  • Patent number: 10942325
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and method for deploying a fiber optic network. Distribution devices are used to index fibers within the system to ensure that live fibers are provided at output locations throughout the system. In an example, fibers can be indexed in multiple directions within the system. In an example, spare ports can be providing in a forward direction and reverse direction ports can also be provided.

  • Publication number: 20200409007
    Abstract: A telecommunications wall fixture includes a body configured for mounting to a wall, the body defining a mounting surface generally parallel to the wall when mounted. A cable storage spool is rotatably mounted to the body for storage and deployment of cable. A device is used for re-orienting the rotation axis of the spool from being generally perpendicular to the mounting surface to being generally non-perpendicular to the mounting surface, wherein the spool is configured such that the spool can be stored within the body when the spool is oriented to have the rotation axis generally perpendicular to the mounting surface.

  • Patent number: 10732369
    Abstract: This disclosure is related to a fiber optic distribution system including a telecommunications enclosure. In one aspect, the telecommunications enclosure can include a main body and a cover that together define an interior cavity. A first tray and a second tray can be mounted within the interior cavity. The first tray can be configured to hold a fiber optic splitter and to include cable management features. The second tray can be configured with a termination feature for connecting cables extending from the splitter to cables that can be distributed to individual locations remote from the enclosure, such as individual dwelling units.

  • Publication number: 20200088965
    Abstract: A cable conduit can be unrolled from a reel and cut to length and includes longitudinal sections of a mounting portion and a covering portion that form an openable and closable channel therebetween, the mounting portion and covering portion being coupled together by a connector. In some examples, a support leg is provided to prop up the covering portion when the channel is mounted and in an open configuration.

  • Publication number: 20200073070
    Abstract: An optical module includes a housing; an optical adapter arrangement disposed at the housing; a cable inlet leading from an exterior of the housing to the interior of the housing; and a splice location disposed within the interior of the housing. Optical pigtails extend from the optical adapter arrangement to the splice location. Certain types of modules have a removable splice tray having a bend radius limiting arrangement surrounding multiple splice channels. Certain types of modules have first and second chambers separated by a wall defining a pass-through aperture.
