Publication number: 20230026759Abstract: A fiber optic system includes an enclosure and a mounting bracket that cooperate to define a mechanical coupling interface including a slide interface and a snap-fit interface. The slide interface allows the enclosure to mount to the bracket along a first dimension and retains the enclosure at the bracket along second and third dimensions that are transverse to the first dimension and transverse to each other. The snap-fit interface, once triggered, retains the enclosure at the bracket along the first dimension.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2022Publication date: January 26, 2023Applicant: COMMSCOPE TECHNOLOGIES LLCInventors: Eddy Luc CAMS, Erik David BISHOP, Alan Armando GARCIA GONZALEZ, Roel Modest Willy BRYON
