Telecommunications connection cabinet
A telecommunications cabinet includes a cabinet housing; a fiber optic splitter; a plurality of spools disposed on a cable management surface; a panel oriented at a fixed angle relative to the access opening so that the panel extends laterally and rearwardly between the access opening and the cable management surface; and a plurality of adapters disposed on the panel.
1. A telecommunications cabinet comprising:
a cabinet housing defining an interior, the cabinet housing having an access opening and a door for opening and closing the access opening;
a vertical stack of adapter modules positioned within the interior of the cabinet housing, each of the adapter modules including a plurality of fiber optic adapters at a front of the adapter module, the fiber optic adapters including front ports that are mateable with fiber optic connectors;
a connector storage structure positioned within the interior of the cabinet housing, the connector storage structure including a vertical stack of connector holder modules, each of the connector holder modules including connector holders for holding and storing the fiber optic connectors, the connector holders being configured differently than the fiber optic adapters;
fiber optic cords having ends terminated by the fiber optic connectors, wherein each of the fiber optic connectors is selectively inserted into one of the front ports of the fiber optic adapters or stored at the connector storage structure;
at least one optical splitter positioned within the interior of the cabinet; and
at least one bend radius protector positioned within the interior of the cabinet housing for routing at least a portion of at least one of the fiber optic cords.
2. The telecommunications cabinet of claim 1 , wherein the connector holders receive ferrules of the fiber optic connectors.
3. The telecommunications cabinet of claim 1 , wherein each of the connector holder modules includes at least one row of connector holders.
4. The telecommunications cabinet of claim 1 , wherein the connector storage structure is a connector storage module that mounts to a panel.
5. The telecommunications cabinet of claim 1 , wherein each of the connector holders includes a main housing and an inner housing mounted within the main housing.
6. The telecommunications cabinet of claim 1 , wherein the adapter modules are mounted to a frame.
7. The telecommunications cabinet of claim 1 , wherein each of the fiber optic connectors defines a central axis, and wherein the fiber optic connectors are stored such that each of the central axes is in a generally horizontal orientation.
8. The telecommunications cabinet of claim 1 , wherein the fiber optic connectors are SC connectors.
9. The telecommunications cabinet of claim 1 , wherein the at least one optical splitter is configured to combine signals from at least some of the fiber cords.
10. The telecommunications cabinet of claim 1 , comprising a plurality of the bend radius protectors arranged in a vertical array.
11. The telecommunications cabinet of claim 10 , wherein at least some of the bend radius protectors are arranged beside the vertical stack of adapter modules.
12. The telecommunications cabinet of claim 10 , wherein at least some of the bend radius protectors are arranged in a vertical array beside the vertical stack of connector holder modules.
13. The telecommunications cabinet of claim 1 , further comprising at least one spool positioned within the interior of the cabinet for routing at least a portion of at least one of the fiber optic cords.
14. The telecommunications cabinet of claim 13 , comprising a plurality of the spools arranged in a vertical array.
15. The telecommunications cabinet of claim 14 , wherein at least some of spools are positioned beside the vertical stack of adapter modules.
16. The telecommunications cabinet of claim 14 , wherein at least some of spools are positioned beside the vertical stack of connector holder modules.
17. The telecommunications cabinet of claim 1 , comprising a plurality of the optical splitters, and wherein each of the adapter modules includes one of the optical splitters.
18. The telecommunications cabinet of claim 17 , wherein each of the optical splitters is configured to combine signals from at least some of the fiber cords.
