Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing fiber splice and distribution modules have relatively simple functions, limiting their ability to perform complex adapter distributions and connections between external optical cables and optical devices.
Innovation Solution
A fiber splice and distribution module with a detachable movable plate and adapter mounting holes, allowing for the use of branch jumpers to connect different types of adapters and enabling splicing and connection functions, along with a compact frame design that accommodates multiple modules, increasing port density.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a traditional fiber splice and distribution module is used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the functional capabilities are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The module is divided into a housing and a detachable movable plate. The movable plate can be removed to expose a cable opening, allowing the module to adapt between different functional configurations - when attached it provides adapter distribution functionality, when detached it enables direct cable access and splicing functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The movable plate transitions from a static structure to a dynamic component that can be detached and reattached. This dynamic feature allows the module to change its functional state between adapter distribution mode and cable splicing mode, enhancing versatility without permanently increasing structural complexity.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple adapters are accommodated in each module, then port density increases, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The module is designed to perform multiple functions: it can accommodate multiple adapters for distribution purposes, and when the movable plate is detached, it can also serve as a splicing location. This multi-functionality increases the effective port density without requiring separate dedicated modules for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The adapter distribution function and cable splicing function are merged into a single module by using the movable plate mechanism. The same housing and adapter interfaces serve both purposes depending on whether the movable plate is attached or detached, reducing the total number of modules needed.

AI summary
The present invention provides a fiber splice and distribution module and a fiber splice and distribution frame, and relates to the field of communications technologies. The fiber splice and distribution module includes: a housing and a splice tray connected to the housing, where multiple first adapters are provided at one end of the housing; a movable plate is provided at the other end of the housing, an adapter mounting hole is provided on the movable plate, the adapter mounting hole is configured to mount a second adapter, and the movable plate is detachably connected to the housing. When the movable plate is connected to the housing of the fiber splice and distribution module, distribution may be performed for different types of adapters by using a branch jumper. When the movable plate is detached, the pigtail may be spliced to an external optical cable. The fiber splice and distribution module has relatively rich functions.
