Abstract: A breakout module includes a substantially cylindrical body having a first end face and an opposite, second end face. A multi-fiber port, like an MPO port, is provided within the first end face, or a cord having a multi-fiber connector, like an MPO connector, attached to its distal end exits the first end face. Plural duplex fiber ports are disposed within the second end face. A breakout cable is disposed within the body and connects the plural duplex fiber ports of the second end face to the multi-fiber port or connector associated with the first end face.

Abstract: A housing includes a first panel having a keeper, a hinged door shiftable between a first position generally perpendicular to the first panel and a second position, and a lock mounted on the door, the lock comprising a rotatable cylinder having an axis of rotation perpendicular to the door and a cam. The cam has a first end connected to the cylinder for rotation with the cylinder and a second end spaced from the first end by a cam body, the second end extending at an angle to the cam body and lying in a second plane parallel to the axis of rotation. When the door is in the first position, the cam is shiftable from a first orientation with the cam second end spaced from the keeper to a second orientation with the cam second end overlying a side of the keeper opposite the cylinder to lock the door.

Abstract: A connector includes a body configured to latchingly connect to a complementary connector element in a latching direction and an arm projecting from the body at an angle to the axis. The arm is configured to shift from a first position with its distal end a first distance from the axis to a second position with its distal end a second distance from the axis, and the body is removable from the complementary connector element when the arm is in the second position. The connector includes a force redirection element connected to the body and an extension member in contact with the force redirection element. The force redirection element is configured such that when a force is applied to the extension member in a direction opposite the latching direction, the arm is shifted from the first position toward the second position.

Abstract: A fiber management device includes a first member having a floor, a first end, a second end and first and second sides, the first end including at least one holder for securing at least one optical fiber adapter to the first member, the second end including a frame holding a plurality of fiber optic connectors, the first side and second sides including first and second fiber guide structures. A first optical fiber connector is in the at least one holder, and includes a first plurality of optical fibers forming a first loop on the floor that contacts the first fiber guide structure and the second fiber guide structure. A second member includes a housing releasably connected to the first member and defining with the first member an enclosure for the first loop.

Abstract: A fiber optic component includes a body having at least one receptacle configured to receive a fiber optic connector, a shutter base mounted to the body at a mounting location adjacent to the at least one receptacle, and a first shutter connected to the shutter base by a first hinge. The first shutter, first hinge and shutter base are unitarily formed, and the first shutter is shiftable from a first position biased against the body and covering the at least one receptacle to a second position biased to an angularly spaced position relative to the first position.

Abstract: A removable cable gland includes a two-piece fitting which may be laterally assembled over a cable, as opposed to a cable being fed through an opening in the fitting. A two-piece compression nut may also be laterally assembled over the cable. The two pieces of the compression nut are slid together along a longitudinal direction of the cable by a tongue and groove arrangement. The two pieces of the fitting are plugged together in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cable. Once first threads of the fitting are engaged to second threads of the compression nut, the two-piece fitting is locked together by the surrounding compression nut. Simultaneously, the two-piece compression nut is locked together, such that the tongue may not slide longitudinally relative to the groove, due to the first and second thread engagement.
