Definitions
- the invention relates generally to cable distribution enclosures and in particular to a cable distribution center that has a high cable density and provides easy access to cable adapters.
- the above-discussed and other drawbacks and deficiencies of the prior art are overcome or alleviated by the rack mountable cable distribution enclosure of the invention.
- the cable distribution enclosure provides a high-density fiber solution for terminating up to 144 fibers, all within a 4 RMS space on a 19" or 23" rack.
- the enclosure is made from high grade steel and both front and rear access doors are durable smoked polycarbonate. These front and rear doors utilize releasable hinges that can therefore be removed by activating the hinge release mechanism. Also, both of these doors are lockable by way of customer-supplied locks. Fiber entry is made available at both sides, at the front and rear of enclosure, and conveniently-located cable tie anchor points are provided for securing incoming cables.
- a sliding tray facilitates front and rear adapter access via a unique system of push-pull latches and brackets.
- the fibers are connected through the use of snap-in adapter plates.
- the 4 and 6-port adapter plates include molded-in icon pockets to assist in color coding and port identification.
- the mounting surface of the adapter plate is angled so as to minimize fiber bend radius and to also reduce the potential of eye damage by minimizing the chance of looking straight into the activated fibers while working around the cable distribution enclosure. These adapter plates are reversible to thus enable angling fiber cable to either the left or right.
- the cable distribution enclosure provides an effective system for distributing and managing up to 144 fibers within the same rack space that is normally utilized for a maximum of 72 fibers.
- There are additional features designed into the cable distribution enclosure which, when compared to other 72-port enclosures, facilitate the installation of the fiber, improve upon management of the fibers, and/or reduce the manufacturing cost.

- FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of the cable distribution enclosure, shown generally at 10.
- a front door 12 is in the open position.
- the front door 12 is mounted to the body of the cable distribution enclosure by releasable hinge 14.
- the releasable hinge 14 allows the front door 12 to be removed entirely during service but prevents the front door 12 from being inadvertently removed.
- the hinge 14 includes a built in spring mechanism that may be defeated to release the hinge 14 from the front door 12.
- a back door (not shown) is provided opposite the front door 12 with a similar defeatable hinge.
- a slot 16 is formed in the front door 12 which receives a hasp 18 provided on the top of the cable distribution enclosure 10.
- a label holder panel 20 provides an area for holding a plurality of labels that provide information regarding the cables in the cable distribution enclosure 10.
- a plurality of openings 22 are provided in the cable distribution enclosure 10 for allowing cables to enter and exit the cable distribution enclosure 10.
- the cable distribution enclosure 10 is used as a distribution center for large numbers of cables.
- a grommet 24 is placed within each opening 22 and is described in more detail below.
- the base of the cable distribution enclosure 10 includes a sliding tray 26 which carries an adapter plate bracket 28.
- the adapter plate bracket 28 receives a plurality of adapter plates. The details of these elements are described below.
- FIGURE 2 is a side view of the cable distribution enclosure 10 with the front door 12 open.
- the rear of the cable distribution enclosure 10 includes a hasp 18 allowing the back door (not shown) to be locked.
- the use of lockable front and rear doors provides added security at both ends of the cable distribution enclosure 10. The user needs only provide a standard padlock to secure the cable distribution enclosure 10 and thus the cost of achieving a secure enclosure is minimal.
- the opening 22 shown in FIGURE 2 includes a circular region 30 and a straight region 32 which intersects the circular region at an arc of the circular region 30. Cables are inserted into the opening through the straight region 32 and placed into the circular region 30.
- the circular region 30 is large enough to hold 144 fiber cables which is the maximum density of the cable distribution enclosure 10.
- the grommet 24 protects the cables from the metal edges of the circular opening 30 and is described in further detail below.
- FIGURE 3 is a perspective view of the cable distribution enclosure 10 with the front door 12 closed. As is shown, the hasp 18 extends beyond the front door 12 to allow for locking the cable distribution enclosure 10. When not locked, the front door 12 is held in place through conventional snap latch type connectors 34 at each corner of the door. The back door (not shown) is similar to the front door 12.
- FIGURE 4A is a side view of the closed cable distribution enclosure 10 shown in FIGURE 3.
- FIGURE 4B is a side view of the opening 22 without the grommet 24. A notch 44 is formed in the opening 22 for aligning the grommet 24.
- FIGURE 5A is a bottom view of the grommet 24.
- the grommet 24 has a lip 36 that is placed on the outside of the circular opening 30.
- a wall 42 extends away from the lip 36 at a right angle to the lip 36.
- Flexible latches 40 are provided on the wall 42 to allow the grommet 24 to be snapped into the circular opening 30.
- a protrusion 38 is aligned with a notch 44 shown in FIGURE 4B formed in the circular opening 30. This protrusion 38 aligns the opening in the grommet 24 with the straight opening 32.
- the grommet 24 is designed to be universal and fit into all openings i.e. incoming and outgoing.
- FIGURES 5B -5E are assorted views of the grommet 24 and are self explanatory.
- FIGURES 6A-6C are assorted views of the sliding tray 26 provided in the bottom of the cable distribution enclosure 10. As shown in the top view in FIGURE
- the sliding tray 26 includes a plurality of openings 48 for receiving wire management clips 46 (shown partially in FIGURE 4A).
- a cable tie down 56 is formed in the sliding tray 26.
- the sliding tray 26 includes a raised portion 58.
- the cable tie down 56 is formed through a pressing operation at the raised portion 58.
- the pressing operation forms a band of metal having an opening at the rear of the sliding tray 26.
- a cable tie can then be placed through the opening in the cable tie down 56.
- the placement of the cable tie down 56 in the center of the sliding tray 26 allows the sliding tray 26 to pulled forward or backward without stressing the incoming cable attached at the cable tie down 56.
- the cable tie down 56 retains the incoming cable out of the way of the coiled slack fibers, and does not interfere with the sliding tray 26.
- the openings 48 are arranged in circles. This allows slack cable entering from the rear of the cable distribution enclosure 10 to be coiled in a circular fashion in the wire management clips 46 that are inserted in the openings 48.
- a pair of tabs 62 are provided substantially parallel to the base of the sliding tray 26. Theses tabs 62 provide addition support for coiled cable.
- a series of holes 50 for mounting an adapter plate bracket are provided near the center of the sliding tray 26.
- a second series of openings 48 are provided at the front of the sliding tray 26 to hold additional wire management clips 46.
- the wire management clips 46 at the front of the tray are used to distribute cables exiting the cable distribution enclosure 10.
- Two holes 52 receive snap latch connectors that hold the label holder plate 20 to the sliding tray 26.
- a hole 54 is formed near the rear of the sliding tray 26 for mounting a splice tray.
- the section where the two fibers are joined is commonly placed in a splice tray.
- the splice tray is stored in a separate enclosure outside of the cable distribution enclosure.
- the cable distribution enclosure 10 of the present invention is designed so that the splice tray 60 may be attached to the sliding tray 26 and interfere only with a minimum number of wire management clips 46.
- the outline of the splice tray is shown as dotted line 60. This eliminates the need for a separate enclosure to contain the splice tray.
- the hole 54 may have a plastic nut pressed therein.
- FIGURE 6C is a side view of the sliding tray 26.
- FIGURES 7A-7C are assorted views of the label holder panel 20.
- the front face 70 of the label holder panel receives transparent pockets that hold labels that may be produced on a conventional printer.
- the transparent pockets (not shown) may be adhered to the label holder panel 20 through any conventional means such as adhesive tape.
- the label holder panel 20 includes two holes 68 (shown in FIGURE 7B), which are aligned with holes 52 in the sliding tray 26.
- a conventional snap latch connector couples the label holder panel 20 to the sliding tray 26. This allows the label holder panel 20 to be removed during service of the cable distribution enclosure 10.
- the label holder panel 20 includes an upper lip 64 and a lower lip 66.
- the lower lip 66 provides a base which is mounted to the sliding tray 26.
- the upper lip provides for cable management. In the event that a large number of cables are exiting the front of the cable distribution enclosure 10, it may be more convenient to place the wires in the area formed by the upper lip 64, the face 70 and the lower lip 66. This prevents the user from having to run a large number of cables through the wire management clips 46 located in holes 48 near the front of the sliding tray 26.
- FIGURES 8A-8C are assorted views of the adapter plate bracket 28.
- the adapter plate bracket 28 includes a plurality of interior recesses 72 and an exterior notch 74.
- FIGURE 8B is a view of the bottom of the adapter plate bracket 28 which includes a plurality of holes 78 that are aligned with holes 50 in the sliding tray
- FIGURE 8C is a side view of the adapter plate bracket 28.
- FIGURES 9 and 10 illustrate the latching mechanism used to allow the sliding tray 26 to be locked in the center of the cable distribution enclosure 10, pulled out the front or pulled out the back.
- the latching mechanism includes an L bracket 80 having a hole 84 and an intermediate bracket 82 having tabs 90, a first hole 86 and a second hole 88.
- the L bracket 80 is permanently attached to the top of the cable distribution enclosure 10.
- the rear surface of the L bracket 80 contacts the front surface of the intermediate bracket 82 and holes 84 and 86 are aligned.
- a snap- latch connector is placed through holes 84 and 86.
- the front surface of the intermediate bracket 82, below tabs 90 contacts the rear surface of adapter plate bracket 28.
- Holes 88 and 76 are aligned and a snap latch connector is placed through holes 76 and 88.
- the tabs 90 are positioned within the exterior notch 74.
- the adapter plate bracket 28 is locked in a central position within the cable distribution enclosure 10. If the user desires to pull the sliding tray 26 forward, the snap latch in holes 76 and 88 is removed and the sliding tray 26 may then move forward.
- the tabs 90 on the intermediate bracket 82 prevent the intermediate bracket 82 from rotating.
- the snap-latch is placed back in holes 76 and 88. To move the sliding tray 26 backwards, the snap-latch in holes 86 and 84 is removed. The sliding tray can then move towards the rear of the cable distribution enclosure 10.
- the tabs 90 contact the exterior notch 74 and prevent the intermediate bracket 82 from rotating.
- FIGURES 1 1 A-l IE are various views of an adapter plate 92 for use with the adapter plate bracket 28 shown in FIGURE 8 A.
- a conventional "six- pack" (six port adapter plate) is secured to a bracket in the enclosure by two snap-latch connectors. This requires that two holes be drilled or punched in to the six port adapter plate at the proper diameter and location to enable the plates to be held by the installer in a position such that the snap latches, which are preassembled in the plates at the factory, are aligned with holes formed in the bracket. Only then can the snap latches be pushed into place to retain the plates to the bracket.
- the drawback to the prior art is that holes must be formed in the bracket and separate pieces, i.e.
- the adapter plate 92 shown in FIGURES 1 1 A-l IE overcomes these drawbacks.
- the adapter plate 92 shown in FIGURE 1 1 A has a body portion 94 and latch portions 96.
- the latch portion 96 is a V shaped member having one end attached to the body portion 94.
- Towards the second end a groove 98 is formed adjacent to a ridge 100.
- a release tab 102 is formed at the end of the V shaped member that is not attached to the body portion.
- the adapter plate 92 is attached to the adapter plate bracket 28 by placing the grooves 98 in two of the interior recesses 72.
- the adapter plate 92 is snapped into the interior recesses 72 in the adapter plate bracket 28 by simply positioning the adapter plate 92 at the adapter plate bracket 28 face and pushing the adapter plate forward until it snaps into place within the adapter plate bracket 28 opening. Three is no need to align snap latches with partially concealed holes or activate (push in) multiple snap latches as described in above in the conventional system.
- the width of groove 98 is such that the adapter plate 92 fits within the interior recesses 72 in the adapter plate bracket 28.
- FIGURE 8A holds 12 adapter plates 92.
- the user applies force on one or both of the release tabs 102. Force on either release tab 102 towards the center of the adapter plate 92 allows the adapter plate 92 to be tilted away from and out of the adapter plate bracket 28.
- the adapter plate 92 is designed so that vertical motion along the major axis of the adapter plate 92 will not disengage the adapter plate 92 from the adapter plate bracket 28.
- a ridge 104 is formed under each latch portion 96. As the adapter plate 92 is moved up or down in the adapter plate bracket 28, the ridge 104 contacts the latching portion at approximately the back of groove 98. This prevents the adapter plate 92 from being moved a sufficient distance in the vertical axis to inadvertently disengage the adapter plate 92 from the adapter plate bracket 28.
- the adapter plate 92 is also self locating in the horizontal direction within the adapter plate bracket 28.
- the interior recesses 72 formed in the adapter plate bracket 28 receive the groove 98 formed in the latching portion 96.
- the vertical edges of the interior recess 72 prevents the adapter plate 92 from sliding to the left or right and thus affirmatively locates the adapter plate 92 in the horizontal direction.
- the adapter plate 92 has a mounting surface 106 having openings for receiving adapters.
- the mounting surface 106 is at an angle relative to the grooves 98.
- the groove 98 is parallel to the front face of the adapter plate bracket 28.
- the mounting surface 106 is angled relative to the face of the adapter plate bracket 28. This angle provides several benefits.
- the cable is then routed into wire management retainers and out of exit openings 22 formed in the front of the cable distribution enclosure 10. It is desirable to limit the bend radius of the fiber cable to 1.2" minimum so as to maintain optimized transmission of signals through the fiber core.
- the exit openings 22 at the front of the cable distribution enclosure 10 are in a plane orthogonal to the adapter plate bracket 28.
- the angled mounting surface 106 reduces the angle between the fibers exiting an adapter mounted to the adapter plate 92 and the exit openings 22 formed in the front of the cable distribution enclosure 10. This reduces bending of the fibers and prevents damage to the fibers.
- a second benefit of the angled mounting surface 106 is eye safety.
- a laser light source When a laser light source is utilized for signal transmission through the fiber core, it can be a safety hazard to look directly into the fiber.
- the angled mounting surface 106 directs the laser light away from the opening of the cable distribution enclosure 10 and thus reduces the likelihood that one will look directly into the laser light being emitted from the fiber mounted in the adapter plate 92.
- the adapter plate 92 is also reversible in that it may be placed in the adapter plate bracket 28 in either vertical orientation. This allows the adapter plate 92 to be oriented to the left or the right depending upon the angular relationship between the mounting surface 106 and the adapter plate bracket 28. If all the fibers must be routed to the left front opening 22 of the cable distribution enclosure 10, all the adapter plates 92 may be inserted with a left facing orientation. Of course, any percentage of the adapter plates 92 may be orient right and left given the routing requirements.
- the adapter plate 92 includes a plurality of openings 108 formed in the mounting surface 106.
- FIGURE 1 1 A shows three openings 108 for receiving duplex adapters, each carrying two fibers.
- the openings 108 may have different shapes and sizes depending upon the particular adapters to be mounted therein.
- cylindrical posts 1 10 are formed that provide multiple benefits when mounting adapters to the adapter plate 92.
- the method for securing a fiber adapter is via the use of 2 screws fed through clearance holes in the adapter flanges and threaded into 2 tapped holes in the mounting surface.
- the cylindrical posts 110 eliminate the need for screws and costly tapped holes.
- the post 1 10 is sized so that it fits through a hole formed in the flange of an adapter and the post length is greater than the flange thickness.
- the posts 110 may be used with a variety of adapters, and is particularly useful for adapters that do not include mounting clips.
- Certain adapters include a metal mounting clip which is designed to mount the adapter to a panel opening. These adapters, however, have a tendency to rock within the panel opening.
- the posts 110 serve to eliminate or greatly reduce the rocking action of the clips caused by clearance between the clip and the panel.
- the posts 1 once within the holes in the flange of the adapter, limit the adapter rocking because of restriction provided by the presence and fit of the posts 1 10. It is understood that the posts 110 may be other than cylindrically shaped, as long as the posts 1 10 fit through flange holes in the adapter.
- the adapter plate 92 also includes recessed pockets 1 12, integral to the adapter plate 92, that accommodate snap-fit, removable, color-coded tabs. Theses tabs are standardized and are available in a variety of colors and include an icon on one or both sides (such as phone, computer, etc.).
- the recessed pockets 1 12 enable full color coding and/or function identification for each port on a 6-port adapter plate 92.
- FIGURE 11 A shows openings 108 accommodate 3 duplex adapters or 6 fiber ports.
- the adapter plate 92 holds 6 duplex adapters for a total of 12 fiber ports.
- the adapter plate bracket 28 can hold 12 adapter plates 92 and thus the total density for the cable distribution enclosure 10 is 144 fibers.
- the cable distribution enclosure of the present invention provides a high density cable distribution enclosure.
- the sliding tray allows access to the front or back of an adapter plate bracket where a plurality of adapter plates are mounted.
- the adapter plates have a latching mechanism on each end that allows for easy installation to and removal from the adapter plate bracket. An angled mounting surface on the adapter plate reduces the bend needed to route the fiber out of the cable distribution enclosure.
