A fiber optic telecommunications device includes a frame and a fiber optic module including a rack mount portion, a center portion, and a main housing portion. The rack mount portion is stationarily coupled to the frame, the center portion is slidably coupled to the rack mount portion along a sliding direction, and the main housing portion is slidably coupled to the center portion along the sliding direction. The main housing portion of the fiber optic module includes fiber optic connection locations for connecting cables to be routed through the frame. The center portion of the fiber optic module includes a radius limiter for guiding cables between the main housing portion and the frame, the center portion also including a latch for unlatching the center portion for slidable movement. Slidable movement of the center portion with respect to the rack mount portion moves the main housing portion with respect to the frame along the sliding direction.

Slidable fiber optic connection module with cable slack management

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.

Communications panel system

Tray arrangements for cassettes

A panel arrangement provides at least 288 output fiber connections within 1 rack unit (RU). The panel arrangement includes modules mounted within a chassis. Each module carries a plurality of optical adapters, which each define multiple de-mateable connection interface locations. In certain examples, each connection interface location enables a connection between multiple pairs of optical fibers. A WDM or other optical circuitry may be provided within the module to optically couple an input connection interface location to output connection interface locations.

Optical panel arrangements and modules therefore

An adapter block assembly includes an adapter block, a circuit board arrangement, and a cover attached to the adapter block so that the circuit board arrangement is held to the adapter block by the cover. Contact assemblies can be disposed between the adapter block and the circuit board arrangement. The cover can be latched, heat staked, or otherwise secured to the adapter block. Each component of the adapter block assembly can include one or more parts (e.g., multiple adapter blocks, multiple circuit boards, and/or multiple cover pieces).

Optical assemblies with managed connectivity

A system for gripping the outside jacket of a cable including a flexible gripper having a serpentine shape, teeth on one side and retention channels on another side. The retention channels each receive a cable tie.

Cable retention device, system and method

A telecommunications module includes an optical wavelength division multiplexer/demultiplexer configured to demultiplex a first optical signal input into the telecommunications module into a plurality of different wavelengths, a fiber optic splitter configured to split a second optical signal input into the telecommunication module into a plurality of optical signals, and a plurality of optical add/drop filters, each of the optical add/drop filters configured to combine one of the optical signals that has been split by the fiber optic splitter and one of the wavelengths that has been demultiplexed by the optical wavelength division multiplexer/demultiplexer into a combination output signal that is output from the telecommunications module.
