Adapter retaining systems

摘要

An adapter retaining system comprises an adapter, an adapter pack, and a retaining base. The retaining base allows the adapter pack to slide in a direction substantially parallel to a surface of the retaining base and prevents the adapter pack from moving in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface. In another embodiment, an adapter retaining system comprises an adapter, an adapter pack, and an adapter plate. The adapter pack rotates about an axis substantially perpendicular to a surface of the adapter plate. In another embodiment, an adapter retaining system comprises an adapter, an adapter pack, and an adapter plate having a curved adapter post. The adapter pack slidably engages the adapter post. In another embodiment, an adapter retaining system comprises an adapter, and an adapter plate having a pair of adapter posts. The adapter posts directly receive the adapter.

主权项

1. An adapter retaining system comprising:
an adapter for securing a connection between a fiber of an input fiber cable and a fiber of an output fiber cable; an adapter pack that houses the adapter; and a retaining base having a surface, wherein the retaining base is configured to allow the adapter pack to slide in a direction substantially parallel to the surface of the retaining base and to prevent the adapter pack from moving in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the retaining base, wherein the retaining base defines a channel, and wherein the adapter pack includes a flange configured to be received within the channel to form a sliding interface between the retaining base and the adapter pack.
