Patent number: 11860435Abstract: A fiber optic pigtail assembly that includes a plurality of optical fibers and at least one optical connector. The optical fibers each have a first end opposite a second end. The plurality of optical fibers are ribbonized together from the first end of each of the plurality of optical fibers partway toward the second end of each of the plurality of optical fibers and form a ribbonized end portion. The at least one optical connector is connected to the second end of each of the plurality of optical fibers. A loose portion of the plurality of optical fibers is positioned between the at least one optical connector and the ribbonized end portion.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventors: Sean McCloud, Tony Yuen, Jamie Leonard

Patent number: 10863251Abstract: A telecommunications enclosure having a door hingedly attached to a chassis. The chassis has a first through-hole configured to have at least one patching panel installed therein. A different enclosure, like the telecommunications enclosure, is mountable on the door. The door is rotatable relative to the chassis between closed and open positions when the different enclosure is mounted thereto. The door allows access to an interior of the chassis when the door is in the open position. The chassis and/or the door may have a second through-hole configured to allow a telecommunications cable connected to the at least one patching panel to pass therethrough and exit the interior of the chassis.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2019Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: LEVITON MANUFACTURING CO., INC.Inventors: Bryan Hudgens, Tony Yuen, Sean McCloud, Elizabeth G. Rasmussen

Patent number: 10740504Abstract: A fiber channel verification system provides a fiber optic network design platform that allows a user to create a graphical mock-up of a fiber optic network design, and performs fault analytics on the proposed design to identify potential faults or problems with the design. The verification system can guide the user through the process of specifying network components such as trunk cables, patch cables, fiber optic cassettes, connectors, or other such components suitable for a given networking application. The verification also allows the user to define connections between the selected components. During development or after the design is complete, the verification system can analyze each channel of network design and identify improper fiber connections, network component incompatibilities, incorrect polarities, excessive insertion or return losses, or other such problems. The verification system can also provide recommendations for eliminating discovered problems where appropriate.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2017Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: LEVITON MANUFACTURING CO., INC.Inventors: Jay Treptow, Frank Chin Hwan Kim, Scott T. Robinson, Sean McCloud, Adrian Young, Dennis Manes

Patent number: 9059576Abstract: Implementations of the present invention include a cable consolidation box for providing secure access to networks with multiple security classifications. More specifically, the cable consolidation box can allow a network administrator to physically secure network cables originating from multiple networks having distinct security classifications. In one or more implementations, the cable consolidation box can have a plurality of entry points that are segregated from one another. Each of the plurality of entry points can be associated with a corresponding plurality of segregated connection chambers. The cable consolidation box can thus allow for various types of cables, with various levels of security classification, to be associated with a single cable consolidation box.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2012Date of Patent: June 16, 2015Assignee: DIRTT ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS, LTD.Inventors: Scott J. Isaacks, Sean McCloud, Joshua Ray Knott
