A communications panel includes a chassis receiving one or more tray arrangements that each support one or more cassettes. Each cassette carries a plurality of ports at which connections are made between front and rear plug connectors. Each tray arrangement includes guides along which the cassettes slidably mount. The guides and cassettes are configured to enable cassettes of various size to mount to the same tray without reconfiguring the guides.

Tray arrangements for cassettes

The present disclosure relates to a telecommunication device including an enclosure configured to be mounted to a telecommunication rack. The device also includes a tray that mounts within the enclosure, the tray being slidably movable relative to the enclosure along a front-to-rear axis between a first position and a second position. The tray is fully within the enclosure when in the first position. A forward portion of the tray projects forwardly from the front end of the enclosure and a rearward portion of the tray is within the enclosure when the tray is in the second position. A spool mounts on the tray and is moveable with the tray as the tray is moved between the first and second positions. The spool being rotatable relative to the tray and the enclosure to allow cable to be paid out from the spool at least when the tray is in the second position.

Rack mounted enclosure

A splice module includes a main splicing channel and a rework channel. The main splicing channel has an encapsulated section at which one or more initial splices can be stored. The main splicing channel also includes a non-encapsulated section through which trunk cable fibers of the initial splices extend. If re-splicing is needed, the trunk cable fibers can be accessed at the non-encapsulated section, cut, and re-spliced to a new connectorized pigtail or other optical fibers.
