Abstract: A fiber optic enclosure assembly includes a housing having an interior region and a bearing mount disposed in the interior region of the housing. A cable spool is connectedly engaged with the bearing mount such that the cable spool selectively rotates within the housing. A termination module disposed on the cable spool so that the termination module rotates in unison with the cable spool. A method of paying out a fiber optic cable from a fiber optic enclosure includes rotating a cable spool, which has a subscriber cable coiled around a spooling portion of the cable spool, about an axis of a housing of the fiber optic enclosure until a desired length of subscriber cable is paid out. A termination module is disposed on the cable spool.

Abstract: A cable pulling assembly includes an enclosure that is adapted for enclosing an end of a fiber optic cable. The enclosure includes a first member that defines a first cavity. The first cavity is adapted to receive a portion of the end of the fiber optic cable. The enclosure further includes a second member that is selectively engaged to the first member. The second member defines a second cavity. The second member is structurally identical to the first member. The enclosure is adapted to transfer a tensile force applied to the enclosure to the strength layer of the fiber optic cable.

Abstract: An optical cassette includes a body defining a first termination region defined at the first end of the body; a second termination region defined at the second end of the body; a cable routing region disposed at a first level of the body; an optical splice holding region disposed at a second level of the body; and an optical coupler holding region disposed at the second level of the body. The first level is defined by a base of the body and the second level is defined by a divider tray that pivots relative to the body.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of a fiber distribution hub include a swing frame pivotally mounted within an enclosure having a low profile. For example, the enclosure can have a depth of less than about nine inches. Termination modules can be mounted to the swing frame and oriented to slide at least partially in a front-to-rear direction to facilitate access to connectors plugged into the termination modules. Splitter modules and connector storage regions can be provided within the enclosure.

Abstract: A telecommunications panel or bracket assembly includes a frame for hingedly mounting to a telecommunications cabinet. The panel includes a plurality of telecommunications modules with one or more front ports and one or more rear ports for telecommunications cables. Patch cords connect from the front ports of the modules to equipment held by the cabinet. Trunk cables or other cables connect to the rear ports of the modules. The panel is hingedly mounted to the side of the cabinet to access the rear ports and the trunk cables.
