110-type wiring blocks are modularized with means for connecting a plurality of them to enable a manufacturer to produce a single size (e.g., 100 connector terminals) and yet meet all needs. Several 110 wiring block modules are locked together with U-shaped locking devices to provide a secure interlock that retains structural stability during wiring with IDC connectors and over long periods of use.

A stand-off wire management bracket and system having a back panel, side walls extending from the back panel and attachment brackets pivotally connected to the side walls for pivotal attachment of one or more wire panels. The wire panel is connected across the attachment brackets which rotate about a common axis substantially parallel to the back panel, providing access to the rear portion of the wire panel without requiring disconnection of all connecting points, and without requiring excess clearance, or excess slack in cables. The side panels also include stops to limit the rotation of the attachment brackets and any wire panel attached thereto.

Bottom pivot wallmount bracket and wire management system

A hinged wire management panel assembly with two panels hingedly connected by a plurality of hooks integrally-formed in one panel (a wire management panel) which engage slots formed in a second panel (a patch panel.) The hooks have free ends with straight portions which engage the slots when the two panels are mounted to a common rack thereby forming the hinge connection. The hooks also have curved portions which allow the patch panel to slide along the hooks and simultaneously rotate outward when the patch panel is disconnected from the rack. The wire management panel includes wire management brackets which limit the rotation of the patch panel when the patch panel is horizontal.

Hinged wire management panel assembly

An RJ-type connector outlet module which provides protected access to the front of a module and permits straight-on solderless connections to the back. The module has a frame with a channel for receiving an RJ-type connector plug wherein the channel is recessed and obliquely oriented with respect to the front face of the frame. A connector jack within the channel is configured to attach to a planar printed circuit board attached to the rear surface of the frame such that an IDC terminal strip can be mounted to permit straight-on insertion of wires.

An adjustable fiber storage plate for optical or composite fibers has a commodious open plate design that comprises a base divided into two sections releasably held together; a cylindrical ring extending radially outward from the base, with half the ring extending from one section and half from the other, wherein, when the sections are together, the ring forms a circle having a radius at least equal to the minimum bend radius for an optical fiber; and at least one fiber fastening means in each section, attached to the ring and to the base plate so that a fiber can be held in position around the ring and adjacent to the base. The sections can be mounted together so that the fiber is stored in a circular configuration, or apart, such that the fiber is stored in an oval configuration. Placement of the sections at different distances varies the storage capacity of the plate. Typical plates have, per section, two fastening means that are latching clips extending radially outward from and hinged to the ring; the clips each have an arm that engages with a catch and a catch assist member on the base to secure the fibers.

A snap-in designation strip and a modular information management outlet assembly including the snap-in designation strip facilitate the simple and accurate designation of the source of each outlet. The snap-in designation strip comprises a rectangular base, top and bottom rails each including a groove for receiving a label, and an attachment tab extending from the back surface of the base. The assembly includes an outlet module having at least one connector located on a front face, a slot above the connector, and a designation strip wherein the attachment tab is inserted into the slot.
