Abstract

An optical fiber splicing tray is disclosed. The optical fiber splicing tray may include: an optical fiber splicing tray body; and a marker detachably connected to the optical fiber splicing tray body, where the marker is arranged at a position facilitating observation and identification of the marker when a plurality of optical fiber splicing trays are stacked.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An optical fiber splicing tray, comprising:
an optical fiber splicing tray body; and
a marker, detachably connected to the optical fiber splicing tray body, wherein the marker is arranged at a position facilitating observation and identification of the marker when a plurality of optical fiber splicing trays are stacked;
wherein the optical fiber splicing tray body comprises an outer frame on a surface of the optical fiber splicing tray body, the outer frame comprises a protrusion arranged on the outer frame, and the marker is capable of fitting with the protrusion, wherein the marker is configured to be removably plugged in the protrusion; and
the optical fiber splicing tray body comprises a fixed end configured for installation of the optical fiber splicing tray and a non-fixed end opposite to the fixed end, the outer frame comprises two corners at the non-fixed end, each of the two corners is provided with the protrusion, into which the marker is removably plugged.

2. The optical fiber splicing tray of claim 1 , wherein a buckle hole is provided in the protrusion of the optical fiber splicing tray body, and a side of the marker is provided with a buckle matched and buckled into the buckle hole.

3. The optical fiber splicing tray of claim 2 , wherein the buckle of the marker comprises an enlarged head having a tightening section, the tightening section is provided with an axial open groove.

4. The optical fiber splicing tray of claim 1 , wherein the marker is removably plugged at a side edge of the optical fiber splicing tray.

5. The optical fiber splicing tray of claim 4 , wherein the optical fiber splicing tray is provided with a buckle hole at the side edge, and the marker is provided with a buckle matched and buckled into the buckle hole.

6. The optical fiber splicing tray of claim 5 , wherein the buckle of the marker comprises an enlarged head having a tightening section, the tightening section is provided with an axial open groove.

7. The optical fiber splicing tray of claim 1 , wherein the marker is configured to have one or a combination of a different color, a different letter, a different number, and a different pattern corresponding to the optic fiber splicing tray body.

8. The optical fiber splicing tray of claim 1 , wherein the marker is provided with a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag.

9. The optical fiber splicing tray of claim 1 , wherein the protrusion of the optical fiber splicing tray body comprises a lug.

10. An optical fiber splicing tray, comprising:
an optical fiber splicing tray body; and
a marker, detachably connected to the optical fiber splicing tray body, wherein the marker is arranged at a position facilitating observation and identification of the marker when a plurality of optical fiber splicing trays are stacked;
wherein the optical fiber splicing tray body comprises an outer frame on a surface of the optical fiber splicing tray body, the outer frame comprises a protrusion arranged on the outer frame, and the marker is capable of fitting with the protrusion; and
the optical fiber splicing tray body comprises a fixed end configured for installation of the optical fiber splicing tray and a non-fixed end opposite to the fixed end, the outer frame comprises two corners at the non-fixed end, at least one of the two corners is provided with the protrusion, the marker is removably plugged into the protrusion at one of the two corners.

11. The optical fiber splicing tray of claim 10 , wherein a buckle hole is provided in the protrusion of the optical fiber splicing tray body, and a side of the marker is provided with a buckle matched and buckled into the buckle hole.

12. The optical fiber splicing tray of claim 11 , wherein the buckle of the marker comprises an enlarged head having a tightening section, the tightening section is provided with an axial open groove.

13. The optical fiber splicing tray of claim 10 , wherein the marker is configured to have one or a combination of a different color, a different letter, a different number, and a different pattern corresponding to the optic fiber splicing tray body.

14. The optical fiber splicing tray of claim 10 , wherein the marker is provided with a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag.

15. The optical fiber splicing tray of claim 10 , wherein the protrusion of the optical fiber splicing tray body comprises a lug.

16. An optical fiber splicing tray, comprising:
an optical fiber splicing tray body; and
a marker, detachably connected to the optical fiber splicing tray body,
wherein the marker is arranged at a position facilitating observation and identification of the marker when a plurality of optical fiber splicing trays are stacked; and
wherein the optical fiber splicing tray body comprises a fixed end configured for installation of the optical fiber splicing tray and a non-fixed end opposite to the fixed end, the marker is removably plugged at one or each of two corners of the optical fiber splicing tray body at the non-fixed end.
