Fiber Optic Component Holders and Enclosures and Methods Including Same

摘要

A method for securing a fiber optic component includes: providing a holding medium having a tack and mounted on a substrate; and placing the fiber optic component in intimate contact with the holding medium to thereby secure the fiber optic component to the substrate. The tack of the holding medium releasably bonds the fiber optic component to the holding medium and the holding medium retains its tack upon removal of the fiber optic component to permit re-placement of the fiber optic component or placement of a further fiber optic component on the holding medium to secure said fiber optic component or further fiber optic component to the substrate.

1. A fiber optic component holder for securing a fiber optic component, the fiber optic component holder comprising:
a substrate to support the fiber optic component; and a holding medium mounted on the substrate, the holding medium having a contacting surface, the contacting surface having a tack, wherein the tack of the contacting surface releasably bonds the fiber optic component to the contacting surface, and wherein upon removal of the fiber optic component from the contacting surface, the contacting surface retains its tack and remains mounted on the substrate to permit re-placement of the same or a different fiber optic component on the contacting surface, wherein the tack of the contacting surface releasably bonds the re-placed same or different fiber optic component to the contacting surface.
