Abstract
A fiber distribution device includes a swing frame chassis pivotally mounted to a support structure. At least a first optical splitter module is mounted to the swing frame chassis. Pigtails having connectorized ends are carried by the swing frame chassis and have portions that are routed generally vertically on the swing frame chassis. An optical termination field includes fiber optic adapters carried by the swing frame chassis. The fiber optic adapters are configured to receive the connectorized ends of the pigtails.
Claims23
A fiber distribution device comprising:
- a swing frame chassis pivotally mounted to a support structure;
- at least a first optical splitter module mounted to the swing frame chassis, the first optical splitter module being configured to receive an incoming optical signal and to split the incoming optical signal into a plurality of output signals;
- a plurality of pigtails having connectorized ends, the pigtails being carried by the swing frame chassis, each of the pigtails being configured to transmit one of the output signals split by the first optical splitter module, the pigtails having portions that are routed generally vertically on the swing frame chassis;
- and
- an optical termination field including a plurality of fiber optic adapters carried by the swing frame chassis, the fiber optic adapters being configured to receive the connectorized ends of the pigtails.
A fiber distribution device comprising:
- a swing frame chassis pivotally mounted to a support structure, the swing frame being configured to pivot relative to the support structure between an open position and a closed position;
- at least a first optical splitter module mounted to the swing frame chassis, the first optical splitter module being configured to receive an incoming optical signal and to split the incoming optical signal into a plurality of output signals;
- a plurality of pigtails having connectorized ends, the pigtails being carried by the swing frame chassis, the pigtails being accessible when the swing frame chassis is arranged in the closed position, each of the pigtails being configured to transmit one of the output signals split by the first optical splitter module;
- and
- an optical termination field including a plurality of fiber optic adapters carried by the swing frame chassis, the fiber optic adapters being configured to receive the connectorized ends of the pigtails.
