Abstract: An apparatus implements high density fiber panel organization. The apparatus includes a module configured to be secured to a panel of a 1 U rack. The apparatus further includes a front end of the module. The apparatus further includes a height of the front end corresponding to a height of a 1 U rack. The apparatus further includes an aspect ratio of the front end greater than 0.75. The aspect ratio is identified by the height of the front end divided by a width of the front end.

Abstract: Apparatus, systems, methods implement replicator shelves. A blade is slidably connected to a replicator shelf. Communication connectors are positioned on the blade. A support bar, within the replicator shelf, supports a plurality of cables to a plurality of blades comprising the blade.

Abstract: An optical fiber management shelf includes a housing having a first opening and a fiber optic termination module mounted to the fiber management shelf. A first door is pivotably mounted on the housing and pivotable about an axis from a first position substantially covering the first opening to a second position allowing access to the first opening. A first projection is on the first door, and a first receiver is on the housing configured to receive and selectively retain the first projection to releasably secure the first door to the housing. The first receiver includes a latch configured to retain the first projection when the first projection is initially inserted or pushed into the first receiver. The first receiver is also configured to release the first projection when the first projection is subsequently pressed or pushed toward the first receiver after the initial insertion into the first receiver.

Abstract: A fiber management shelf includes a housing having an opening, a door shiftable between open and closed positions, and a hinge connecting the door to the housing. The hinge includes a hinge pin and a receiver configured to receive and rotatably support the hinge pin. The receiver includes a channel having first and second sides defining a channel opening having a first channel width and at least one boss on the first or second channel side so that the channel has a second width at the boss less than the first channel width. The hinge pin has a first portion with a first width in a first direction and a second width in a second direction less than the first hinge pin width, and the first hinge pin width is greater than the second channel width and the second hinge pin width is less than the second channel width.

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: An optical fiber retainer includes a first split band of material having a bottom, a top, a front and a back surrounding an interior passage, the front including a first portion depending from the top and having a bottom edge and a second portion extending from the bottom and including a top edge, the top edge and bottom edges comprising a first split of the first split band. The bottom includes an inner surface comprising a wall of the interior passage and an outer surface facing away from the interior passage, and the top includes an inner surface comprising a wall of the interior passage and an outer surface facing away from the interior passage. The bottom outer surface includes a first connector element, and the top outer surface includes a second connector element configured to releasably mate with another connector element of another split band.
