Abstract: A fiber optic system includes a telecommunications chassis defining a front and a rear, a plurality of blades slidably mounted to the chassis, the blades slidable in a direction extending from the front to the rear, and a plurality of fiber optic cassettes removably mounted to each blade. Each fiber optic cassette includes a housing defining a maximum cassette height, the housing formed by a base and a cover mounted thereon. Each cassette defines fiber optic connection locations. The base of each cassette defines a notched area for receiving a portion of the blade on which the cassette is mounted such that the blade does not increase the overall maximum height defined by the housing.

Abstract: A hinge mechanism (10) for pivotally coupling a door (12) to a telecommunications chassis (14) includes an outer hinge arm (46) configured to be pivotally attached with respect to the chassis (14) and an inner hinge arm (48) configured to be pivotally attached with respect to both the outer hinge arm (46) and the door (12) of the chassis (14). The hinge mechanism (10) is configured such that when the door (12) is fully closed, the outer and inner hinge arms (46, 48) are generally vertically overlapped, and when the door (12) is fully open, the outer and inner hinge arms (46, 48) are generally at a perpendicular angle with respect to each other.

Abstract: A support frame (10) for a cabling trunk assembly (1) is disclosed. In one embodiment, the support frame (10) has a main body (11) defining a mounting surface (41), and a first extension leg (50) extending along a first side edge (42) of the main body (11) and away from the mounting surface (41). Similarly, the support frame (10) can be provided with a second extension leg (52) that extends along a second side edge (44) of the main body (11) and away from the mounting surface (41). The extension legs (50, 52) may be provided with tabs (54, 56) to provide a secure connection with receiving grooves (28, 29) on a channel (12) of the cabling trunk assembly (1). The extension legs (50, 52) may also be configured to provide a snap-fit connection with the receiving grooves (28, 29).

Abstract: A telecommunications cable management assembly (100) for a distribution frame (10) is disclosed. The cable management assembly (100) includes a front plate (110) extending between first and second ends (110a, 110c) and is provided with apertures (112) for mounting telecommunications components (20). A first side bracket (120) is mounted with the first end (110a) of the front plate (110) to the distribution frame (10). The first side bracket (120) supports cables (26) extending laterally from components (20). A second side bracket (130) is mounted with the second end (110c) of the front plate (110) to the distribution frame (10). The second side bracket (130) can also support cables (28) extending laterally from components (20).
