Abstract: An optical fiber connector for external connection to a telecommunications enclosure is described herein. The optical fiber connector has an assembly base having a first end and a second end, an optical connection portion disposed partially within the first end of the assembly base and a strain relief assembly disposed on the second end of the assembly base. The assembly base includes a body portion and a release portion which defines a release mechanism that causes the release portion to move relative to the body portion. The release portion includes at least one cam that is configured to release or disengage the at least one latch element when the release portion moves with respect to the body portion so that the optical fiber connector can be removed from the port of the telecommunication enclosure.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a pressure sensitive adhesive comprising: a) a multi-arm block copolymer of the formula Qn-Y, wherein: (i) Q represents an arm of the multi-arm block copolymer and each arm independently has the formula G-R, (ii) n represents the number of arms and is a whole number of at least 3, and (iii) Y is the residue of a multifunctional coupling agent, wherein each R is a rubbery block comprising a polymerized conjugated diene, a hydrogenated derivative of a polymerized conjugated diene, or combinations thereof; and each G is a glassy block comprising a polymerized monovinyl aromatic monomer; b) a polymeric plasticizer having a weight average molecular weight Mw comprised between 10.000 and 100.

Abstract: An organizer (100) for fiber cable management comprises a generally planar base (105) having a splitter holding section (110), a slack and unterminated fiber storage section (120), and a splice and splice tray holding section (150). The splitter holding section (110) is configured to optionally hold one or more fiber splitters. The slack and unterminated fiber storage section includes a slack storage region (130) having a plurality of fiber routing structures (146a, 146b) to support and retain slack fiber and an unterminated fiber storage region having one or more spool type structures (142) to support and retain unterminated fiber separate from the slack fiber. The splice and splice tray holding section is configured to optionally hold one of a first fiber splice insert (160) and a splice tray holder (170) configured to engage one or more splice trays. A distribution box (200) for distributing optical fibers for communications includes a base, a cover, and the organizer described above.

Abstract: A strain relief device is disclosed that allows the passage of at least one telecommunication cable therethrough. The exemplary strain relief device has a one-piece, rectangular tubular body, an external strength member securing section to secure strength members from the at least one telecommunication cable to the rectangular tubular body and a sealing member to provide an environmental seal between the at least one telecommunication cable and the strain relief device and between the strain relief device and a mounting structure into which the strain relief device is inserted. The rectangular tubular body has an outer surface and at least one cable channel extending between a first end of the rectangular tubular body and a second end rectangular tubular body.

Abstract: The invention comprises a modular support system (7) for optical fiber trays (10) comprising: at least one central module (21) for supporting the optical fiber trays, the central module being adapted to be positioned side-by-side with a plurality of central modules supporting the optical fiber trays, wherein the central module further comprises a fixing structure (34, 35) for attaching at least one additional fiber management module (41, 51) to the central module. The invention further comprises a kit of parts for a modular support system for optical fiber trays as well as an optical fiber organizer.
