Problems solved by technology

Thus, such control fixtures either force the fixture manufacturer to design, market and sell a large number of special bend radius control fixtures, which in turn necessitates the end user to stock a large number of such fixtures to meet demand, or Incorporating a bend radius control fixture into equipment for which it does not actually fit, resulting in inadequate or poor cable management
Inadequate cable management can result in poor cable signals or downtime for system diagnostics or repairing bad cables

Embodiment Construction

[0031] An embodiment of a bending radius control fixture 100 according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1-4 . In these drawings, FIG. 1 shows a main bend radius control member 200 , FIG. 2 shows a straight side panel member 300 , and FIG. 3 shows a horizontal bend radius control side panel member 400 . Various bend radius control fixtures 100 can be formed using individual three components 200, 300, and 400 or combinations of these three components. FIG. 4 shows an example of a combined bend radius control fixture formed by a combination of these components 200 , 300 and 400 . Modular bend radius control fixture 100 may be mounted on a cable management device bracket or frame such as ladder frame 500 shown in FIG. 5 . Fixture 100 may also be provided on a cable enclosure such as a fiber optic cable enclosure.

[0032] The main plate assembly 200 provides vertical bend radius control by providing an arcuate bend radius portion 210 havin...

Abstract

A reconfigurable modular bend radius control fixture system allows for customization of bend module sections to achieve a variety of configurations with only a minimal number of different parts. The system includes at least one main section having a curved surface with a predetermined radius that provides a first bend radius control surface and side walls, at least one straight side plate section removably mountable to the side walls of the main section, the side plate section having a side wall that extends beyond the curved surface when mounted, and at least one bend radius control side plate removably mountable to the side walls of the main section. The bend radius control side plate section forms a second bend radius control surface. These sections can be mounted in various configurations to form a bend radius control fixture that can be mounted to a mount member of a cable management system, such as a ladder rack. The fixture is particularly suited for assisting management of sensitive cabling, such as fiber optic cabling or category 5 and 6 cabling.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a bending radius control fixture for the guidance and control of electric cables. In particular, the present invention relates to a modular bend radius control fixture that can be easily changed into any of various assembly forms to accommodate wire management needs as wiring management needs change. The invention is particularly suitable for use in managing the wiring of telecommunication systems. Background technique [0002] In the telecommunications industry, cables are increasingly being used to provide data, voice, video or audio information as well as power. Such cables may include various combinations of traditional metal-based wiring, such as copper cables for distributing power and audio information, and type 5 or 6 cables or fiber optic cables to reduce crosstalk. These latter two cables are used to transmit large amounts of data, and they are sensitive to cable placement and orientation. Cable rack and box system...
