Cable cassette with self-locking mounting feature structurally configured to provide enhanced access to a lower cassette

An optical fiber management portion that is structurally arranged to provide enhanced access to a second optical fiber management portion, comprising:

• a body portion structurally arranged to receive an adapter portion;
• a connection portion structurally arranged to couple an optical fiber management portion with a mounting portion such that the optical fiber management portion is arranged to pivot relative to the mounting portion;
• wherein the connection portion comprises a pivot portion that is structurally arranged to be received in a pivot portion receiving portion of the mounting portion;
• wherein the pivot portion is structurally arranged to rotate relative to the pivot portion receiving portion such that the optical fiber management portion is structurally arranged to pivot between a raised position and a lowered position;
• wherein the connection portion comprises a locking portion that is structurally arranged to be received in a locking portion receiving portion of the mounting portion;
• wherein the locking portion is structurally arranged to be retained by the locking portion receiving portion to retain the optical fiber management portion in the raised position;
• wherein the locking portion is parallel to the pivot portion;
• wherein the pivot portion receiving portion is identical to the locking portion receiving portion;
• and
• wherein the pivot portion and the locking portion are structurally arranged to cooperate to provide a positioning mechanism that is structurally arranged to hold the optical fiber management portion in the raised position so as to provide enhanced access to a second optical fiber management portion positioned underneath the optical fiber management portion.

A device for providing enhanced access to an optical fiber management portion that is stacked below another fiber management portion comprising:

• an enhanced optical fiber management portion comprising:
• a pivot portion that is structurally arranged to rotate relative to a pivot portion receiving portion such that the optical fiber management portion is structurally arranged to pivot between a raised position and a lowered position;
• a locking portion that is structurally arranged to be retained by a locking portion receiving portion to retain the optical fiber management portion in the raised position;
• wherein the pivot portion receiving portion is identical to the locking portion receiving portion;
• wherein the locking portion is parallel to the pivot portion;
• and
• wherein enhanced optical fiber management portion is structurally configured to provide enhanced access to a second optical fiber management portion positioned underneath the optical fiber management portion by structurally arranging the pivot portion and the locking portion to cooperate with one another to provide a positioning mechanism that is structurally arranged to hold the optical fiber management portion in the raised position so as to provide enhanced access to the second optical fiber management portion.
