Publication number: 20200183116Abstract: A fiber distribution system (10) includes a fiber distribution hub (20, 300); at least one fiber distribution terminal (30, 100); and a cable (40) wrapped around a spool (110) of the fiber distribution terminal (30, 100). The fiber distribution terminal (30, 100) includes a spool (110) and a management tray (120) that rotate together. A second connectorized end (40b) of the cable (40) is held at a fiber optic adapter (125) on the tray (120). After dispensing the first connectorized end (40a) to the hub (20), an optical splitter (70, 130, 140) can be mounted to the tray (120). The splitter (26, 70, 130, 140, 306) has output adapters at which patch cords (50) can be inserted to connect subscribers to the system. The fiber distribution hub can use the same format of splitters (26, 70, 130, 140, 306). Other distributed splitter systems are provided with splicing and/or adding of splitters as needed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2019Publication date: June 11, 2020Applicant: COMMSCOPE CONNECTIVITY BELGIUM BVBAInventors: Samuel LEEMAN, David Jan Irma VAN BAELEN, Stephane COLLART, Vincent Francois Michel CNOPS

Patent number: 9684142Abstract: A fiber distribution terminal (30, 130, 230) including a housing (131, 231); and a spool arrangement (136, 236) that can rotate relative to the housing about an axis of rotation. The spool arrangement includes a drum portion (142, 242) centered on the axis of rotation and a flange (144, 146, 244, 246) that rotates with the drum portion about the axis of rotation. A fiber optic cable (40) is coiled on the drum portion. A fiber optic adapter (164, 264) and a connectorized pigtail (160, 260) are carried with the flange and positioned within the housing. The spool arrangement (136, 236) rotates relative to the housing when the fiber optic cable (40) is paid out. The drum portion (142, 242) can be removed from the flange after the fiber optic cable has been paid out to provide the distribution terminal with a compact configuration.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2013Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: CommScope Connectivity Belgium BVBAInventors: Stephane Collart, David Jan Irma Van Baelen, Samuel Leeman
