Module interface for telecommunications closure
A telecommunications closure including a closure body defining an interior. An organizer is located within the interior of the closure body. The organizer including a base, a cable seal, a cable management device, and a mounting interface; wherein the mounting interface includes a mating interface including a plurality of mating shapes which interface with one another. The mating shapes include at least one lower protrusion and a recess, wherein the recess is larger than the lower protrusion, and at least one mounting tab. The mating shapes can include V-shapes.
1 . A mounting interface comprising:
a cable management device and a mating device;
wherein the cable management device includes a base portion;
a plurality of fiber optic adapters mounted to an upper surface of the base portion for receiving mating connectors on the upper surface of the base portion along an axial direction;
a plurality of pairs of oppositely facing V-shaped protrusions on a lower surface of the base portion, each pair of V-shaped protrusions of the plurality of pairs of oppositely facing V-shaped protrusions in axial alignment and parallel to the axial direction;
a plurality of pairs of oppositely facing V-shaped recesses on an upper surface of the mating device for mating with the plurality of pairs of oppositely facing V-shaped protrusions, each pair of V-shaped recesses of the plurality of pairs of oppositely facing V-shaped recesses in axial alignment and parallel to the axial direction;
wherein each pair of V-shaped protrusions of the plurality of pairs of oppositely facing V-shaped protrusions engages with one of the pairs of V-shaped recesses of the plurality of pairs of oppositely facing V-shaped recesses, wherein relative movement of the cable management device and the mating device in the axial direction is prevented by the engagement of the pairs of V-shaped protrusions and corresponding pairs of V-shaped recesses;
a plurality of flexible tabs on the cable management device which interlock with a plurality of mating shoulders on the mating device; and
a plurality of clips on the cable management device which interlock with a plurality of mating slots on the mating device;
wherein engagement of the plurality of flexible tabs on the cable management device with the plurality of mating shoulders on the mating device, and engagement of the plurality of clips on the cable management device with the plurality of mating slots on the mating device prevents relative movement of the cable management device and the mating device in a direction transverse to the axial direction.
