Problems solved by technology

[0003] Fiber organizers of the type described above are no longer optimal for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) applications, especially with the number of individual fiber cables such as pigtail cables in patch panels or increase in customer / subscriber drop cables in network termination boxes, the total number of optical fibers in the cable or cable element is less than in more traditional cable applications

Embodiment Construction

[0035] see figure 1 , the fiber storage module 10 includes a generally rectangular housing 12 and a drawer 14 on which a fiber organizer assembly 16 is mounted. Module 10 may comprise portions of a fiber optic distribution frame or rack well known in the art for managing fiber optic cables, fibers, and connections. The drawers are installed on the slides and on the figure 1 is shown fully extended to allow access to the fiber organizer assembly 16 to be opened.

[0036] The module 10 is especially suitable for use with pre-installed optical fibers, that is to say cables / fibres are pre-installed at the factory so that the module 10 can be easily installed so that fiber optic connections can be made in a relatively simple manner, e.g. when new connections are required , the breakout cable can be easily connected to the pre-installed optical fiber. For example, the module 10 may be installed on a telecommunications exchange building, on a subscriber's premises, or in a subscri...

Abstract

The invention provides an optical fibre organiser (16) comprising at least one optical fibre storage tray (18), a support (20) for supporting the storage tray(s) and at least one cable termination retention means (30, 32) for securing incoming / outgoing cable(s) (3a) having at least one optical fibre (38) and at least one flexible tensile strength member (36) for engagement with the said retention means for axial strain relief of the cable. The or each cable termination retention means is provided on a respective fibre storage tray or on the support, or fixed in relation thereto, adjacent the respective storage tray and is capable of receiving and retaining an end of a respective cable so that optical fibre(s) from incoming / outgoing cable(s) are capable of being fed directly to / from the respective fibre storage means. In preferred embodiments the cable retention means are integrally formed on either the trays or the support and are aligned such that the fibres are fed to or from the trays substantially aligned with the hinge axis of their respective tray.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the management of optical fiber connections, in particular to an optical fiber cable organizer and a splice holder. Background technique [0002] A known type of fiber organizer is described in EP 0,883,828 which discloses a modular system of fiber storage trays mounted on one or more The stripping module is separate from the storage tray, but is also mounted on a support plate at one end of the fiber optic splice closure. A guide module having a plurality of curved wall protrusions between which the optical fiber can be guided is provided between the stripping module and the fiber storage tray. The fiber optic cables are stripped in the stripping module into separate individual mini-ducts that may contain about a dozen optical fibers stored and / or spliced ​​in organizer boxes. Each mini-duct typically includes elongated tensile strength members to absorb any applied tensile tension that, if applied to the optical fiber, coul...
