  • Publication number: 20140126872
    Abstract: Fibre-optic distribution device, comprising a wall-installable base panel (10) having a front side and an essentially flat rear side, the front side and the rear side facing into opposite directions, the base panel (10) comprising on its front side—a mounting region (30), comprising mounting means (45, 46) for mounting a fibre-optic functional unit (70) on the mounting region (45, 46), and—a fibre routing region (40), comprising routing means (60) for routing an optical fibre (90) from or to the mounting region (30). The base panel (10) further comprises panel fixing means (55) for installing the base panel (10) flat on a wall (120) such that the rear side of the base panel (10) faces the wall (120), the panel fixing means (55) being arranged on the rear side of the base panel (10).

  • Patent number: 8380034
    Abstract: A splice tray (100) to hold a splice holder device (180) configured hold both a mechanical splice and a fusion splice, each having a different shape. A splice holder device (180) includes a first splice channel and second splice channel. Each splice channel includes one or more flexible arms spaced along a length of the splice channel to provide a resistance against a housing of the splice. Also, each channel includes one or more base supports and one or more upper stops. The flexible arms extend from a channel wall at an angle to provide force components in orthogonal directions.
