Abstract: Disclosed are fiber optic assemblies for handling mini duplex connectors (MDC) including a rack-mountable chassis, independent sliding trays disposed in the chassis, and a plurality of MDC modules removably installable in the sliding trays. Each MDC module includes protruding features configured to interact with tray guides having corresponding features that permit vertical installation of the modules in the trays while preventing horizontal translation and rotational motion of the installed MDC modules. MDC modules may have various configuration, for instance MTP module, patching module and pre-terminated tailed module configurations. The assemblies and components disclosed herein maximize connections densities of MDC connectors while improving access thereto in high density applications.

Abstract: Fiber optic assemblies for receiving, managing and facilitating access to optical fiber connectors are disclosed. The assemblies include an adapter panel slidably mounted in a chassis and defining a plurality of receiving bays each for receiving at least one cassette containing an optical fiber adapter. Each cassette includes retention features for being received within paired openings in the adapter panel to register a position of the cassette relative to the receiving bay and adapter panel. Cassettes are independently and selectively accessible and removable from either the front or back of the adapter panel.

Abstract: A fiber optic cable management kit including a plate having a plurality of slide-lock apertures oriented in various directions, at least one cable tie down adapted to slide-lock engage within the apertures, and at least one fiber organizer adapted to slide-lock engage within the apertures, wherein the kit serves to route and manage fiber optic cable routed within a rear end of a rack-mountable chassis.

Abstract: Technologies are described for a fiber optic equipment chassis. The chassis may have a bottom plate and a top plate positioned such that the plates form a front chassis access and a rear chassis access. The chassis may include five module guides each having module guide channels for insertion and removal of fiber optic modules. The modules have two guide rails and movable tabs arranged in tab pairs to the front and to the rear. A tab catch on each of the tabs is configured to engage with guide catches and disengage when either tab pair is compressed toward a centerline of the module. The geometry of the modules provide a smaller total width than a distance between adjacent module guides while either pair of tabs is compressed. The smaller width can support removal of the fiber optic module from both the front access and the rear access.
