20130287356 | SLIDABLE FIBER OPTIC CONNECTION MODULE WITH CABLE SLACK MANAGEMENT - A fiber optic telecommunications device includes a frame and a fiber optic module including a rack mount portion, a center portion, and a main housing portion. The rack mount portion is stationarily coupled to the frame, the center portion is slidably coupled to the rack mount portion along a sliding direction, and the main housing portion is slidably coupled to the center portion along the sliding direction. The main housing portion of the fiber optic module includes fiber optic connection locations for connecting cables to be routed through the frame. The center portion of the fiber optic module includes a radius limiter for guiding cables between the main housing portion and the frame, the center portion also including a latch for unlatching the center portion for slidable movement. Slidable movement of the center portion with respect to the rack mount portion moves the main housing portion with respect to the frame along the sliding direction. | 10-31-2013 |
20130287357 | SLIDABLE FIBER OPTIC CONNECTION MODULE WITH CABLE SLACK MANAGEMENT - A fiber optic telecommunications device includes a frame and a fiber optic module including a rack mount portion, a center portion, and a main housing portion. The rack mount portion is stationarily coupled to the frame, the center portion is slidably coupled to the rack mount portion along a sliding direction, and the main housing portion is slidably coupled to the center portion along the sliding direction. The main housing portion of the fiber optic module includes fiber optic connection locations for connecting cables to be routed through the frame. The center portion of the fiber optic module includes a radius limiter for guiding cables between the main housing portion and the frame, the center portion also including a latch for unlatching the center portion for slidable movement. Slidable movement of the center portion with respect to the rack mount portion moves the main housing portion with respect to the frame along the sliding direction. | 10-31-2013 |
20130315549 | SPLICE CASSETTES AND CHIPS - A splice cassette includes a base and a cover. The base includes an outer channel and an inner storage region separated by a spool wall. The cover is configured to mount to the base to enclose the inner storage region. The outer channel extends radially outwardly from a perimeter of the cover. The cover includes guide spools and a chip receiving arrangement disposed on an inwardly-facing surface that faces the base when the cover mounts to the base. The splice chip remains on the cover when the cover is removed from the base. | 11-28-2013 |
20140072297 | OPTICAL FIBER LOOPBACK ADAPTER - A passive optical fiber loopback adapter includes a first transmission port, a second transmission port, a first reception port, and a second reception port. A non-switched optical device is connected to each of the ports. The non-switched optical device routes light signals from the first transmission port to an appropriate port, based on the wavelength of the light signal. For example, a transmission light signal having a first wavelength is routed automatically to the second transmission port. A test light signal having a second wavelength different than the first wavelength is routed automatically to the second reception port. | 03-13-2014 |
20140086545 | Slidable Fiber Optic Connection Module with Cable Slack Management - A fiber optic telecommunications device includes a frame and a fiber optic module including a rack mount portion, a center portion, and a main housing portion. The rack mount portion is stationarily coupled to the frame, the center portion is slidably coupled to the rack mount portion along a sliding direction, and the main housing portion is slidably coupled to the center portion along the sliding direction. The main housing portion of the fiber optic module includes fiber optic connection locations for connecting cables to be routed through the frame. The center portion of the fiber optic module includes a radius limiter for guiding cables between the main housing portion and the frame, the center portion also including a latch for unlatching the center portion for slidable movement. Slidable movement of the center portion with respect to the rack mount portion moves the main housing portion with respect to the frame along the sliding direction. | 03-27-2014 |
20140259602 | TELECOMMUNICATIONS ASSEMBLY WITH PATCH CORD STORAGE - A telecommunications assembly includes a tray assembly including a tray and a cable spool assembly rotatably mounted to the tray, a connector holder arrangement for temporarily holding connectors, wherein the connector holder arrangement is mounted for rotation with the cable spool assembly, and cable storage arrangements for individually storing cables from the cable spool assembly to the connector holder arrangement. After a main cable is unwound from the cable spool assembly, a connector can be removed from the connector holder assembly, and cable slack stored in the cable storage arrangement can be removed allowing connection of the connector to equipment. | 09-18-2014 |
20150060539 | TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS WITH MANAGED CONNECTIVITY - Management elements (e.g., an RFID tag, an RFID reader, a barcode, a QR code, etc.) can be retro-fitted to cables, connectors, and/or equipment to store PLI for the cables, connectors, and/or equipment after deployment and/or connection of the equipment. The management elements can be added in the field without replacing the telecommunication components or disconnecting cables from the telecommunication components. | 03-05-2015 |
20150293323 | SLIDABLE FIBER OPTIC CONNECTION MODULE WITH CABLE SLACK MANAGEMENT - A fiber optic telecommunications device includes a frame and a fiber optic module including a rack mount portion, a center portion, and a main housing portion. The rack mount portion is stationarily coupled to the frame, the center portion is slidably coupled to the rack mount portion along a sliding direction, and the main housing portion is slidably coupled to the center portion along the sliding direction. The main housing portion of the fiber optic module includes fiber optic connection locations for connecting cables to be routed through the frame. The center portion of the fiber optic module includes a radius limiter for guiding cables between the main housing portion and the frame, the center portion also including a latch for unlatching the center portion for slidable movement. Slidable movement of the center portion with respect to the rack mount portion moves the main housing portion with respect to the frame along the sliding direction. | 10-15-2015 |
