Abstract:
A drawer panel includes a chassis housing defining a first cable port; and a drawer mounted within the chassis housing. The drawer is configured to slide between an open position and a closed position. A termination region is positioned on the drawer. At least a first stub cable routed to the first cable port of the chassis housing. The first stub cable is terminated by a ruggedized multi-fiber connector. The drawer provides cable management to accommodate a change in slack length when the drawer is open and shut. A fanout device is mounted to the chassis housing with a mounting bracket.
Abstract:
Certain embodiments of a fiber distribution hub (200) include a swing frame (230) pivotally mounted within an enclosure having a reduced depth of less than 0,23 m. Termination modules mounted in the termination field (340) of the swing frame and oriented to slide at least partially in a front- to- rear direction to facilitate access to connectors plugged into the termination modules. Splitter modules mounted to the Splitter mount locations (320) and connector storage regions (330) can be provided within the enclosure.
Abstract:
A fiber optic cable assembly includes a fiber optic cable and a cable pulling assembly. The fiber optic cable includes a first end and an oppositely disposed second end. The fiber optic cable further includes an outer jacket and a strength member disposed in the outer jacket. The cable pulling assembly is engaged to the second end of the fiber optic cable. The cable pulling assembly includes an enclosure defining a cavity. The second end of the fiber optic cable is disposed in the cavity. An adhesive is disposed in the cavity. The adhesive secures the strength member of the fiber optic cable to the enclosure.
Abstract:
Certain embodiments of a fiber distribution hub include a swing frame pivotally mounted within an enclosure having a low profile. For example, the enclosure can have a depth of less than about nine inches. Termination modules can be mounted to the swing frame and oriented to slide at least partially in a front-to- rear direction to facilitate access to connectors plugged into the termination modules. Splitter modules and connector storage regions can be provided within the enclosure.
Abstract:
Certain types of fiber termination enclosures include an enclosure and at least one of a plurality of plate module mounting assemblies. Example plate module mounting assemblies include a termination panel plate assembly; a splice tray plate assembly; a cable spool plate assembly; and a drop-in plate assembly. Example cable spool plate assemblies include a cable spool arrangement rotationally coupled to a mounting plate, which fixedly mounts within the enclosure housing. A stand¬ off mount element may be disposed on the front of the cable spool arrangement to rotate in unison with the cable spool arrangement. The stand-off mount element may include one or more termination adapters.

Abstract:
A fiber optic telecommunications device includes an enclosure (21) defining an interior. A first fiber optic adapter is provided at the enclosure. A spool (89) is provided at an exterior of the enclosure. A fiber optic cable, which includes a first optical fiber, is wrapped around the spool. A first fiber optic connector is mounted at a first end of the first optical fiber. The first end of the first optical fiber is positioned within the interior of the enclosure. The first fiber optic connector is inserted within the first fiber optic adapter. The enclosure and the spool are configured to rotate in unison about a common axis when the fiber optic cable is unwound from the spool.
Abstract:
A fiber access terminal includes a drop cable side and a distribution cable side. The sides are separated by a frame to which a variety of cable management and cable connections components may be mounted. Optical fibers are routed from drop and distribution cables through a plurality of routing paths to splice trays for connection to other optical fibers. The terminal includes a base and a dome cover mounted to the base defining an enclosed interior. Passageways between the base and the dome cover are closed by removable covers to limit moisture and animals from accessing an interior of the dome cover. A tether connects the removable covers to the frame. The removable covers include one or more break out regions configured for being removed to receive one or more cables.
Abstract:
A cable pulling assembly (10) includes an enclosure (12) that is adapted for enclosing an end (13) of a fiber optic cable (14). The enclosure includes a first member (30) that defines a first cavity. The first cavity is adapted to receive a portion of the end of the fiber optic cable. The enclosure further includes a second member(30') that is selectively engaged to the first member. The second member defines a second cavity. The second member is structurally identical to the first member. The enclosure is adapted to transfer a tensile force applied to the enclosure to the strength layer (18) of the fiber optic cable.
Abstract:
A fiber optic enclosure includes a housing (23) and a cable spool assembly (25) disposed on an exterior surface of the housing. The cable spool assembly has a first tear-away end (55a) and a second tear-away end (55b). The first and second tear-away ends include at least one area of weakness (85) extending from an inner diameter of the cable spool assembly to an outer diameter of the cable spool assembly. A mounting plate (27) is rotationally engaged with the cable spool assembly (25) such that the cable spool assembly and the housing (23) selectively and unitarily rotate about an axis of the mounting plate.
