Fiber demarcation box for layering and storing coiled fiber optic cabling

摘要

A fiber demarcation box includes a rear panel extending along a plane in height and width directions that are perpendicular to one another. Outer sidewalls extend away from a perimeter of the rear panel in a depth direction that is perpendicular to the height and width directions. A bulkhead that adjoins the rear panel and the outer sidewalls 104 extends between opposite facing ones of the outer sidewalls in the height direction so as to divide the fiber demarcation box into first and second interior volumes. A cable plane divider in the first interior volume adjacent to the bulkhead includes a first planar section that extends away from the bulkhead in the width direction and is spaced apart from the rear panel in the depth direction.

1. An assembly for storing a plurality of spliced fiber optic cables, the assembly comprising:
a fiber demarcation box, comprising: a rear panel; outer sidewalls extending away from a perimeter of the rear panel in a depth direction of the fiber demarcation box, the depth direction being perpendicular to the rear panel; a bulkhead extending between opposite facing ones of the outer sidewalk and away from the rear panel in the depth direction so as to divide the fiber demarcation box into first and second interior volumes; and a cable plane divider in the first interior volume adjacent to the bulkhead and comprising a first planar section extending away from the bulkhead in a direction parallel to the rear panel; a plurality of pigtail cable receptacles arranged in the bulkhead such that the first planar section of the cable plane divider is between the pigtail cable receptacles and the rear panel in the depth direction, each of the pigtail cable receptacles being dimensioned to receive an end connector of a fiber optic cable; a coil of loose-buffer-tube fiber optic cables in the first interior volume being constrained between the rear panel and the first planar section of the cable plane divider; and a plurality of tight-buffer fiber optic cables in the first interior volume positioned above the coil of loose-buffer-tube fiber optic cables with respect to the rear panel, and having end connectors coupled to the pigtail cable receptacles,
wherein the cable plane divider separates the tight-buffer fiber optic cables from the coil of loose-buffer-tube fiber optic cables in the depth direction.
