Device for receiving subassemblies assigned to at least one optical fiber cable and for fastening the same to a mounting

A device for receiving at least two subassemblies of one or more optical fiber cable assemblies, the device comprising:

• a bar-shaped basic body;
• and
• a guide element formed on a topside of the basic body for receiving the at least two subassemblies, the guide element comprising:
• a bottom wall;
• a top wall;
• two opposite side walls, said bottom wall, said top wall and said opposite side walls defining an interior of said guide element for receiving said at least two subassemblies;
• and
• a hinge located at said top wall of the guide element so that a first side wall of said two opposite side walls is rotatable around said hinge with respect to a second side wall of said two side opposite walls and with respect to said bottom wall;
• wherein latches are positioned as part of the hinge above the same, whereby the latches serve as stop members limiting the rotation of the first side wall around the hinge with respect to the second side wall.

A fiber optic cable assembly comprising:

• a first fiber subassembly and a second fiber subassembly, each of the first and second fiber subassemblies comprising a furcation plug or a furcation adaptor;
• a device for receiving the first and second fiber subassemblies, the device comprising:
• a bar-shaped basic body;
• and
• a guide element formed on a topside of the basic body for receiving the first and second fiber subassemblies, the guide element comprising:
• a bottom wall;
• a top wall;
• two opposite side walls, said bottom wall, said top wall and said opposite side walls defining an interior of said guide element, wherein the first and second fiber subassemblies are disposed in said interior of said guide element in a stacked arrangement;
• and
• a hinge located at said top wall of the guide element so that a first side wall of said two opposite side walls is rotatable around said hinge with respect to a second side wall of said two side opposite walls and with respect to said bottom wall;
• wherein latches are positioned as part of the hinge above the same, whereby the latches serve as stop members limiting the rotation of the first side wall around the hinge with respect to the second side wall.
