Abstract: A fiber distribution assembly includes an enclosure defining an interior cavity. The enclosure includes a base defining a first opening and a second opening, and a cover rotatably coupled to the base and configured to rotate about an axis. The base is symmetric about a line perpendicular to the axis. The first opening is on one side of the line, and the second opening is on the other side of the line. The fiber distribution assembly also includes a tray rotatably coupled to the enclosure within the interior cavity of the enclosure and that is symmetric about the line. The fiber distribution assembly also includes a cable management or fiber optic component configured to be releasably coupled to the tray.

Abstract: A fiber optic module mounting assembly can include a surface defining an opening and a module holder. The module holder includes a body defining a channel. The body has a cross-sectional shape closely corresponding to a cross-sectional shape of the opening defined by the surface. The module holder creates a snap or friction fit with the surface when the module holder is received within the opening of the surface, thereby coupling the module holder to the surface. The mounting assembly also includes a module comprising a housing having a cross-sectional shape closely corresponding to a cross-sectional shape of the channel of the module holder, and an optical component within the housing. The module is configured to be received within the channel defined by the body of the module holder.

Abstract: A fiber distribution hub (FDH) can include an enclosure defining an interior region and a frame body having a longitudinal axis. The frame body is rotatably mounted within the interior region of the enclosure such that the frame body can rotate about the longitudinal axis relative to the enclosure. The FDH further includes a plurality of splitters coupled to the frame body. Each splitter module has at least one splitter input and at least two splitter outputs. The FDH also includes a first plurality of adapters coupled to the frame body. The first plurality of adapters is configured to optically couple to splitter output cables. Additionally, the FDH can also include a storage retaining module configured to be selectively coupled to the frame body. The storage retaining module includes a storage retaining structure configured to selectively secure a cable portion of a connectorized end of a splitter output cable.

Abstract: A splitter module includes an optical splitter configured for splitting an input optical signal into two or more output optical signals. The splitter module also includes a housing that encloses the optical splitter. The housing has a first end and a second end, and defines a first opening facing the first end and a second opening at the second end. The splitter module includes an input boot configured to receive one or more input fiber cables and an input fan-out mounted at the first opening and coupled to the input boot. The splitter module further includes an output fan-out mounted at the second opening, and an output boot coupled to the output fan-out.

Abstract: A fiber optic collector and terminal assembly (CTA) can include a multi-fiber optic cable having a tail portion and first and second multi-fiber branches optically coupled to the tail portion. The first and second multi-fiber optic branches each have fewer fibers than the tail portion. The CTA also includes a plurality of single-fiber optic jumpers optically coupled to the first multi-fiber optic branch. Additionally, the CTA includes an adapter for securing a connection between a fiber of one of the plurality of single-fiber optic jumpers and a fiber of a single-fiber optic drop.

Abstract: An enclosure-less fiber optic terminal can include a base plate, a spool, an adapter, and an adapter plate. The spool can be rotatably mounted to the base plate. The spool can house an input fiber cable. The adapter can secure a connection between a fiber of the input fiber cable and a fiber of an output fiber cable. The adapter plate has a cable guide defining a channel for routing the output fiber cable from the adapter.

Abstract: An adapter retaining system comprises an adapter, an adapter pack, and a retaining base. The retaining base allows the adapter pack to slide in a direction substantially parallel to a surface of the retaining base and prevents the adapter pack from moving in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface. In another embodiment, an adapter retaining system comprises an adapter, an adapter pack, and an adapter plate. The adapter pack rotates about an axis substantially perpendicular to a surface of the adapter plate. In another embodiment, an adapter retaining system comprises an adapter, an adapter pack, and an adapter plate having a curved adapter post. The adapter pack slidably engages the adapter post. In another embodiment, an adapter retaining system comprises an adapter, and an adapter plate having a pair of adapter posts. The adapter posts directly receive the adapter.

Abstract: A fiber distribution terminal for use in an environmentally sealed enclosure can include a rotatable spool for housing input fiber cable. The spool is configured to be mounted in the environmentally sealed enclosure. The fiber distribution terminal can also include an adapter pack that secures the connections between fibers of the input fiber cable and fibers of the output fiber cable. The fiber distribution terminal can include an adapter plate that guides the routing of both the input and output fiber cables internal to the enclosure. The fiber distribution terminal can also include a spool lock that can direct the cable routing to a first side or a second side of the fiber distribution terminal.
