  • Publication number: 20240017958
    Abstract: A cable turntable device has a frame, a pan attached to the frame, a plate rotatably attached to the pan, arms pivotably attached to the plate, and a knob for controlling rotational movement of the plate relative to the pan. The plate has pivot points circumferentially around and at an outer circumferential edge of the plate. Each of the arms is attached to the plate at one of the pivot points. The knob is selectively rotatable to control relative rotation between the pan and the plate, which allows the arms to pivot, which in turn changes an inner diameter of the cable turntable device. The inner diameter is a same as, or greater than, a minimum acceptable bend diameter for a cable of a cable spool that the cable turntable device dispenses.

  • Publication number: 20190364681
    Abstract: A rear panel door for an enclosure box (e.g., of a network or computing module) is attached to the enclosure module without the use of conventional hinges, instead using pins and hooks to hold the panel door onto the enclosure module. Lower hooks provide rotation for opening and closing the panel door, as well as for securing the panel door to the enclosure module while the panel door is in the open position. Upper hooks provide a latching feature to secure the panel door to the enclosure module when the panel door is in the closed position. The door can be opened directly from the rear side of the enclosure module (e.g., using integral finger holes or slots formed in the panel door and/or enclosure module) or by applying an interior pressure from within the enclosure module.

  • Patent number: 10345538
    Abstract: A breakout box, breakout box system, and method for management of optical fibers. The breakout box system provides a pass-through system for connecting optical fibers to network rack modules. The external routing of incoming and outgoing cables around the rack is kept neat and orderly, with one large cable serving a plurality of shelves. The breakout of the cable and distribution of the fibers to the individual modules occurs inside the breakout boxes and bridges, which provide protection for the fibers while still allowing easy access for fiber handling by means of the removable lids.

  • Publication number: 20190113704
    Abstract: A rack-level breakout box, system, and method for distributing high-fiber count optical fiber cables to one or more network racks. External routing of incoming and outgoing cables around the rack is kept neat and orderly, with one large cable serving a fully populated rack and, optionally, multiple racks. A flexible mounting configuration is further provided.
