A fiber optic cable spool is disclosed herein. The fiber optic cable spool may include a first radial flange located at a first axial end of the fiber optic cable spool, a second radial flange located at a second axial end of the fiber optic cable spool, and a drum that extends axially between the first and second radial flanges. The fiber optic cable spool may also include a storage compartment located within the drum. The first radial flange may define a first opening for accessing the storage compartment within the drum. The drum may have a circumferential drum surface that defines a second opening for accessing the storage compartment within the drum.

Fiber optic spool arrangement; and method

A packaging assembly for telecommunications modules comprises a plurality of telecommunications modules provided in a stacked arrangement in a first container, a plurality of telecommunications modules provided in a stacked arrangement in an adjacent second container, and a removable radius limiter mounted between the first and second containers for guiding all of the fiber optic cabling extending from the telecommunications modules with minimum bend radius protection.

Packaging assembly for telecommunications equipment

A spool is transitionable between an operable (i.e., cable ready) state and a stowed (i.e., return ready) state. In the operable state, the spool is configured to receive and hold a coil of cable. In the stowed state, the spool has a reduced three-dimensional footprint compared to the operable state, thereby facilitating storage and return of the spools. The spool can be releasably locked in the operable state. When the lock is released, the spool can be freely transitioned between both states to facilitate reuse of the spool.

Collapsible, re-useable spool

A fiber optic enclosure assembly is disclosed herein. The assembly includes a fiber optic enclosure defining connection locations, a fiber optic cable extending from the connection locations of the fiber optic enclosure, and a covering defining a first axial end and a second axial end, the covering defining a throughhole extending from the first axial end to the second axial end, the throughhole extending along a central longitudinal axis of the covering, the covering defining a first cavity for receiving the fiber optic enclosure. A port extends from the first cavity to an outer surface of the covering, wherein the fiber optic cable extending from the connection locations can extend from the first cavity to the outer surface of the covering for wrapping around the outer surface of the covering.

Fiber optic cable packaging arrangement

An assembly including a pallet, a carousel mounted on the pallet, a plurality of tray assemblies stacked one on top of the other on the carousel. Each of the tray assemblies include a tray body, at least one fiber optic adapter supported at a top side of the tray body and a first spool mounted beneath the tray body. The first spool has spaced-apart flanges and fiber optic cable wrapped about the first spool at a location between the spaced-apart flanges. At least some of the flanges of the first spools of adjacent tray assemblies are coupled together.
