Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Fiber management assemblies, trays and network interface devices for use in telecommunications that incorporate such assemblies and trays are described. Fiber management trays can include integrated slack storage systems and mechanical fiber splice devices mounted into integrated splice holding grooves, where the mechanical fiber splice devices are actuated by a fiber splice actuation mechanism positioned over the mechanical fiber splice device, as are network interface devices incorporating such assemblies and trays.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A fiber management tray assembly, comprising: a first optical fiber stored in loops around a slack storage system disposed on a tray, the first end of the first optical fiber being pre-installed in a first mechanical fiber splice device, wherein the first mechanical fiber splice device is securely mounted in a first fiber splice holding groove that is integrally formed in the tray, and a fiber splice actuation mechanism positioned over the first mechan…
