Terminal enclosure with extractable fiber organizer tray
View Patent ↗A terminal enclosure ( 1 ) for optical fibers for communication comprising a housing, including a base ( 2 ) and a cover, and an extractable fiber organizer tray ( 11 ), that is disposable in the housing having a first and a second side. The extractable fiber organizer tray comprises a splicing portion ( 12 ), a fiber connector mounting portion ( 28 ) and portions for storing an entering jacketed cable ( 14 ) as well as the fibers ( 13 ) of the stripped portion of the cable ( 6 ).
1. A terminal enclosure for optical fibers for communications, comprising:
a housing including a base, a cover and
an extractable fiber organizer tray disposable in the housing having a first side and an opposite second side,
wherein the extractable fiber organizer tray comprises on its first side a splicing portion and portions for storing an entering jacketed cable as well as the fibers of a stripped portion of the cable and on its second side a fiber connector mounting portion, wherein the cover provides at least two parts, a first part that is fixed to the base after mounting the base and the organizer tray and a second, detachable part for providing access to the enclosure.
2. Terminal enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein the extractable fiber organizer tray comprises an opening formed in the tray that permits passage of fibers from one side of the tray to the other side.
3. Terminal enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein the extractable fiber organizer tray provides a cable guide that routes the jacketed cable entering the terminal enclosure.
4. Terminal enclosure according to claim 3 , wherein the cable guide is positioned along the outer edge of the first side of the extractable fiber organizer tray.
5. Terminal enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein the extractable fiber organizer tray provides several fiber guides for guiding fibers of the stripped portion of the cable.
6. Terminal enclosure according to claim 5 , wherein the fiber guides are positioned inside of the cable guides.
7. Terminal enclosure according to claim 5 , wherein the cable guides are used for guiding fibers as well as cables.
8. Terminal enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein the extractable fiber organizer tray comprises a set of mounting arms for securing splices formed between optical fiber pigtails and the fibers.
9. Terminal enclosure according to claim 8 , wherein the mounting arms for splices are arranged inside of the cable guides.
10. Terminal enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein the base further comprises mounting means for mounting the enclosure on a rail.
11. Terminal enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein the base comprises fixing means for fixing the extractable fiber organizer tray inside the enclosure.
12. Terminal enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein the base further comprises breakout portions for the cable entering the enclosure.
13. Terminal enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein the detachable part of the cover is arranged near or over the connector mounting portion of the extractable fiber organizer tray.
14. A terminal enclosure for optical fibers for communications, comprising:
a housing including a base, a cover and
an extractable fiber organizer tray disposable in the housing having a first side and an opposite second side,
wherein the extractable fiber organizer tray comprises on its first side a splicing portion and portions for storing an entering jacketed cable as well as the fibers of a stripped portion of the cable and on its second side a fiber connector mounting portion wherein the extractable fiber organizer tray comprises a set of mounting arms for securing splices formed between optical fiber pigtails and the fibers and wherein the mounting arms for splices are arranged inside of the cable guides.
15. Terminal enclosure according to claim 14 , wherein the extractable fiber organizer tray comprises an opening formed in the tray that permits passage of fibers from one side of the tray to the other side.
16. Terminal enclosure according to claim 14 , wherein the extractable fiber organizer tray provides a cable guide that routes the jacketed cable entering the terminal enclosure.
17. Terminal enclosure according to claim 14 , wherein the extractable fiber organizer tray provides several fiber guides for guiding fibers of the stripped portion of the cable.
18. Terminal enclosure according to claim 14 , wherein the base further comprises mounting means for mounting the enclosure on a rail.
19. Terminal enclosure according to claim 14 , wherein the base comprises fixing means for fixing the extractable fiber organizer tray inside the enclosure.
20. Terminal enclosure according to claim 14 , wherein the base further comprises breakout portions for the cable entering the enclosure.
