Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present disclosure includes devices and systems for optical fiber management. One embodiment includes a device comprising an integrated separation surface separating an upper level of storage and a lower level of storage and an integrated adapter plate comprising a number of optical connectors and arranged at a first angle with respect to a floor of the device.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An optical fiber management device comprising: an integrated separation surface separating an upper level of storage and a lower level of storage; and an integrated adapter plate molded into the device, the integrated adapter plate comprising a number of optical connectors and arranged at a first angle with respect to a floor of the device to accommodate optical fiber management components beneath at least a portion of the number of connectors while maintaining a particular radius bend limit corresponding to optical fiber. 2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the separation surface is arranged at a second angle with respect to the floor of the device and wherein the first and the second angle are different angles. 3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the optical fiber includes ribbon fiber. 4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the device comprises a resiliently connected cover. 5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the optical fiber management components include at least one of: a distribution fiber pigtail; and a heat shrink fusion sleeve. 6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the device comprises an identifier portion providing an identifier for each respective one of the number of optical connectors. 7. The device of claim 1 , comprising an integrated, non-removable splice tray.
