Estimating the term…
A high density fiber optic distribution frame includes a frame assembly, one or more left-hand connector module housings mounted on the frame assembly, one or more right-hand connector module housings mounted on the frame assembly and an Interbay Storage Unit (IBU) positioned on the frame assembly medially between the left-hand connector module housings and the right-hand connector module housings. Each connector module housing includes a mounting frame and at least one connector module having at least one fiber optic adapter for interconnecting optical fibers between connector modules on the distribution frame. The connector module is movable between a stowed position wherein the fiber optic adapter is not accessible and a deployed position wherein the fiber optic adapter is accessible. The distribution frame maintains the minimum bend radius of the optical fiber transitioned between connector modules, and reduces the length of a single length jumper employed on the frame.
A distribution frame for interconnecting optical fiber comprising:
A connector module housing for a distribution frame, the connector module housing comprising:
A method of routing optical fiber in the form of single length jumpers on a distribution frame comprising a first fiber connection area, a second fiber connection area and a fiber management area disposed between the first fiber connection area and the second fiber connection area, the method comprising:
