Patent number: 6411766Abstract: Devices for routing and organizing fibers in a rack that houses optical equipment, including a strain relief member, a chaffing guard, and a sag reducer. The strain relief member includes a body having rounded upper and lower portions, each being at least equal to the minimum bend radius of the fibers exiting the equipment, and fins on top of the body. Fibers can be interference fit between adjacent fins, thereby relieving pressure on the connector caused by gravity when the fiber hangs down over the strain relief member. The chaffing guard includes a body having a rounded upper portion and a rounded lower portion that each maintain the minimum bend radius of fibers routed over the guard. The rounded upper portion has no sharp edges and therefore reduces chaffing of fibers routed over the top of the chaffing guard.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 1999Date of Patent: June 25, 2002Inventors: Ronald D. Bechamps, William S. Leib, III

Patent number: 6256444Abstract: An apparatus for organizing fibers in a rack that houses optical equipment, including a guide that can be removably connected at one of a plurality of different locations to define paths in which fibers can be routed between equipment within the rack. The invention includes a panel having an array of mounting holes therein, and a plurality of guides that can be removably connected to the panel at a plurality of different locations defined by the mounting holes. The panel is located in the rack adjacent to each rack space that houses a piece of equipment and preferably includes a plurality of columns having a plurality of mounting holes in each column. This provides a plurality of vertical and horizontal locations at which a guide can be connected to the panel, thereby allowing the guide to be connected to an appropriate location depending on the size of the equipment in the rack space.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 1999Date of Patent: July 3, 2001Assignee: Antec CorporationInventors: Ronald D.
