Patent number: 10802237Abstract: A fiber optic cable management system includes a tray configured to reciprocate inside of an enclosure between an inserted position and an extended position. Optical fiber modules are located in the tray and retain optical fiber splitters or optical fiber multiplexer/de-multiplexers. The tray when moved to the extended position moves the optical fiber modules out of the front end of the rack enclosure. This allows a technician to access the back of the modules for maintenance operations without having to access the back end of the enclosure. A flexible cable guide allows the optical fibers connected to the modules to move with the tray into and out of the enclosure. Reflectors can be attached to the connectors to test fiber optic lines between a central office and the cell site location.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2017Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: RAYCAP S.A.Inventors: Kostantinos Bakatsias, Charis Coletti, Andreas Vagenas, Cynthia Steele, Jonathan Martinez

Patent number: 10429604Abstract: An optical interface includes a rack mountable enclosure that includes multiple slots for retaining multiple insertable fiber optic (FO) modules. The FO modules include a first set of interconnection ports that connect to remote radio units (RRUs), a second set of interconnection ports that connect to a baseband unit (BBU), and a third set of monitoring ports that connect to monitoring/text equipment. The FO modules contain fiber splitters that split off uplink/receive and downlink/transmit signals carried on optical fibers to the third set of monitoring ports. The FO modules may insert in different orientations and directions into different rack mountable enclosure configurations for higher density and more configurable connectivity. A splitter holder is located within the FO module and provides improved optical fiber routing for more integrated module port interconnectivity.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2018Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: RAYCAP S.A.Inventors: Konstantinos Bakatsias, Elias Gonalakis, Charis Coletti, Eleni Dimou

Patent number: 9640986Abstract: A telecommunications system uses a breakout device to connect a primary power cable to different secondary power cables that connect to different remote radio units (RRUs). For example, the breakout device may include a power distribution terminal that connects ?48 VDC and return power lines in the primary power cable to different ?48 VDC and return power lines in the secondary power cables. In another example, the breakout device may connect a hybrid cable that includes both power lines and fiber optic lines. A surge protection system may be located in the breakout device to protect the RRUs and other electrical device from power surges. Alternatively, the surge protection system may be located in jumper power cables connected between the breakout device and the RRUs.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2013Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: RAYCAP INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LTD.Inventors: Zafiris Politis, Fani Asimakopoulou, Kostas Bakatsias, Charis Coletti

Patent number: 9575277Abstract: A breakout assembly includes a housing including a first end and a second end. A retaining member includes a first end configured to receive a fiber optic cable and a second end attaching to the first end of the housing and retaining exposed stripped layers of the fiber optic cable. A breakout head is configured to insert into the second end of the housing and includes holes for receiving furcation tubes. A nut holds the breakout head inside of the second end of the housing. Different optical fibers from the fiber optic cable are inserted into the furcation tubes and held by the breakout head. An outside surface of the breakout head and an inside surface of the second end of the housing have round side surfaces extending between flat top and bottom surfaces that prevent the breakout head from rotating within the housing.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2015Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: Raycap, S.A.Inventors: Konstantinos Bakatsias, Charis Coletti, Fani Asimakopoulou
