Apparatus for selectively interfacing first optical fibers with second optical fibers including a stationary housing having a connector panel and storage cassettes, and a slideable drawer having a splice tray and a fiber and pigtail take-up enclosure.

1550 nm fiber distribution panel

Apparatus for interfacing outside plant fiber optic cable with fiber optic testing, multiplexing and transmission equipment, including a stationary housing and moveable integrated connector panel, splice shelf and cable storage unit.

Fiber distribution panel

A splice cradle for use with fiber optic splices, such splice cradle being useful with many different types of splices and including a base, which holds the fibers in place without constraint, a lid which protects the splice from damage, and a resilient member therebetween which cushions the splice against vibration.

Splice cradle

A fiber optic splice and fiber holder and a housing for one or more of such holders. Each holder includes spool-type apparatus for removing slack in two fibers joined by a splice. Each housing accommodates a plurality of such holders, each of which is readily inserted into and removed from the housing.

Fiber optic splice and fiber holder and housing therefor

A splice cradle for use with fiber optic splices to hold such splices in place. Pairs of leaf springs are bowed towards each other to firmly engage a splice inserted therebetween.

A 2.times.2 optical switch employes a six-faced prism which can be moved from a first position to a second position. Mechanical latching means are used to maintain the second position without the necessity of applying continuous power to the moving means which preferably is a solenoid.

Fiber optic switch

A duplex electrical receptacle providing ground fault protection and mountable in an ordinary wall outlet box and including a metal support plate formed to telescope over a container of electrical insulating material and be affixed thereto and to a wall outlet box with the container having therein a pair of bus-bar conductors of identical configuration and reversibly positioned, flexible spring-like connectors coupling a power source to the bus-bar conductors, a plugable printed circuit board with associated electrical circuitry and components for detecting a ground fault condition, and a re-set guide assembly responsive to the circuitry of the printed circuit board for effecting connection and disconnection of a power source and the bus bar conductors of the receptacle.
