  • Patent number: 7006748
    Abstract: A high density fiber optic distribution frame includes a frame assembly, one or more left-hand connector module housings mounted on the frame assembly, one or more right-hand connector module housings mounted on the frame assembly and an Interbay Storage Unit (IBU) positioned on the frame assembly medially between the left-hand connector module housings and the right-hand connector module housings. Each connector module housing includes one or more connector modules having one or more adapters for interconnecting optical fibers between connector modules on the distribution frame or on an adjacent distribution frame in a communications network. The distribution frame is compatible with existing fiber optic connector housings, maintains the minimum bend radius of the optical fibers transitioned on the frame between connector modules, and reduces the length of a single length jumper employed on the frame.

  • Patent number: 6819856
    Abstract: A high density fiber optic distribution frame includes a frame assembly, one or more left-hand connector module housings mounted on the frame assembly, one or more right-hand connector module housings mounted on the frame assembly and an Interbay Storage Unit (IBU) positioned on the frame assembly medially between the left-hand connector module housings and the right-hand connector module housings. Each connector module housing includes a mounting frame and at least one connector module having at least one fiber optic adapter for interconnecting optical fibers between connector modules on the distribution frame. The connector module is movable between a stowed position wherein the fiber optic adapter is not accessible and a deployed position wherein the fiber optic adapter is accessible. The distribution frame maintains the minimum bend radius of the optical fiber transitioned between connector modules, and reduces the length of a single length jumper employed on the frame.

  • Publication number: 20030039108
    Abstract: A distribution frame includes a plurality of vertically stacked equipment housings arranged in columns and an Interbay Storage Unit medially disposed in a center section between the columns. The Interbay Storage Unit includes a base and a plurality of storage hubs vertically spaced on the base. The housings are angled downwardly in the direction of the center section and the base of the Interbay Storage Unit includes reduced width sections between adjacent storage hubs that increase the space available between the Interbay Storage Unit and the housings for routing excess lengths of jumper cables. Fingers are laterally spaced about each storage hub and a plurality of routing guides are staggered on the housings to separate jumper cables routed between the housings to interconnect service and subscriber transmission lines adjacent the base of the distribution frame where the excess lengths of the jumper cables accumulate.
