Patent number: 10025055Abstract: A multi-positionable tray assembly (20) for mounting within a chassis (10) of a telecommunications panel (100) is disclosed. The multi-positionable tray assembly (20) may include support arm (24) that pivotally supports a tray (22) and that allows the tray assembly (20) to be installed and removed from the chassis (10). The tray (22) and the support arm (24) cooperatively define a cable routing pathway (208) that extends through a pivot axis (A1) defined by the tray and the support arm. To minimize the required depth of the tray (10) and optimize cable routing, the tray (20) can include a cable management structure (102) with a patch panel (104) having a plurality of adapters (108) arranged along a transverse axis (A2), wherein the transverse axis is non-parallel or oblique to a front plane (A4) of the tray.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2015Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignees: CommScope Connectivity Belgium BVBA, ADC Czech Republic, S.R.O.Inventors: Zoltan Alexi, Bernardus Johannes Nicolas Geling, Gwenole Stouthuysen, Johan Geens

Publication number: 20180136422Abstract: A termination field and a guide member are independently pivotally coupled to a base body. The termination field pivots relative to the base body along a path of travel. The guide member is coupled to the base body to provide bend radius protection to cables plugged into the termination field. The guide member defines a channel leading the cables from the termination field towards a first side of the base body at an exterior of the base body. In certain examples, the guide member and termination field pivot relative to the base body about different hinge axes. In other examples, the termination field pivots with the guide member for part of the path of travel and relative to the guide member for another part of the path of travel.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2017Publication date: May 17, 2018Applicants: ADC Czech Republic, S.R.O., CommScope Connectivity Belgium BVBAInventors: Zoltan ALEXI, Bernadus Johannes Nicolas GELING, Simon Reyndert CHRISTIANI, Rudi VERBRUGGEN, Johann GEENS

Patent number: 9835814Abstract: A fiber termination point arrangement (100) including an enclosure (110) and a storage member (130). The enclosure (110) holds at least one optical adapter having an external port. The storage member (130) includes a rearwardly facing cable spool (135). The fiber termination point arrangement (100) mounts over a wall outlet so that the cable spool (135) is hidden from view. The fiber termination point arrangement (100) has a rear input port that enables a cable or fiber to enter the fiber termination point arrangement (100) from the rear (e.g., at the cable spool) without extending beyond the boundaries of the fiber termination point arrangement (100) when routed from the wall outlet.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2014Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignees: ADC CZECH REPUBLIC S.R.O., COMMSCOPE CONNECTIVITY SPAIN, S.L., COMMSCOPE CONNECTIVITY BELGIUM BVBAInventors: Jiri Ambroz, Juraj Marak, Ales Smisek, Jose-Luis Gonzalez Blazquez, Karel An Johan Jaksons

Publication number: 20170235084Abstract: A cable mount for fixing a strength member of a fiber optic cable to a fixture includes a front end, a rear end, and a longitudinal channel therebetween, the channel defined by upper and lower transverse walls and a vertical divider wall. The channel receives a portion of the cable. A strength member pocket receives the strength member of the cable, the pocket located on an opposite side of the divider wall from the longitudinal channel, the pocket communicating with the longitudinal channel through an opening on the divider wall. A strength member clamp fixes the strength member of the cable against axial pull. Cable management structures in the form of spools define at least one notch that communicates with the longitudinal channel for guiding optical fibers extending from a jacket either upwardly or downwardly therethrough. The cable mount also allows routing of the optical fibers through the longitudinal channel all the way from the rear end to the front end.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2016Publication date: August 17, 2017Applicants: CommScope Connectivity Belgium BVBA, ADC Czech republic s.r.o.Inventors: Johan GEENS, Pieter VERMEULEN, Eric KEUSTERMANS, Matthias AIDERWEIRELDT, Tomas FUCSEK

Publication number: 20170123175Abstract: A cable distribution system is provided wherein a feeder cable with one or more feeder fibers is received by a distribution device or box. The feeder fibers are terminated to a fiber optic connector. Customers can directly connect to the connectors of the feeder cable through an adapter and a mating connector for a point-to-point connection. Alternatively, a splitter input can be connected to one or more of the connectors of the feeder cable, such as through a pigtail extending from the splitter, wherein the splitter splits the signal as desired into a plurality of outputs. The outputs of the splitters can be in the form of connectors or adapters.
