Abstract
Optical fiber management assemblies. The assemblies can be installed in telecommunications equipment, such as telecommunications closures. The assemblies include parts with multiple features unitarily integrated therewith, minimizing the number of parts needed to manufacture, process, and put together the assembly. In some embodiments, the assemblies are adjustable in size depending on fiber management needs.
Claims29
An optical fiber management assembly, comprising:
- a piece including, unitarily integrated therewith, at least two of:
- (i) a baseplate for mounting a portion of a cable jacket fixation subassembly to the baseplate;
- (ii) a basket for storing loops of optical fibers;
- and
- (iii) a fiber router including a structure for mounting a fiber sheath holder module to the fiber router.
An optical fiber management assembly, comprising:
- a piece including, unitarily integrated therewith:
- (i) a baseplate for mounting a portion of a cable jacket fixation subassembly to the baseplate;
- (ii) a basket for storing loops of optical fibers;
- and
- (iii) a fiber router including a structure for mounting a fiber sheath holder module to the fiber router, the fiber router being positioned between the baseplate and the basket.
An optical fiber management assembly, comprising:
- a basket for storing loops of optical fibers;
- and
- a basket expansion piece configured to snap connect to the basket to expand the size of the basket and increase optical fiber loop storage capacity of the basket.
