Filed:

Jul 20, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/880267

Inventors:

Stephen Guy Bloodworth - Ft. Worth TX, US
Cesar Geronimo Garcia - North Richland Hills TX, US
William Julius McPhil Giraud - Springtown TX, US
Todd Edward Mitchell - Ft. Worth TX, US

Assignee:

Corning Cable Systems LLC - Hickory NC

International Classification:

G02B 6/00
G02B 6/36

US Classification:

385136, 385 76, 385 86, 385 87, 385134, 385137

Abstract:

There is provided a fiber optic connector holder adapted to selectively retain two or more fiber optic connectors that include a dust cap on the ferrule. The connector holder comprises a boot retainer to selectively retain a portion of the boot of the connector, and the connector holder comprises a dust cap retainer to selectively retain a portion of the dust cap of the connector. The connector holder is provided in a telecommunications enclosure to provide convenient parking for fiber optic connectors that are not optically connected within a distribution field or the like or that are generally not in service at the time. The connector holders may be selectively installed and/or removed from the telecommunications enclosure to assist in the installation of new fiber optic hardware, such as splitter modules.

International Classification:

G02B 6/00

US Classification:

385135

Abstract:

There is provided fiber optic hardware and hardware components adapted to provide a desired amount of fiber optic connectivity and/or functionality for a desired amount of volume, materials, etc. The fiber optic hardware components include, but are not limited to multiports, local convergence points (LCPs), particularly LCPs for multiple dwelling units or similar applications, network interface devices, equipment frames, and fiber distribution hubs. Certain fiber optic hardware components are adapted to accommodate microstructured optical fiber or other bend performance optical fiber.

International Classification:

G02B 6/00

US Classification:

385135000

Abstract:

An optical fiber distribution cabinet includes at least three separate, vertically arranged areas of optical fiber functionality; namely a coupler module storage compartment, a fiber slack storage compartment, and a fiber connection compartment with the fiber slack storage compartment disposed laterally between the coupler module storage compartment and the fiber connection compartment. A plurality of pre-connectorized (pigtail or jumper) coupler module output fibers are routed from the coupler module storage compartment through the fiber slack storage compartment to the fiber connection compartment and interconnected with corresponding optical fibers of one or more pre-connectorized distribution cables. At least one coupler module input fiber is spliced directly to an optical fiber of a feeder cable. Alternatively, the coupler module input fiber is routed from the coupler module storage compartment through the fiber slack storage compartment to the fiber connection compartment and interconnected with a corresponding optical fiber of a pre-connectorized feeder cable.
