FIBER OPTIC ADAPTER MODULE AND TRAY

摘要

A fiber optic adapter module and tray. The fiber optic adapter module supports fiber optic adapters for fiber optic connections. The fiber optic adapter module may be included on an extendible tray portion of a fiber optic equipment tray and selectively configured to be tilted when extended for providing enhanced access to the fiber optic adapter module. In one embodiment, an adapter module panel of the fiber optic adapter module that supports fiber optic adapters contains at least two forward facing panel surfaces angled to one another to provide more surface area for supporting a higher density of fiber optic adapters and/or for neat routing and organizing of fiber optic connections. One or more fourth flared panel surfaces may also be included on an end(s) of the adapter module panel to provide sufficient interior space for fiber optic connections adjacent or proximate to sides of the fiber optic equipment tray.

主权项

1. A fiber optic adapter module tray, comprising:
at least one fixed receiver; an extendible tray coupled to the at least one fixed receiver and selectively extendible from an interior position within the at least one fixed receiver to an exterior position generally external to the at least one fixed receiver; wherein the extendible tray further includes a pivot mechanism configured to selectively tilt the extendible tray about a pivot plane at a tilt angle relative to the at least one fixed receiver; and a fiber optic adapter module coupled to the extendible tray, wherein the fiber optic adapter module comprises:
a housing including a cover spanning a first and second side walls and an adapter module panel supporting a plurality of fiber optic adapters; andwherein the adapter module panel comprises a first and second forward facing surfaces angled to one another.
