Technology allowing for easy access to connectors in a patch panel. In one of the configurations a patch panel includes at least one patch panel subassembly, each patch panel subassembly including at least one mounting plate and a plurality of port assemblies, the at least one mounting plate being configured to accommodate the port assemblies so that each port assembly can individually translate along a direction parallel to a surface of the mounting plate and can rotate about an axis perpendicular to the surface of the mounting plate.

Easy access patch panel

A cabinet unit for use in an optical fiber distribution system may include a housing having a cavity, a plurality of extension portions contained within the housing, each extension portion being adapted to support an adapter for receiving cables aligned lengthwise with the extension portion, and a support structure formed on an inner surface of the housing, each extension portion being mounted to the housing by the support structure and extends away from the inner surface of the housing. The plurality of extension portions may be hingedly coupled to the support structure. A clearance between two adjacent extension portions of a given support bar may be configured to be adjusted by rotating the adjacent extension portions along their respective hinged connections.

Optical fiber distribution system

A communication system may include a first chassis having first and second side walls and adapted to slidably receive therein a plurality of cassettes. A first cable hanger assembly may have a first side edge hingedly coupled to the first side wall of the first chassis, the first cable hanger assembly including a plurality of first hangers adapted to support cables thereon. An axis of rotation of the first cable hanger assembly may be substantially orthogonal to a direction in which the plurality of cassettes are slideable. The cable hanger assembly may be rotatable from a first position to a second position so that during rotation from the first position to the second position, the plurality of first hangers move toward front faces of the plurality of cassettes.

Apparatus for cable routing

An optical fiber distribution system may include a housing that includes an end cap unit, a main cabinet unit, and a fiber termination unit. The main cabinet unit may have a door that opens to provide access to the interior of the main cabinet unit, which may include a plurality of cassettes in a stacked arrangement within the main cabinet unit. The cassettes may be rotatably coupled to a cassette support so that, when the door is open, the cassettes may be individually rotated at least partially out of the main cabinet unit to provide access to the cassettes for maintenance. The fiber distribution system may be mountable to a strand so that the system hangs in a suspended state, and a plurality of the main cabinet units may be coupled to one another in a cascading fashion to provide increased cassette capacity.

A communication system includes an outer housing, an inner housing, and a hanger plate assembly. The outer housing has first and second side walls. The inner housing is at least partially positioned within the outer housing. The inner housing has first and second side walls and is configured to receive a plurality of patch panel devices therein in a stacked arrangement. The hanger plate assembly includes a first hanger plate hingedly coupled to the first side wall of the inner housing and a plurality of hangers connected to the first hanger plate in a stacked arrangement. Each hanger is adapted to support a cable thereon. The hanger plate assembly has a stored condition in which the hanger plate assembly is fully positioned within the outer housing, and a pulled out condition in which the hanger plate assembly is at least partially positioned outside the outer housing.

A cassette conveying system comprising a housing having front, back, left, and right sides, wherein the front side is open; and a cassette holding assembly for holding one or more cassettes, the holding assembly including a bracket to which each cassette is coupled, each cassette including at least one device and receiving one or more cables operatively connected to the device, and a cassette conveying assembly operably coupling the cassette holding assembly to the housing such that the cassette holding assembly is linearly and rotationally movable in relation to the housing and transitionable between a stored state and a retracted state; wherein, in the stored state, the cassette holding mechanism is stored completely within the housing; and wherein, in the retracted state, the cassette holding mechanism is at least partially external the front side of the housing.
