Optical Fiber Management Bridge

摘要

An improved optical fiber management bridge 100 can comprise an optical hinge 152 for an electronics communications device 112 which is especially useful for a broadband network 104. The electronics communications device can have a housing 120 for enclosing an electronics package 114 comprising at least one optical module 118 and optical fibers 108. The optical bridge can have optical surfaces 156 for supporting portions of the optical fibers 108 which are routed and extend between the top 128 and base 122 of the housing 120. The optical bridge can have an intermediate portion 163 for accommodating safe transition of the optical fibers 108 over the hinge line 129 of the housing 120.
