  • Entry and internal fiber clips for a fiber management system
    Patent number: 7010210
    Abstract: Described is a fiber management system having an internal fiber clip for segregating fiber optic cables in the enclosure and an entry fiber clip for guiding fiber optic cables bundled by the internal fiber clip to a telecommunications system external to the enclosure. The internal fiber clip includes a fiber guide portion and a locking mechanism connected to one end of the fiber guide portion for attaching the internal fiber clip to a wall of the enclosure. The locking mechanism has a resilient fin and a stem with a tab. The tab and the resilient fin both extend laterally away from the stem. The resilient fin urges against a first side of the wall and the tab is urged against an opposite side of the wall when the internal fiber clip is rotated with the tab fully inserted through an opening in the wall.
