Publication number: 20210141184Abstract: A telecommunications assembly includes a chassis defining an interior region and a tray assembly disposed in the interior region. The tray assembly includes a tray and a cable spool assembly. The cable spool assembly is engaged to a base panel of the tray. The cable spool assembly is adapted to rotate relative to the tray. The cable spool assembly includes a hub, a flange engaged to the hub and an adapter module. The flange defines a termination area. The adapter module is engaged to the termination module of the flange. The adapter module is adapted to slide relative to the flange in a direction that is generally parallel to the flange between an extended position and a retracted position.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2020Publication date: May 13, 2021Inventors: Dennis Krampotich, Jonathan Walter Coan

Publication number: 20210116666Abstract: The present disclosure relates to structures and configurations for breaking out fibers from cables and/or securing the ends of protective mesh sleeves to other structures such as brackets, cables and trays/cassettes. The mesh sleeves can be adapted to protect optical fibers that pass therethrough. In one example, a mesh sleeve can be secured to another structure by an anchor including a reinforcing insert that fits in the mesh sleeve and a clamping housing that mounts over the mesh sleeve.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2018Publication date: April 22, 2021Applicant: COMMSCOPE TECHNOLOGIES LLCInventors: Jonathan R. KAML, Cyle D. PETERSEN, Rodney C. SCHOENFELDER, James J. SOLHEID, Matthew J. HOLMBERG, Oscar Fernando BRAN DE LEÓN, Thomas Caesar TINUCCI, Dennis KRAMPOTICH

Patent number: 10935744Abstract: Certain types of fiber termination enclosures include an enclosure and at least one of a plurality of plate module mounting assemblies. Example plate module mounting assemblies include a termination panel plate assembly; a splice tray plate assembly; a cable spool plate assembly; and a drop-in plate assembly. Example cable spool plate assemblies include a cable spool arrangement rotationally coupled to a mounting plate, which fixedly mounts within the enclosure housing. A stand-off mount element may be disposed on the front of the cable spool arrangement to rotate in unison with the cable spool arrangement. The stand-off mount element may include one or more termination adapters.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: CommScope Technologies LLCInventors: Jonathan Walter Coan, Dennis Krampotich, Jonathan R.

Patent number: 10852500Abstract: A bladed chassis system facilitates installation of the bladed chassis system and replacement of the blades at the chassis. For example, a front panel of the blade can be opened either upwardly or downwardly at the discretion of the user. Blades can be inserted and removed from the front and/or the rear of the bladed chassis system at the discretion of the user. Cables can be routed to the rear of the chassis system from either of two sides at the discretion of the user. The blades carried by the chassis have fiber management trays that can be rotationally oriented in any desired rotational position at the discretion of the user.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2019Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: CommScope Technologies LLCInventors: Dennis Ray Wells, Rodney C.
