    Abstract: An optical assembly includes a connector assembly, a plurality of port assemblies, and a frame assembly. The connector assembly includes an optical fiber connector. The plurality of port assemblies is fixed in position relative to each other. The frame assembly includes a frame directly attached to the connector assembly or directly attached to the plurality of port assemblies. The frame is moveable to align the connector with each of the port assemblies. The connector is insertable into each of the port assemblies when the connector is aligned with a respective one of the port assemblies by moving the connector or the respective port assembly aligned with the connector along a single axis and into the respective port assembly.

    Abstract: An optical connector assembly includes an optical component assembly, inner and outer optical fibers, a componentry cover, and a connector. The optical component assembly includes an optical unit. The inner and the outer optical fibers are on opposing sides of the optical unit such that the optical unit receives a first optical signal from the inner optical fiber and the outer optical fiber receives a second optical signal from the optical unit or such that the optical unit receives the second optical signal from the outer optical fiber and the inner optical fiber receives the first optical signal from the optical unit. The componentry cover encapsulates an entirety of the optical unit and portions of the inner and the outer optical fibers. The connector includes a portion of first outer optical fiber that is exposed to route the second optical signal.

    Abstract: A cabinet unit for use in an optical fiber distribution system may include a housing having a cavity, a plurality of extension portions contained within the housing, each extension portion being adapted to support an adapter for receiving cables aligned lengthwise with the extension portion, and a support structure formed on an inner surface of the housing, each extension portion being mounted to the housing by the support structure and extends away from the inner surface of the housing. The plurality of extension portions may be hingedly coupled to the support structure. A clearance between two adjacent extension portions of a given support bar may be configured to be adjusted by rotating the adjacent extension portions along their respective hinged connections.

    Abstract: An optical fiber termination system includes a housing, a cable, and a catch. The housing defines a portion of a passageway and a surface surrounding the passageway. The passageway defines a central axis and the surface defines an interior of the housing. The cable is receivable through the portion of the passageway. The cable includes an optical fiber and defines a longitudinal axis. The catch is receivable in the housing and attachable to and extendable from the cable in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis such that the catch limits movement of the cable in a direction away from the interior of the housing when the catch is received in the housing and the cable is received through the portion of the first passageway.

    Abstract: An optical fiber distribution system may include a housing that includes an end cap unit, a main cabinet unit, and a fiber termination unit. The main cabinet unit may have a door that opens to provide access to the interior of the main cabinet unit, which may include a plurality of cassettes in a stacked arrangement within the main cabinet unit. The cassettes may be rotatably coupled to a cassette support so that, when the door is open, the cassettes may be individually rotated at least partially out of the main cabinet unit to provide access to the cassettes for maintenance. The fiber distribution system may be mountable to a strand so that the system hangs in a suspended state, and a plurality of the main cabinet units may be coupled to one another in a cascading fashion to provide increased cassette capacity.

    Abstract: Cable grommets and related technology providing an optimized combination of ease-of-use and component protection when used in multi-cable terminals. A configurable cable grommet may be tailored to a cable and then placed on the cable to ensure watertight connection between the cable and a cable seal in which the cable is placed. The cable seal may be part of a multi-terminal enclosure, and thus when the cable with grommet is placed in the seal the grommet ensures that water or other elements do not get inside the terminal by getting through space between the cable seal and the cable.
