A high density fiber enclosure system includes a chassis, cassette trays, an optional unification clip, cassettes, and an optional trunk cable management system. The chassis, cassette trays, and cassettes are configured such that individual cassettes may be installed, removed, and otherwise positioned for easy access by a user. The unification clip allows two adjacent cassette trays to be connected to one other such that cassette trays move as one unit. The trunk cable management system is designed to organize trunk cables and trunk cable furcation legs as well as relieve strain on the trunk cables and trunk cable furcation legs.

High density fiber enclosure and method

The present invention provides modular trays having cutout features that are configured to engage with a mounting feature of one or more removable rails. The removable rails may be removably secured to a tray body in a plurality of positions to allow a user to install or uninstall rails to support different sized fiber optic modules. For example, a tray may support a twenty-four optical fiber module, two twelve optical fiber modules, or three eight optical fiber modules. Fiber optic enclosures housing the trays can be affixed to the outside of a fiber optic enclosure and allow for easy stacking and unstacking.

Modular fiber optic tray

A cassette configured for the installation in a fiber enclosure system. The cassette includes a base, a first wall including a first front post, a second wall including a second front post, and a front wall with an opening including an adapter configured to connect to at least one fiber optic cable. The cassette further includes a latch located on the first wall configured to releasably connect the cassette to the fiber enclosure system, where a cassette lock is configured to retract the latch when the lock is actuated away from a rear of the cassette and deploy the latch when the lock is actuated toward the rear of the cassette.

Fiber optic cassette

A cable management bracket that routes cables in a cabinet or rack. The cable management bracket includes an inner mounting rail and an outer mounting rail. The outer mounting rail is secured to the inner mounting rail by fasteners. The inner mounting rail has a top flange, first and second end flanges, a bottom flange, and a side surface. The outer mounting rail has a top flange, an end flange, a bottom flange, and a side surface. The side surfaces of the inner mounting rail and the outer mounting rail have a plurality of mounting features for securing bundling clips that receive a plurality of cables.

Universal expandable cable management bracket

A channel equalization enclosure equalizes the length of cable variance with customers' equipment in a data center. The channel equalization modules serve as a connection point between cable from a financial institution and patch cords connected to customer equipment. The channel equalization enclosure includes a housing and a plurality of channel equalization modules mounted in the housing. Each channel equalization module has a spool of bulk fiber for accommodating a specified fiber length to equalize a communication channel in the data center.
