  • Patent number: 11402596
    Abstract: A terminal system assembly includes a base plate, a spool, an adapter module for securing a connection between a fiber of an input fiber cable and a fiber of an output fiber cable, and a cable management plate coupled with the spool. The spool is rotatably mounted to the base plate and is configured to receive the input fiber cable. The adapter module is configured to be coupled with the cable management plate. The spool containing the fiber input cable is allowed to freely rotate until the adapter module is coupled with the cable management plate. The adapter module includes an anti-rotation portion that is configured to cooperate with a portion of the base plate to prevent rotation of the spool and the adapter module when the adapter module is coupled with the spool.
