Patent number: 12663842Abstract: A bladed chassis system facilitates installation of the bladed chassis system and replacement of the blades at the chassis. Blades can be inserted and removed from the front and/or the rear of the bladed chassis system at the discretion of the user. Blades can be moved between discrete positions. In examples, blades can be one-handedly released from the chassis to allow movement between discrete positions. In examples, accidental movement past a discrete position is inhibited. Accidental removal of the blades from the chassis is inhibited. The chassis and blades cooperate to manage the optical fiber cables routed through a cable port in the chassis to the blades.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2023Date of Patent: June 23, 2026Assignee: CommScope Technologies LLCInventors: Brent Campbell, Jonathan R. Kaml, Rodney C. Schoenfelder, Dennis Krampotich, David J. Johnsen, James J. Solheid, Matthew J. Holmberg
