Adapter panel for an optical fiber distribution frame

Description

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a first embodiment of an adapter panel for an optical fiber distribution frame embodying our new design that includes eight apertures for receiving respective fiber optic connectors of which one is shown in broken lines for purposes of illustration;

FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the first embodiment of the adapter panel illustrated in FIG. 1;

FIG. 3 is a front plan view of the first embodiment of the adapter panel taken from the side illustrated in FIG. 1;

FIG. 4 is a side elevational view of the first embodiment of the adapter panel taken from the side opposite that illustrated in FIG. 2;

FIG. 5 is an end elevational view of the first embodiment of the adapter panel;

FIG. 6 is an end elevational view of the first embodiment of the adapter panel taken from the end opposite that illustrated in FIG. 5;

FIG. 7 is a rear plan view of the first embodiment of the adapter panel taken from the side opposite that illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 3; and,

FIG. 8 is a front plan view of a second embodiment of an adapter panel for an optical fiber distribution frame embodying our new design that includes six apertures for receiving respective fiber optic connectors.

The fiber optic connector and the attachment tab shown in FIG. 1 in broken lines are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design.

The perspective, rear, side and end views of the second embodiment of the adapter panel shown in FIG. 8 are like FIGS. 2 and 4-7 with the difference being the number of apertures for receiving respective fiber optic connectors and the number of identification tabs, one of which is associated with each aperture.
