  • Patent number: 11803025
    Abstract: A fiber optic telecommunications tray is provided with features that improve accessibility and handling of fibers and/or cables in the tray. The tray may include a combination of a fiber storage device, a fiber splice device, and a fiber termination device, which are arranged in a particular order. Alternatively, the tray may include a plurality of fiber termination devices. Further, the tray may include a fiber funneling structure that make is easy to route and retain fibers in the tray.

  • Patent number: 6875926
    Abstract: A compression-expandable plug provides lateral expansion of an elastomeric gasket to seal around mini-tubes within an optical fiber duct, the mini-tubes containing optical fibers. The compression-expandable plug includes an elastomeric gasket having longitudinal passages configured to be positioned around optical-fiber-containing mini-tubes in an optical fiber duct and means for longitudinally compressing the gasket thereby laterally expanding it to exert sealing pressure around the mini-tubes and between the mini-tubes and the duct. A means for limiting the longitudinal compression applied to the gasket to limit the sealing pressure to a level selected to limit damage to the optical fibers may be provided.

  • Publication number: 20050069275
    Abstract: Apparatus (1) for sealing an optical fibre guide tube or duct (11) from which an optical fibre cable (10) emerges comprises a resilient sleeve (2) having in its unexpanded state an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the optical fibre guide tube (11), and a clamping member (3) for sealingly clamping part of the resilient sleeve (2) around the optical fibre cable (10). The resilient sleeve is preferably made of a thermoplastic elastomer. Resilient sealing material may be introduced into the sleeve while resisting introduction of the sealing material into the interior of the tube or duct.
