Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to a retrofit kit for a telecommunications cabinet that is configured to house copper electronic equipment. The kit includes a fiber optic apparatus configured to be mounted in an interior of the telecommunications cabinet and a retrofit door configured to be mounted to the telecommunications cabinet to cover the interior. The retrofit door includes a front surface, a plurality of sidewalls extending from the front surface, and a rear surface extending inward from the plurality of sidewalls. The rear surface is spaced apart from the front surface and defines an opening into a cavity of the retrofit door. The fiber optic apparatus and the retrofit door are configured such that when the fiber optic apparatus and the retrofit door are mounted, the at least one cavity of the retrofit door provides volume to accommodate the fiber optic apparatus.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to a fiber optic apparatus for retrofit fiber optic connectivity. The fiber optic apparatus is configured to reduce the size and footprint of a typical fiber optic cabinet for retrofit deployment within existing copper infrastructure, while allowing a user to provide and manage fiber optic network connections between a network provider and a plurality of subscribers. In an exemplary embodiment, the fiber optic apparatus decreases width by vertically aligning features of the fiber optic apparatus, and decreases depth by angled mounting of splitter parking and horizontal positioning of vertically stacked ribbon-fanout kit (RFK) sets. Further, the fiber optic apparatus includes flexible tubing attached to a detachable strain relief bracket configured for removal the detachable strain relief bracket from the frame and reattachment to the telecommunications cabinet to facilitate flexibility in mounting of the fiber optic apparatus and fiber deployment.

Abstract: A fiber optic drawer tray for fiber optic equipment having a rotatable spool for deployment of fiber optic cable comprises a horizontal base and a pair of housing engagement features on opposite sides of the horizontal base, for movably engaging with at least one tray engagement feature of a drawer housing. The fiber optic drawer tray also comprises a rotatable spool disposed on the base, and a fiber optic adapter sub-assembly configured to receive and retain a plurality of fiber optic adapters mounted to the rotatable spool. The spool is further configured to store a length of fiber optic cable wound around the spool. The fiber optic cable can be terminated by a plurality of connectors and can be connected to the plurality of adapters. The spool is continuously rotatable to spool or unspool the fiber optic cable without disconnecting the plurality of connectors.
