  • Patent number: 11870229
    Abstract: A connection interface includes a base bracket and a cable connection carrier (e.g., module, panel, etc.). The cable connection carrier has a front wall to which one or more cable connection components (e.g., optical components, electrical components, and/or hybrid components) are mounted. The cable connection carrier may angle the cable connection components relative to an open front of the base bracket. Some cable connection carriers may be snap-fit to the base bracket for easy installation. Other cable connection carriers are movable (e.g., pivotal) relative to the base bracket.

  • Publication number: 20230288655
    Abstract: A fiber optic telecommunications device includes a frame and a fiber optic module including a rack mount portion, a center portion, and a main housing portion. The rack mount portion is stationarily coupled to the frame, the center portion is slidably coupled to the rack mount portion along a sliding direction, and the main housing portion is slidably coupled to the center portion along the sliding direction. The main housing portion of the fiber optic module includes fiber optic connection locations for connecting cables to be routed through the frame. The center portion of the fiber optic module includes a radius limiter for guiding cables between the main housing portion and the frame, the center portion also including a latch for unlatching the center portion for slidable movement. Slidable movement of the center portion with respect to the rack mount portion moves the main housing portion with respect to the frame along the sliding direction.

  • Patent number: 11728071
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cable assembly including a sleeve and a plurality of cables that extend through the sleeve. The cable assembly also includes a grommet positioned within the sleeve at a location offset from one end of the sleeve. The grommet forms a dam location. The cable assembly further includes a bonding material at least partially filling a region of the sleeve located between the dam location and the end of the sleeve. The bonding material bonds the fiber optic cables and the grommet relative to the sleeve. The cables extend through the grommet and the bonding material and include break-out portions that extend outwardly beyond the end of the sleeve.

  • Patent number: 11726272
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a fiber optic jumper including a fiber optic cable that extends between first and second cable ends. The fiber optic cable includes a cable jacket containing at least first and second optical fibers. The fiber optic jumper also includes an optical transceiver module directly terminated at the first end of the fiber optic cable, and at least one fiber optic connector directly terminated at the second end of the fiber optic cable. The fiber optic jumper is outdoor rated for temperatures ranging from minus 40 to 75 degrees Celsius.

  • Patent number: 11630279
    Abstract: A break-out assembly includes an enclosure defining a first port at the first end to receive an optical cable and a second port at the second end to receive a plurality of break-out cables. Each port leads to the interior of the enclosure. A cable retention region defined within the enclosure at the second end is configured to enable the break-out cables to each secure to the enclosure at one of a plurality of axial locations. Certain types of break-out assemblies include other cable retention regions to axially and/or rotationally secure the optical cable to the enclosure. A splice retention region is disposed within the enclosure between the first port and the second cable retention region. The splice retention region receives optical splices at which optical fibers of the optical cable are spliced to optical fibers of the break-out cables.
