  • Patent number: 8520408
    Abstract: A telecommunications system including a frame to which telecommunications equipment is mounted. The frame defines a patch panel region and an active equipment region. Patch cords are interconnected between the patch panel region and the active equipment region. The system further includes a slack storage panel that stores patch cord slack. The slack storage panel defines a single cable routing pathway. The patch cords are routed through the slack storage panel such that no portion of the length of each patch cord overlaps itself. In systems including both copper and fiber cables, the copper cables are routed separately from the fiber cables.

  • Patent number: 7829787
    Abstract: A telecommunications system including a frame to which telecommunications equipment is mounted. Fiber cables exiting the equipment are routed upward along each of the right and left sides of the frame. The fiber cables routed along the right and left sides merge within a horizontal trough section of a cable exit assembly. The cable exit assembly is located adjacent to the top of the frame and defines a single common exit point at which the merged fiber cables exit the frame.

  • Publication number: 20090175588
    Abstract: A fiber distribution terminal system includes a below ground vault, and a terminal enclosure positioned within the vault. The system also includes a lift system positioned within the vault, the lift system including at least one torsion member, wherein, as the terminal enclosure is pivoted from a lifted position to a below ground position, the torsion member stores potential energy, and wherein, as the terminal enclosure is pivoted from the below ground position to the lifted position, the torsion member releases the potential energy to assist in pivoting the terminal enclosure to the lifted position.
