Patent application number | Description | Published |
20090016043 | Cable management arrangement for a telecommunications cabinet - A telecommunications system including a frame to which telecommunications equipment is mounted. The frame defines a patch panel region and an active equipment region. Patch cords are interconnected between the patch panel region and the active equipment region. The system further includes a slack storage panel that stores patch cord slack. The slack storage panel defines a single cable routing pathway. The patch cords are routed through the slack storage panel such that no portion of the length of each patch cord overlaps itself. In systems including both copper and fiber cables, the copper cables are routed separately from the fiber cables. | 01-15-2009 |
20090175588 | Lifting a Terminal Enclosure in Below Ground Applications - A fiber distribution terminal system includes a below ground vault, and a terminal enclosure positioned within the vault. The system also includes a lift system positioned within the vault, the lift system including at least one torsion member, wherein, as the terminal enclosure is pivoted from a lifted position to a below ground position, the torsion member stores potential energy, and wherein, as the terminal enclosure is pivoted from the below ground position to the lifted position, the torsion member releases the potential energy to assist in pivoting the terminal enclosure to the lifted position. | 07-09-2009 |

20110123165 | FIBER DISTRIBUTION HUB WITH SWING FRAME AND MODULAR TERMINATION PANELS - A fiber distribution system includes one or more fiber distribution hubs (FDHs) that provide an interface at a termination panel between incoming fibers routed from a central office and outgoing fibers routed to network subscribers. Termination modules can be incrementally added to the termination panel. The FDH can include one or more optical splitter modules that split an optical signal into two or more signals. The optical splitter modules can be incrementally added along with one or more storage modules. The subscriber termination panel, optical splitters, and storage modules can be provided on a swing frame. | 05-26-2011 |
