Abstract:
A low cost universal network interface device capable of accommodating various terminating devices. The network interface device generally including a base defining an interior cavity, and being further defined by a provider portion and a subscriber portion. The network interface device further including a protective outer cover having an integrated override feature operable for permitting access to the provider portion and the subscriber portion of the base in one step. The network interface device also includes an improved terminating device having a locking feature having a locking slide and a movable latch for preventing unauthorized access to the interior of the terminating device. The network interface device further comprises a sealing grommet having a wave like shape for sealingly enveloping provider or subscriber lines that are routed into the base, thereby preventing outside contaminants from entering.
Abstract:
An enclosure for housing communications equipment at subscriber premises includes at least one cable port for receiving service provider cable, a subscriber cable, and ground cable. The enclosure further includes housing having base and outer cover movably attached to base between opened position and closed position to define housing interior volume when outer cover is in closed position. A grounding post extends from base within the housing interior volume and is electrically connectable with ground cable. Active electronic components located in the housing interior volume connect service provider cable with subscriber cable. Service provider security nut attachable to the grounding post both fixes the active electronic components within the housing and grounds active electronic components to grounding post and ground cable. The active electronic components may be mounted to movable inner cover and outer cover may include skirt extending in first direction to obscure cable ports, mounting feet, and hinges.
Abstract:
A cross-connect module (120) is disclosed herein. The cross-connect module includes a housing (122) having a front end (126) and a rear end (128). The rear end includes a printed circuit board (190) mounted to the module. First and second switching jacks (134a, 134b) positioned adjacent the front end of the housing. A DIN type rear connector (150) is mechanically mounted to the printed circuit board. The switching jacks are routed to the DIN type rear connector via coaxial cables (200) that are terminated to the connector. The printed circuit board is used to route a tracer lamp circuit of the module to power and ground through the DIN type rear connector.
Abstract:
A Test Access Matrix (TAM) system permits installation onto an existing connector block. The TAM system exhibits a configuration that permits installation on to telecommunications circuits at the connection point provided for installation of protection modules (1) or other devices (1) that are inserted into the telecommunications circuit. The installation can be accomplished either before new or after existing connector blocks are installed on a telecommunication cross connect frame, tie frame, or other support structure. The TAM system can be instructed to connect a two or four wire test bus to any of the individual telecommunications circuits that are connected to the connector block. The test bus can be connected to the individual communication circuits in either a bridging, break towards the distribution side of the local loop, break towards the telecommunications equipments, or an insertion into the line via a "make before break" sequence.
Abstract:
A network interface device (NID) for a fiber optic communications network is provided for housing optical, electrical and/or coaxial connections and active and/or passive components. The NID includes a base and a movable panel defining a connection area and a components area. In one embodiment, a first base defines a first compartment for housing the panel and a second base defining a second compartment for storing drop cable slack, the first base being movably attached to the second base to provide access to the drop cable slack without disturbing the connections. In another embodiment, the panel defines a first compartment for optical and electrical connections and a second compartment for active and passive components, the second compartment being accessible to only the service provider. In another embodiment, the panel is removable and interchangeable to permit the service provider to upgrade the services or to expand services provided to a subscriber.
