  • Publication number: 20060263029
    Abstract: An optical fiber distribution enclosure includes a housing defining an interior, a first fiber distribution area disposed within an upper portion of the interior, a second fiber distribution area disposed within a lower portion of the interior and a signal splitting area disposed between the fiber distribution areas. A splitter module secured within the signal splitting area has a connectorized splitter input optical fiber and connectorized splitter output optical fibers. A fiber parking area is movably disposed within the lower portion adjacent the second fiber distribution area for temporarily storing splitter output optical fibers that are not routed to the fiber distribution areas. An input fiber distribution area disposed within the interior interconnects an optical fiber of a feeder cable with the splitter input optical fiber. The splitter output optical fibers are eventually routed to a fiber distribution area and interconnected with a corresponding optical fiber of a distribution cable.

  • Publication number: 20050041926
    Abstract: The present invention provides for an optical waveguide panel assembly having at least one slot for slidably receiving an optical waveguide module attachment, the slot including at least one optical waveguide module attachment with an outer surface having channels for receiving the side edges of the slot. In one embodiment, the slot includes a plurality of optical waveguide module attachments such that successive optical waveguide module attachments are stacked over a preceding optical waveguide module attachment. The optical waveguide module attachments may be separated by one or more spacers. Also provided for is an optical waveguide panel assembly having a plurality of slots, each slot containing a plurality of optical waveguide module attachments, thus forming a dense optical fiber output array.
