Patent number: 9753240Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2016Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: Opterna Technology LimitedInventors: Randy Reagan, Jiju Koratten, Biji Mathew Arakkakudy, Benoy Sarasan, Kizhakkekuttu Parameswaran Chandran, Basheer A.

Patent number: 9389385Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2013Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: Opterna Technology LimitedInventors: Randy Reagan, Jiju Koratten, Biji Mathew Arakkakudy, Benoy Sarasan, Kizhakkekuttu Parameswaran Chandran, Basheer A.

Publication number: 20150093088Abstract: A fiber optic terminal assembly comprises a mounting plate configured to be mounted to a surface, a pivot bracket comprising a handle, and a spool rotatably mounted to the pivot bracket and configured to store a multi-fiber optic cable. The spool comprises an adapter for securing a connection between a fiber of the multi-fiber optic cable and a fiber of an output fiber cable. The spool and the pivot bracket are configured to be selectively coupled to the mounting plate. A method of using the fiber optic terminal assembly comprises paying out a multi-fiber optic cable stored on the spool by rotating the spool relative to the pivot bracket. The method also comprises selectively coupling the spool and the pivot bracket to a mounting plate after paying out the multi-fiber optic cable. Selectively coupling the spool and the pivot bracket substantially prevents rotation of the spool.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2013Publication date: April 2, 2015Inventors: Bret A. MATZ, Basheer A. ALIKUNJU, Biji Mathew ARAKKAKUDY, Mukund MURALEEDHARAN, Anoop K. MURALI, Renjith RAJAN, Sajan CHACKO

Patent number: 8886005Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2012Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Opterna Technology LimitedInventors: Thanathalil Kumaran Subhash, Mukund Muraleedharan, Basheer A.

Publication number: 20120063735Abstract: A fiber distribution terminal (FDT) includes a base plate, a spool, and an adapter for securing a connection between a fiber of an input fiber cable and a fiber of an output fiber cable, and an adapter plate. The spool is rotatably mounted to the base plate. The spool houses the input fiber cable. The adapter plate has a cable guide defining a channel for routing the output fiber cable from the adapter. The FDT can be mounted within a pre-installed enclosure or directly to a wall.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2011Publication date: March 15, 2012Applicant: Opterna AM, Inc.Inventors: K.R.
