Abstract: A fiber distribution system includes one or more fiber distribution hubs (FDHs) that provide an interface at a termination panel between incoming fibers routed from a central office and outgoing fibers routed to network subscribers. Termination modules can be incrementally added to the termination panel. The FDH can include one or more optical splitter modules that split an optical signal into two or more signals. The optical splitter modules can be incrementally added along with one or more storage modules. The subscriber termination panel, optical splitters, and storage modules can be provided on a swing frame.

Abstract: Couplers for a cable trough system including a spacing defined by first and second guiding surfaces, the spacing being sized to receive the terminal end of a trough member into the spacing. One or more springs are carried on the couplers and may be at least partially disposed within the spacing between the first and the second guiding surfaces. The springs urge the terminal end of the trough member against the coupler upon insertion of the terminal end into the spacing. One or more locking elements are coupled adjacent to the springs to move between a locking position and a released position. The locking elements may slide longitudinally or move perpendicularly to the couplers. A first trough member may be released from the couplers independent from a second trough member coupled to the couplers. Methods for use of the couplers are also provided.

Abstract: A telecommunications optical fiber distribution system is disclosed. The system comprises a support structure with an upper end, a lower end, a front side, a rear side, and a longitudinal axis. An input cable carrying an input signal and an output cable carrying an output signal is received into the system through the lower end. A plurality of signal splitters located at the upper end of the support structure split the input signal into a plurality of secondary signals. The system includes a plurality of adapters arranged radially about the longitudinal axis along the front side of the support structure. The adapters connect the secondary signals to the output signal. A cable management structure having portions located both along the front side between the plurality of adapters and the splitters and adjacent the back side manage and direct cables going from the input opening to the splitters and from the splitters to the adapters.
