Benefits of technology
The present invention provides an optical fiber module rack system that allows quick mounting and dismounting of optical fiber storage boxes without tools. The system consists of a rack with accommodation chambers and sliding grooves, and optical fiber storage boxes with hook blocks and elastic retainer strips for easy engagement and disengagement with the sliding grooves. The system also meets 1RU rack specifications for the connection of a large amount of optical fiber connectors, allowing installation of a large amount of optical fiber connectors at a relatively higher density.
Problems solved by technology
Mounting MPO optical fiber modules in a rack or dismounting the MPO optical fiber modules from the rack in this manner requires much labor and time, thereby increasing the cost.
Further, a data center or computer room has a large number of rack mount optical fiber distribution panels, Therefore, it is desirable to provide an optical fiber module rack system, which requires less installation space, facilitates mounting and dismounting of MPO optical fiber modules for convenient replacement and maintenance, and significantly saves installation labor and time.
