OPTICAL CABLE SPLICE CASSETTES WITH DEVICE HOLDER

摘要

Splice cassettes for optical cables and optical devices may include a tray base having a tray top surface. A tray center portion may be defined on the tray top surface inside a plurality of tray cable securing members arranged around a center-portion periphery of the tray center portion with a tray proximal zone and a tray distal zone. A device holder may be removably and hingedly attached to the tray base. An inner surface of the holder may have a holder proximal zone in which at least one device securing member may be disposed and configured to secure an optical device to the inner surface. When the device holder is closed and an optical device is secured in the at least one device securing member of the device holder, the holder distal zone may overlie the tray distal zone and the optical device may overlie the tray proximal zone.

1. A splice cassette for optical cables and optical devices, the splice cassette comprising:
a tray base having a tray top surface; a tray center portion defined on the tray top surface inside a plurality of tray cable securing members arranged around a center-portion periphery of the tray center portion, the tray center portion having a tray proximal zone and a tray distal zone defined thereon; a device holder removably and hingedly attached to the tray base and having a holder-closed position and a holder-open position, the device holder comprising: a holder inner surface having a holder proximal zone and a holder distal zone defined thereon; a plurality of holder cable securing members arranged around a holder periphery of the device holder; at least one device securing member disposed in the holder proximal zone and configured to secure an optical device to the holder inner surface, wherein when the device holder is in the holder-closed position and an optical device is secured in the at least one device securing member of the device holder, the holder distal zone overlies the tray distal zone and the optical device overlies the tray proximal zone.
