Abstract
A fiber optic system includes an enclosure and a mounting bracket that cooperate to define a mechanical coupling interface including a slide interface and a snap-fit interface. The slide interface allows the enclosure to mount to the bracket along a first dimension and retains the enclosure at the bracket along second and third dimensions that are transverse to the first dimension and transverse to each other. The snap-fit interface, once triggered, retains the enclosure at the bracket along the first dimension.
Claims19
A fiber optic system comprising:
- a telecommunications enclosure having a cover removably attachable to a base, the base having a first mechanical interface;
- and
- a mounting bracket arrangement detachably mountable to the telecommunications enclosure, the mounting bracket arrangement including:
- a main bracket including a second mechanical interface that is mateable with the first mechanical interface, the main bracket defining fastener openings for mounting the main bracket to a structure;
- an aerial strand mount unit detachably mountable to the main bracket, the aerial strand mount unit including a first strand mount arm and a second strand mount arm, the first and second strand mount arms each project outwardly from the main bracket when the aerial strand mount unit is mounted to the main bracket, the first and second strand mount arms each include a strand clamp;
- and
- a cable storage unit detachably mountable to the main bracket, the cable storage unit including a plurality of cable management arms, each cable management arm projects outwardly from the main bracket when the cable storage unit is mounted to the main bracket, and each cable management arm includes a cable support for storing excess cable in a coiled configuration about the cable storage unit.

A mounting bracket arrangement for a telecommunications enclosure, the mounting bracket arrangement comprising:
- a main bracket including fastener openings for mounting the main bracket to a structure;
- an aerial strand mount unit detachably mountable to the main bracket, the aerial strand mount unit including a first strand mount arm and a second strand mount arm, the first and second strand mount arms each project outwardly from the main bracket when the aerial strand mount unit is mounted to the main bracket, the first and second strand mount arms each include a strand clamp, wherein the strand clamps of the aerial strand mount unit are attachable to an overhead cable, and the first and second strand mount arms are moveable relative to the main bracket for adjusting a distance between the overhead cable and the main bracket;
- and
- a cable storage unit detachably mountable to the main bracket, the cable storage unit including a plurality of cable management arms, each cable management arm projects outwardly from the main bracket when the cable storage unit is mounted to the main bracket, and each cable management arm includes a cable support for storing excess cable in a coiled configuration about the cable storage unit.
