed from the cover (40) when the key (60) operates the lock assembly (70) out of the locked position.
