PANEL FOR MANAGING JUMPER STORAGE

摘要

A panel for managing the storage of fiber optic cable jumpers is disclosed. The panel fits within a conventional storage rack. The panel has a box-like frame with a cavity on its back side. The panel also has a front storage hub and a rear storage hub. The rear hub extends out of the cavity and is coaxial with the front hub. A port is located in the frame adjacent to the hubs. An excess length of a fiber optic cable jumper may be stored by coiling it on either or both of the hubs, depending upon the need and the length of the jumper. The jumper may be inserted through the port in either direction and joined to a fiber optic cable on each end.
