    摘要: A fiber optic connector is disclosed that includes a plug body having a plug end and a connector core that mounts within the plug body. The connector core includes a ferrule subassembly including a ferrule, a ferrule hub that attaches to the ferrule, a spring holder and a connector spring. The ferrule sub-assembly is assembled with the connector spring pre-compressed to an initial compressed state prior to mounting the connector core within the connector body. The plug body and the core are configured such that the connector spring is moved from the initial compressed state to a final compressed state when the connector core is loaded in the plug body. In certain examples, tuning features can be integrated into the connector core.

    摘要: A closure (100) is configured to hold one or more termination arrangements (120) at which one or more connectorized ends of optical cables can be received. The closure (100) provides axial pull-out protection for the connectorized ends (142) of the optical cables (140). In certain implementations, the closure (100) provides axial pull-out protection for the connectorized ends (142) of optical cables (140) arranged in multiple layers within the closure (100). In certain implementations, the closure (100) provides axial pull-out protection for standard optical connectors (e.g., standard SC connectors, standard LC connectors, standard LX.5 connectors, standard MPO connectors, etc.). The axial pull-out protection can be in the form of a cover (130). Cable bend protection (136) may also be provided by the cover.

    摘要: A fiber optic telecommunications device (2302/2402/2502) includes a first fiber optic connection location (2308) defined on the telecommunications device (2302/2402/2502), wherein a plurality of optical fibers (2307) extends into the telecommunications device (2302/2402/2502) from the first fiber optic connection location (2308). A plurality of second fiber optic connection locations (2309) are movably disposed on the telecommunications device (2302/2402/2502). A flexible substrate (2306/2506) is positioned between the first fiber optic connection location (2308) and the plurality of second fiber optic connection locations (2309), the flexible substrate (2306/2506) rigidly supporting the plurality of optical fibers (2307) and relaying the plurality of fibers (2307) from the first fiber optic connection location (2308) to each of the second fiber optic connection locations (2309).

    摘要: An enclosure (20, 220) includes a housing (22, 222) and a sealing unit (48, 42a, 232) that mounts within a sealing unit opening (28, 230) of the housing. The sealing unit (48, 42a, 232) provides a peripheral seal between the housing (22, 222) and the sealing unit (48, 42a, 232) and provides seals around cable ports (50). The sealing unit (48, 42a, 232) can be mounted to and removed from the housing (222) through the sealing unit opening (28, 230). The base (26) lacks a permanent retention structure (55, 155a) at the outer end of the base (26) for retaining the sealing unit (48, 42a, 232) in the base (26). A cover (24) is removable from the base (26) without requiring the sealant arrangement (52, 236) to be de-pressurized. A fastening arrangement (55, 155a) releasably retains the sealing unit (48, 42a, 232) in the sealing unit opening (28, 230).

    摘要: An enclosure includes a sealing unit including a sealant arrangement for defining and sealing cable ports and for providing a peripheral seal between a housing and the sealing unit. An actuation arrangement pressurizes the sealant arrangement. An indicator arrangement indicates to a user that an actuator has been sufficiently moved to fully actuate the sealant arrangement. Example indicator arrangements include indicia visible through viewing windows and/or aligning structures. Example indicator arrangements can include structure for accounting for sealant shrinkage over time.

    摘要: A multi-positionable tray assembly (20) for mounting within a chassis (10) of a telecommunications panel (100) is disclosed. The multi-positionable tray assembly (20) may include support arm (24) that pivotally supports a tray (22) and that allows the tray assembly (20) to be installed and removed from the chassis (10). The tray (22) and the support arm (24) cooperatively define a cable routing pathway (208) that extends through a pivot axis (A1) defined by the tray and the support arm. To minimize the required depth of the tray (10) and optimize cable routing, the tray (20) can include a cable management structure (102) with a patch panel (104) having a plurality of adapters (108) arranged along a transverse axis (A2), wherein the transverse axis is non-parallel or oblique to a front plane (A4) of the tray.
