  • Patent number: 10393982
    Abstract: A telecommunications box includes a base frame, having generally planar outer walls that form an enclosed loop around an interior volume. The outer walls include first and second sidewalls that are parallel to and spaced apart from one another. A flange adjoins front-facing edge sides of the outer walls and extends away from the outer walls in an opposite direction as the interior volume. A first window, which is partially defined by the front-facing edge sides of the outer walls, exposes the interior volume from a front side of the base frame. A second window, which is partially defined by rear-facing edge sides of the outer walls, exposes the interior volume from a rear side of the base frame. The first window occupies the same footprint in a front-facing position that the second window occupies in a rear-facing position that is rotationally reversed from the front-facing position.

  • Patent number: 9612404
    Abstract: A device for retaining a plurality of fiber tubes includes a bottom side, a top side, and outer sidewalls extending between the top and bottom sides. First and second groups of fiber tube receptacles in the top side and extend between first and second opposite facing outer sidewalls. First, second and third anchor points of the device each have a pair of fastener perforations extending through the top and bottom sides. First and second anchor points are arranged outside of the first and second groups of fiber tube receptacles. The third anchor point is arranged between the first and second groups. Each of the fiber tube receptacles has a first diameter in outer longitudinal regions and a second diameter in a central longitudinal region, the central longitudinal region being disposed between the outer regions. The first diameter is greater than the second diameter.
