A low profile fiber network interface device is disclosed including a housing enclosure having a front cover hinged to a rear fixed housing portion. An inner connection divider wall is also hingedly fixed to the enclosure which is rotatable between a position which the divider wall lies against the fixed housing portion, and to an open position where it lies adjacent to the open cover. The divider wall also includes a rotatable working tray which rotates to a substantial horizontal position, and the tray includes devices for retaining coiled fiber in position. The divider wall also includes an interface wall including a plurality of fiber optic connector headers whereby one side is accessible only from the back side of the divider wall, whereas the other header is accessible from the front of the divider wall. In this manner, when the divider wall is locked in the closed position, users cannot access the opposite side which is dedicated to the telecom service.
A fiber optic interconnection enclosure, comprising a housing enclosure, said housing enclosure having a main housing portion having a back wall and a cover portion, a fiber optic interconnection divider wall dividing the housing enclosure into a telecom interconnection area and a user interconnection area, said interconnection divider wall having a connection interface to provide the interface between the telecom interconnection area and the user interconnection area, the interconnection divider wall being comprised of a main divider wall extending substantially planar with said back wall, and an interface wall extending substantially transverse to said main divider wall, said connection interface being provided on said transverse interface wall, said user interface area being provided on a front side of said main divider wall and said telecom interconnection area being provided on a back side of said main divider wall.
A fiber optic interconnection enclosure, comprising a housing enclosure, a fiber optic interconnection divider wall dividing the housing enclosure into a telecom interconnection area and a user interconnection area, said divider wall including a rotatable work tray positioned in said telecom interconnection area, which pivots about a horizontal axis, said rotatable work tray being positioned on a back side of said divider wall and being profiled to pivot about a horizontal axis, said divider wall can be rotated to its fully open position, whereby said rotatable work tray can be rotated downwardly to a position adjacent to horizontal.
A fiber optic interconnection enclosure, comprising a housing enclosure, a connection interface positioned within said housing enclosure, defining an interface between a telecom interconnection and a user interconnection, and a rotatable work tray which pivots about a horizontal axis, said rotatable work tray being positioned on a back side of said divider wall and being profiled to pivot about a horizontal axis, said divider wall can be rotated to its fully open position, whereby said rotatable work tray can be rotated downwardly to a position adjacent to horizontal.
A fiber optic interconnection enclosure assembly, comprising:
The fiber optic interconnection enclosure of claim 37, further comprising a fiber optic header member mounted to said interface wall, with fiber optic connector ports on opposite sides of said interface wall, with user fiber optic connector ports positioned within said user interconnection area and with telecom fiber optic connector ports positioned within said telecom interconnection area.
