Entry and internal fiber clips for a fiber management system

A fiber management system having an enclosure, comprising:

• an internal fiber clip for segregating a plurality of fiber optic cables from other fiber optic cables in the enclosure;
• and
• an entry fiber clip guiding at least one of the plurality of fiber optic cables segregated by the internal fiber clip to a telecommunications system external to the enclosure, the entry fiber clip including a fiber guide portion having first and second spaced-apart side walls and a base portion, the fiber guide portion having a plunger extending substantially perpendicularly away from an exterior side of the base portion, the plunger having a shaft for entering into an opening in an external wall of the enclosure and a hook at the end of the shaft for latching onto a back edge of the opening to attach the entry fiber clip to the external wall, wherein the fiber guide portion has an exterior side with a plurality of ribs formed thereon, the plurality of ribs defining a groove that closely receives an edge of the external wall of the enclosure when the entry fiber clip is attached to the external wall.

An entry fiber clip for guiding fiber optic cable between an enclosure and a telecommunications system, the entry fiber clip comprising:

• a fiber guide portion having first and second spaced-apart side walls and a base portion, the first side wall having a catch on an outer surface thereof, the catch having a sloped surface and a front surface that define a lip, the fiber guide portion having a plunger extending substantially perpendicularly away from an exterior side of the base portion, the plunger having a shaft and a hook at the end of the shaft for latching onto an edge of an appropriately sized opening in an external wall of the enclosure when attaching the entry fiber clip to the external wall;
• and
• a door locking mechanism having a door with a first end and a second end, the door being connected at the first end to a latch mechanism having an opening formed therein, the opening lying in a plane that is substantially perpendicular to a plane of the door, the door being rotatably connected at the second end to the second side wall for rotational movement about an axis between an open position and a closed position, the opening of the latch mechanism receiving the lip of the catch when the door is rotated into the closed position.

An entry fiber clip for guiding optical fiber cable in an optical fiber management system, comprising:

• a fiber guide portion having first and second spaced-apart side walls and a base portion, the fiber guide portion having a plunger extending substantially perpendicularly away from an exterior side of the base portion, the plunger having a shaft and a hook at the end of the shaft for latching onto a back edge of an opening in an external wall of the enclosure when attaching the entry fiber clip to the external wall, the fiber guide portion having an exterior side with a plurality of ribs formed thereon, the plurality of ribs defining a groove that closely receives an edge of the external wall of the enclosure when the entry fiber clip is attached to the external wall.

A fiber clip, comprising:

• a fiber guide portion having first and second spaced-apart sidewalk and a base portion, the first sidewall having a catch on an outer surface thereof, the catch having a sloped surface and a front surface that define a lip, the fiber guide portion having a plunger extending substantially perpendicularly away from an exterior side of the base portion, the plunger having a shaft and a hook at the end of the shaft for latching onto a back edge of an opening in a wall of an enclosure when attaching the entry fiber clip to the wall;
• and
• a door locking mechanism having a door with a first end and a second end, the door having a latch mechanism at the first end with an opening formed therein, the opening lying in a plane that is substantially perpendicular to a plane of the door, the door being connected at the second end to the second sidewall for rotational movement about an axis between an open position and a closed position, the opening of the latch mechanism latching onto the lip of the catch when the door is rotated into the closed position.
