摘要： An assembly capable of enclosing and sealing an intermediate section of an optical fiber includes a plurality of sealing mechanisms arranged such that the assembly can be entered to gain access to electronic components for servicing without affecting an environment occupied by optical fiber broken out of an optical fiber cable. Accordingly, physical integrity of the exposed fiber, and its associated connectors and splices, is not compromised. The assembly further includes a plurality of card cages, each of which has its own integral backplane having socket connectors which allow for connection to an adjacent card cage backplane within the assembly. During initial deployment of the assembly where less than all card cages for maximum capacity are initially required to be deployed, segmenting the backplane reduces the first installed cost of the assembly. Finally, multiple alarms are provided for the assembly to alert a central office that a cover of the assembly has been removed and a humidity level within a vicinity of the broken out fiber cable exceeds a predetermined level.

摘要： An apparatus and method for support and alignment of electronic modules. Electronic modules have V-shaped grooves in their top and bottom surfaces. A rack assembly includes an upper frame and a lower frame, each having a plurality of parallel guide members attached to a support member. The upper and lower frames are advantageously constructed as mirror images of each other. The guide members are adapted to be received in the grooves in the electronic modules, the guide members of the upper frame receiving the grooves in the top surfaces of the modules and the guide members of the lower frame receiving the grooves in the bottom surfaces of the modules. A module is installed in the assembly by aligning the grooves in the module with the corresponding guide members of the frames and pushing the module into the rack assembly. As the module moves into the assembly, the guide members are received in the grooves of the module thereby supporting the module and aligning electrical connectors on the module with electrical connectors on a backplane or other unit.
