  • Publication number: 20060193590
    Abstract: A fiber optic telecommunications frame is provided including panels having front and rear termination locations, the panels positioned on left and right sides of the frame. The frame includes vertical access for the rear cables. The frame further includes left and right vertical cable guides for the front patch cables. The frame further includes cable storage spools for the patch cables. The frame includes a horizontal passage linking the left and right panels and the cable guides. A portion of the frame defines splice tray holders and a central passage from the splice tray holders to the rear sides of the left and right panels. From a front of each panel, access to a rear of the panel is provided by the hinged panels. Alternatively, the panels can form connector modules with front termination locations and rear connection locations for connecting to the rear cables. The modules can house couplers, such as splitters, combiners, and wave division multiplexers.

  • Publication number: 20060191700
    Abstract: Systems and methods for covering a trough member. A system can include a hinge clip coupled to a sidewall of the trough member and having arms creating a socket. The system can include a cover including a pivot member and a groove at one end. The pivot member can be received in the socket to allow the cover to pivot about the pivot member from open to closed positions, and one arm of the socket can be received in the groove in the open position. A capture clip including a ramp portion and a seat can be coupled to the other sidewall, and another pivot member at the other end of the cover can ride along the ramp and drop into the seat as the cover is pivoted from open to closed positions. The cover can also be two cover portions, each extending partially over the trough member and creating a slot therebetween.
