Claims20
An optical fiber management device comprising:
- an integrated separation surface separating an upper level of storage and a lower level of storage;
- and
- an integrated adapter plate comprising a number of optical connectors and arranged at a first angle with respect to a floor of the device to accommodate optical fiber management components beneath at least a portion of the number of connectors while maintaining a particular radius bend limit corresponding to optical fiber.
A system comprising:
- an optical fiber management cassette comprising pre-terminated connectors;
- and
- a cabinet comprising:
- a radius limiter;
- a swinging arm connector to receive the optical fiber management cassette;
- a splitter housing;
- and
- a base configured for integrated optical fiber slack storage of at least one of:
- buffer tube;
- and
- ribbon cable.
8 more elements
A system comprising:
- an optical fiber management cassette comprising a first level and a second level of optical fiber storage separated by an angled separation surface;
- and
- a ribbonizing tool resiliently connected to the cassette.
