Abstract: Embodiments provide a self-healing coating formulation comprised of a one component waterborne epoxy-amine adduct resin system and a microencapsulated healing agent. The self-healing coating formulation hardens to a protective material upon application to a substrate. Components in the protective material and microencapsulated healing agent are uniquely synergistic with each other such that, upon degradation of the protective material, microcapsule rupture causes release of the healing agent, whereby components of the healing agent react with components of the protective material to increase adhesion maintenance and corrosion resistance of the protective coating.

Abstract: A fiber terminal rack mount with front-to-back fiber routing management is disclosed herein. The terminal rack mount is configured to be mounted in a remote terminal to facilitate fiber management of fiber optic cables routed from fiber optic equipment. In exemplary aspects disclosed herein, the fiber terminal rack mount comprises two vertically oriented panels with a plurality of horizontally oriented shelves positioned therebetween. The panels are configured to mount to vertical rails of a remote terminal cabinet of the fiber terminal. The panels and shelves also define routing channels for routing fiber optic cables therethrough, thereby facilitating front-to-back fiber routing between fiber optic equipment mounted in the fiber terminal. In this manner, as an example, the fiber terminal rack mount may more easily support fiber routing between back-to-back mounted fiber optic equipment, which may increase as fiber optic connectivity density increases.
