Abstract: The present disclosure includes devices and systems for optical fiber management. One embodiment includes a device comprising an integrated separation surface separating an upper level of storage and a lower level of storage and an integrated adapter plate comprising a number of optical connectors and arranged at a first angle with respect to a floor of the device.

Abstract: An optical fiber pathway duct comprises a first channel configured to receive a pulling mechanism, and a second channel configured to allow one of a pullable connector and a stub end coupled to an optical fiber cable to pass through the optical pathway duct. The optical fiber pathway duct further comprises a slot disposed between the first channel and the second channel and configured to allow a pulling eye of one of the pullable connector and the stub end coupled to the pulling mechanism to pass through the optical pathway duct.

Abstract: Multi-fiber, fiber optic cable assemblies may be configured so that the terminal ends of the cables have pre-assembled back-post assemblies that include pre-assembled ferrules, such as MPO ferrules that meet the requisite tolerances needed for fiber optic transmissions. To protect the pre-assembled components from damage prior to and during installation, pre-assembled components may be enclosed within a protective housing. The housing with pre-assembled components may be of a size smaller than fully assembled connectors so as to be sized to fit through a conduit. The remaining connector housing components for the multi-fiber connectors may be provided separately and may be configured to be attached to the back-post assembly after installation of the cable.

Abstract: In-line sealed adapter tubes configured to seal non-hardened connectors when connected with hardened connectors such as an outdoor rated connectors. An adapter tube for sealing a non-hardened connector comprises an adapter body having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The adapter tube further comprises a first adapter endcap configured to couple to the first end and further configured to receive a hardened connector. The adapter tube further comprises a second adapter endcap configured to couple to the second end and further configured to receive a non-hardened connector for coupling to the hardened connector, such that the non-hardened connector is disposed within the adapter body.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems and apparatuses for an optical fiber management system. One embodiment of an optical fiber management system includes a cabinet comprising a system of building blocks that make up a rail-mounting system and an optical fiber management apparatus housed within one of the building blocks. The optical fiber management apparatus can comprise a housing, an adaptor plate resiliently connected to the housing, a splice tray, a housing cover, a radius limiter, and a base configured for integrated slack storage of at least one of buffer tube and ribbon cable.

Abstract: An optical fiber connector and method for assembly and use are disclosed. The optical fiber connector is configured to have a small footprint so that the connector may be pushable or pullable through a conduit if use of a conduit may be needed. The connector may include a first number of connector components configured to fit through a conduit, and a second number of connector components that are configured to be installed to the first components, for example, after the connector is pushed or pulled through a conduit.

Abstract: A multiport optical fiber connection terminal with a compact footprint has a configuration that allows for easy accessibility and interconnection of cables, while providing several mounting options and including storage space within the terminal. The terminal may include cable connectors that are configured to allow for weather proof installation of pre-terminated fiber optic cables with the terminal ports.
