Publication number: 20230358573Abstract: Fiber-optic equipment is often deployed in various locations, and performance of fiber-optic transmissions may be monitored as a gauge of equipment status to prevent costly and inconvenient communication outages. Events that damage equipment that eventually result in outage and may be desirable to address proactively, but the occurrence of such events may be difficult to detect only through equipment performance. Presented herein are techniques for monitoring and maintaining fiber-optic equipment performance via enclosure sensors that measure physical properties within a fiber-optic equipment enclosure, such as temperature, pressure, light, motion, vibration, and moisture, which are often diagnostic and predictive of causes of eventual communication outages, such as temperature-induced cable loss (TICL), incomplete flash-testing during installation, exposure to hazardous environmental conditions, and tampering.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Daniel Joseph LEVAC, Adam Michael DEEL, Randy Gene CLOUD, David Anthony KOEHLER, Jaanki Kirit THAKKAR, Benjamin Franklin CIESIELCZYK

Publication number: 20230339521Abstract: A line bypass system includes a support structure including a first support portion and a second support portion spaced apart from the first support portion. The support structure includes an attachment portion that attaches the first support portion to the second support portion. The first support portion and the second support portion define a first opening on a first side of the attachment portion and a second opening on a second side of the attachment portion. The first opening movably receives a first guide wire and the second opening movably receives a second guide wire.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Adam DEEL, Randy Gene CLOUD
