Abstract
A telecommunications tray is configured for mounting to a telecommunications fixture. The tray includes a removably mounted telecommunications module that defines a body that is enclosed by a cover to define an interior. The module includes radius limiters within the interior for managing cables and defines connection locations for inputting and/or outputting signals via cables for processing within the module, the telecommunications module movably mounted to the tray.
Claims21
A telecommunications tray configured for mounting to a telecommunications fixture, the tray comprising:
- a telecommunications module that includes connection locations for inputting and/or outputting signals via cables for processing, the connection locations defined by fiber optic adapters, the telecommunications module movably mounted to the tray, wherein the tray includes a first tray hinge for pivotal mounting to the telecommunications fixture, and wherein the telecommunications module defines a module hinge that is configured to mate with a cooperating second tray hinge for allowing pivotal movement of the telecommunications module relative to the tray, wherein all of the first tray hinge, the module hinge, and the second tray hinge that cooperates with the module hinge are positioned along generally the same plane.
A telecommunications module configured for mounting within a telecommunications tray, the telecommunications module comprising:
- a body defining connection locations for inputting and/or outputting signals via cables, the telecommunications module further comprising a module hinge that is configured to mate with a hinge defined by the telecommunications tray for allowing pivotal movement to the body of the telecommunications module relative to the telecommunications tray, wherein the connection locations for inputting and/or outputting signals are defined by fiber optic adapters, wherein the telecommunications module has a locking tab for intermating with the telecommunications tray for locking the telecommunications module in a flat horizontal position, and wherein the telecommunications module further includes a stop tab for intermating with the telecommunications tray to act as a pivot stop during pivotal movement of the telecommunications module, wherein the pivotal movement of the telecommunications module is limited to between 1 and 10 degrees from a flat horizontal position.
