20100129028 | FIBER OPTIC TELECOMMUNICATIONS MODULE - A telecommunications module includes a main housing with an optical component within an interior of the main housing and a fiber optic adapter block coupled to the main housing, the adapter block including a one-piece main body including a top wall and a bottom wall, the adapter block defining a plurality of openings extending from a front end to a rear end of the main body, each opening defining a separate adapter, each opening defining a longitudinal axis, the adapters being configured to receive connectorized cables extending from the optical component within the interior of the main housing, the adapter block including at least one guide rail extending generally between the top wall and the bottom wall of the main body, the guide rail configured for slidably mounting the fiber optic telecommunications module to a telecommunications device once the adapter block has been coupled to the main housing, wherein the main housing includes an integrally formed pivotable latching arm configured to pivot for selectively latching and unlatching the telecommunications module for slidable movement with respect to the telecommunications device. | 05-27-2010 |
20110182558 | INSECT-INFESTATION PREVENTION DEVICE FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT - An insect-infestation prevention device and a fiber optic telecommunications equipment including an insect-infestation prevention device is disclosed. The fiber optic telecommunications equipment includes a housing with a main housing portion defining a first transverse wall, a front wall, a rear wall, a top wall, and a bottom wall, cooperatively defining an interior. A cable exit/entry is provided opening on one of the front wall, the rear wall, the top wall, and the bottom wall. A removable insect-infestation prevention device is located adjacent the cable exit/entry opening, the insect-infestation prevention device including cable openings communicating with the cable exit/entry opening. The cable openings of the device are sized to accommodate fiber optic cables exiting or entering the housing while limiting the amount of free space around the fiber optic cables to prevent insects from entering the housing. A removable cover mounted to the main housing portion defines a second transverse wall of the housing and captures the insect-infestation prevention device against the main housing portion. | 07-28-2011 |
20120301096 | ADAPTER PLATE FOR FIBER OPTIC MODULE - An adapter plate for use with a telecommunications module that is configured to be slidably inserted into a first type of telecommunications chassis comprises a body configured to be mounted to the telecommunications module. The body of the adapter plate includes structure for mounting the telecommunications module to a second type of telecommunications chassis that is different than the first type of telecommunications chassis, wherein the telecommunications module is not configured to be mounted to the second type of telecommunications chassis without the adapter plate. | 11-29-2012 |
20130170810 | Fiber Management Panel - A telecommunications termination panel includes a pivoting tray with cable connection locations. Cables extending to the connection locations enter through the rear or the side exit through the side of the panel. Cable management structures direct cables to and away from the connection locations. A first trough extends from the rear to the front of the panel housing, the first trough raised from the floor thereof. A second trough extends from the rear to the front of the tray and is pivotal relative to the first trough with movement of the tray. When the tray is closed, the troughs are parallel and when the tray is open, the troughs are perpendicular to each other. The second trough is raised from the first trough such that cables extending from the first into the second trough are not pinched when the tray is pivoted closed. | 07-04-2013 |
20140016930 | MONITORING OPTICAL DECAY IN FIBER CONNECTIVITY SYSTEMS - A tracking system includes a tracking arrangement including a processor, memory, and at least a first interface port; and one or more optical modules. Each optical module includes a housing having at least one input port, at least a first output port, and at least a first monitoring port. An optical power splitter arrangement and an optical receiver are disposed within the housing. The splitter arrangement splits optical signals received at the input port onto one or more output lines and one or more monitoring lines. The output lines are routed to the output ports and the monitoring lines are routed to the optical receiver. The optical receiver measures the power of optical signals received from the first monitoring line and provides a measurement signal to the first monitoring port of the housing. | 01-16-2014 |

The system includes a first optical transmission service comprising a common wavelength pair routed from a source to each of a plurality of subscribers. The system further includes a second optical transmission service comprising a plurality of unique wavelength pairs, where each of the unique wavelength pairs is routed from the source to a subscriber among the plurality of subscribers. The system delivers the first optical transmission service and the second optical transmission service to the subscriber on a single optical fiber. | 08-21-2014 |
20140254986 | PASSIVE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM USING FIBER INDEXING - The present disclosure relates to systems and method for deploying a fiber optic network. Distribution devices are used to index fibers within the system to ensure that live fibers are provided at output locations throughout the system. In an example, fibers can be indexed in multiple directions within the system. In an example, fibers can be stored and deployed form storage spools. | 09-11-2014 |
20150055954 | Wave Division Multiplexer Arrangement for Small Cell Networks - A passive optical network includes a central office providing subscriber signals; a fiber distribution hub including an optical power splitter and a termination field; and a drop terminal. Distribution fibers have first ends coupled to output ports of a drop terminal and second ends coupled to the termination field. A remote unit of a DAS is retrofitted to the network by routing a second feeder cable from a base station to the hub and coupling one the distribution fibers to the second feeder cable. The remote unit is plugged into the corresponding drop terminal port, for example, with a cable arrangement having a sealed wave division multiplexer. | 02-26-2015 |
