Abstract: A rail panel includes a first rail and a second rail. The first rail includes a first pair of side walls, a first perimeter wall disposed orthogonally to the first pair of side walls, and a pair of internal walls extending from the first perimeter wall and disposed parallel to the first pair of side walls. The first perimeter wall defines a plurality of first cable holes spaced apart along the length of the first perimeter wall. The second rail includes a second pair of side walls, and a second perimeter wall disposed orthogonally to the second pair of side walls, the second perimeter wall defining a plurality of second cable holes disposed spaced apart along the length of the second perimeter wall. A plurality of vertical cables extend from the first rail to the second rail, where a first end of each of the plurality of vertical cables extends through a respective first cable hole and a second end of each of the plurality of vertical cables extends through a respective second cable hole.

Abstract: A rail panel includes a top rail defining a plurality of fastener receiving holes and a plurality of top cable holes. The rail panel includes a bottom rail defining a plurality of bottom cable holes and a plurality of clip receiving holes. The rail panel includes a plurality of vertical cables extending from the top rail to the bottom rail. The rail panel includes a plurality of threaded swage fittings, each coupled to a respective top end of one of the plurality of vertical cables, and a plurality of clip receiving swage fittings, each coupled to a respective bottom end of one of the plurality of vertical cables, and a plurality of clips, each received by a respective clip receiving swage fitting.

Abstract: Disclosed is a passive illumination apparatus for improving the visibility of an optical fiber by projecting reflected light to passively illuminate an optical fiber for allowing the user improved visibility for inserting the optical fiber into an orifice. One embodiment of the concept uses a passive illumination apparatus having a pattern of one or more colors for reflectively transmitting chromatic light along with an optional contrast surface such as a gray or black stripe for providing a highly contrasting background for the user to view the optical fiber against. The ambient light is transmitted or directed from a reflective surface such as a concave curved region for passively illuminating the optical fiber. The passive illumination apparatus may be used on any suitable device such as a connector installation tool, a splicer, a stripper for an optical fiber coating or a cleaver as desired.
