Patent number: 6522823Abstract: A low profile cable exit trough including an arch-wall with a sidewall portion. A projecting member extends from a concave surface of the arch-wall and is spaced from the sidewall portion to receive a top end of an upstanding side of a lateral trough therebetween. The arch-wall passes through the plane occupied by the upstanding side of the lateral trough at a significant angle, i.e. greater than or equal to 15 degrees, in order to allow for a lower profile above the lateral trough.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2000Date of Patent: February 18, 2003Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: Michael J. Wentworth, Wayne Giesen, Brian L. Johnson, Wayne Albin Johnson, Thomas Walter Kampf, John Van Scoy, Alex Watts

Patent number: 5923753Abstract: A cable trough is provided including a bottom portion and two upstanding sides extending from the bottom portion to define a cable pathway. The upstanding sides define an enlarged central portion of the cable trough, and the bottom portion including at least one exit trough portion. The exit trough portion can be centrally located, with a bypass pathway on either side. At least one separator wall is provided to separate the exit trough portion from each bypass pathway. A component flange is also provided extending from one of the upstanding sides. The cable trough can also include a cable storage pathway. Alternatively, two exit trough portions can be positioned on opposite sides of the cable trough adjacent each upstanding side, and on opposite sides of a central bypass pathway.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 1997Date of Patent: July 13, 1999Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Jon Haataja, Thomas Walter Kampf, Wayne Albin Johnson, Gary F.

Patent number: 5752781Abstract: A coupling for a cable routing system includes wall guides spaced apart by a thickness equal to a thickness of the walls of fiber troughs to be joined by the coupling. The wall guides carry a fastener system including a bracket disposed to oppose an external surface of a trough or fitting attached to the coupling. A fastener is carried on the bracket and is axially drivable to pierce and penetrate into the wall thickness of a coupled trough.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 1997Date of Patent: May 19, 1998Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Jon Haataja, Thomas Walter Kampf, Richard Alan Oftedahl, Wayne Albin Johnson, Gary F.
