In order to provide interconnection between points separated at a distance, it is usually necessary to connect the fibers through a connector. For example, fiber optic connectors are typically used in part to interconnect users with telecommunications carriers, such as e-service providers. Two common types of fiber optic connectors are fusion splice connectors and mechanical connectors, both of which are well known in the art of fiber optic technology. In order to maintain transmission quality over the connected lines, the fiber optic connectors are secured in a manner such as on the optical device holder to prevent oscillation, strain and/or damage to the connectors. The optical device holder can also be used as an organization to set up and identify fiber optic connectors during installation and maintenance of the fiber optic network. Conventional optical device holders can be made of metal, foam, rubber or plastic material that can be secured in a connection pallet or in a wiring board in a fiber enclosure. As the optical telecommunications network arrives closer to the end user, passive optical devices are removed from the central office and large fiber distribution hubs, and access to the network 'in the network' saves space and ease of installation is an important factor. 5 200933226 In a traditional distributed passive optical network (p〇N) for building network fibres, 'passive optics are placed in modular form in telecommunications enclosures and small distribution units, which then One or more of the output fibers that are fused or mechanically connected to the distribution cable on the input of the device, or one or more of the output or feeder contacts on the output side of the device. This configuration eliminates the need for a module containing passive optics, and requires that the closure or dispensing unit include at least one connection pallet. Therefore, a need exists for a method of placing a passive device in a closure or distribution box optics holder to secure a higher density fiber optic connector.

Each arm 426 has a projection 427 at its end for mating with a mechanical connector to clamp the mechanical connector in the connector channel 422C. During the installation of the fiber optic connector 450C, the arms are slightly deformed and spring back when the connector is fully installed in the connector channel. The projection 427 on the end of each arm 426 mates with the top surface 451 of the 15 mechanical connector to transmit through the base 410 of the opposing optical device holder 400 and the elevation along the edge of the connector channel 422C. The high wall 425 depresses the connector while holding the connector in the connector channel 422C. A typical method of clamping a mechanical connector associated with connector channel 422D is illustrated in Figures 4A through 4C. Two posts 428 are located at each end of the connector channel 422D. Each column has barbs (not shown) at the top of each column. The barbs are configured to mate with recesses 453 or other surface features on connector 450D to secure the connectors between opposing posts 428 on each end of connector channel 422D. 13 200933226 5 ❹ 10 15 The device channel 432 may be defined by a spacer 431 along one longitudinal side of the device channel and a plurality of spaced relative device holders 430 along the other longitudinal side of the device channel. Each device channel can hold a passive and/or active optical device. The device holder can be constructed of a resilient material. Each device holder 430 includes a flange 435 formed thereon and suspends the flange over the device channel. The flanges are configured to cooperate with the optical device when the optical device is embedded in the device channel to safely hold the optical device in place. 4D and 4B show an embodiment of the optical device holder 400' of the optical device holder 4〇0 as shown in Figs. 4A to 4C. The exemplary optical device holder 400' can include at least one device channel 432' disposed in the center of the optical device holder, and a plurality of fusion connector channels 422Ε-Η disposed on each side of the device channel. In a typical embodiment of the optical device holder 400' as shown in Figures 4D and 4A, separate connector channels are placed on the first surface 402 of the base 410 to secure the various optical connectors. The optical connector holder 400 has a fusion connector channel 422A, 422F similar to the fusion connector channel 422A, 422A of the optical device holder 4A shown in Figs. 4A and 4B. The mechanical connector channel 422G of the optical device holder 400' is similar to the mechanical connector channel 422D of the optical device holder 400 as shown in Figures 4A and 4B. The mechanical connector channel 422A includes a platform 429 for slightly lifting the mechanical connector 450C and a plurality of spaced opposing arms 426. The three arms 426 that hold the mechanical connector 450C are shown in the circle 4D, although a different number of arms' can be employed and still be considered to fall within the scope of the present invention. Each arm 426 20 200933226 has a projection 427 at its end for mating with a mechanical connector to clamp the mechanical connector in the connector channel 422C. In the alternative of installing the fiber optic connector 450C, the arm is slightly deformed, and when the connector is fully installed in the connector channel, the arm bounces back. A projection 5 427 on the end of each arm 426 mates with a top surface 451 of the mechanical fastener to pass the connector through the base 410 of the opposing optical device holder 400', holding the connector in the connector In channel 422C. The device channel 432' can be defined by a perimeter 433 that is generally © the closure channel 432'' and that is slightly larger in shape than the device designated for clamping. The perimeter 433 can include a plurality of spaced opposing device holders 430' extending from the fence generally perpendicular to the optical device holder 400'. Each of the optical device holders can have a flange 435 formed thereon and suspend the flange over the device channel. These flanges are configured to cooperate with the optical device 15 when the optical device is embedded in the device channel to securely hold the optical device in place. Typically the optical device holder herein can be placed in a connection stack, fiber distribution unit or optical network termination to facilitate interconnection of the fiber from the distribution cable to the plurality of drop cables. Figure 5 shows an exemplary square 20 method of employing the optical device holder 400 of Figure 4A with a conventional optical device holder 500 for connecting optical fibers from a distribution cable to eight separate fibers. Downline cable. The conventional optical device holder 500 insert may be, for example, a 3Mtm FIBRLOKtm connector insert (Splice Inserts) commercially available from 3M Company, St. Paul, MN USA, USA. FL; 3Mtm 25 FIBRLOKTM MULTIFIBRLOKTM SPLICE INSERTS 2521-MF; 15 200933226 and 3Mtm FUSION SPLICE INSERT 2-PACK 2521-F. The background structure of the connection pallet, fiber distribution unit or optical network termination has been omitted to facilitate the display of the available fiber connections. 5 ❹ 10 15 ❹ Figure 5 shows a beam splitter device 440 disposed in the optical device channel of the optical device holder 400, the optical device including an input fiber 442, a 1x8 beam splitter 444, and eight independent output fibers 446A-446H. The ribbon fiber leads the optical cable 446. Mechanical fiber optic connector 450C can be used to connect fiber 160 from a distribution cable or feeder cable to input fiber 442 of optical device 440. The output fibers 446A-446H in the ribbon fiber take-up cable 446 are independent and routed to the optical device holder insert 500, which has eight additional features disposed therein. Mechanical connectors 552A-552H. These connectors 552A-552H connect the output fibers 446A-446H to the fiber drop cable 57A-570H or other fiber optic cable. The output component can be used to manage the output fiber. The output fiber in the ribbon cable can be connected to the drop cable through a multi-fiber splice connector or through a multi-fiber mechanical connector. An advantage of the fiber optic line is that it allows the optical device to be mounted in the same connector as the connector used to connect the optical device from the distribution cable to the fiber and the connector used to connect the fiber to the optical device to the lower cable or pigtail. In the connection stack, the drop cable or tail fiber is connected to an end user or other fiber. In installations where the ribbon cable is present in a distribution cable, a drop cable, or as part of an optical device, it may be advantageous to use an output member to separate the fibers in the ribbon cable. An example of an exemplary output component 700 is shown in detail in FIG. 7 'one of the 20 200933226 connector channels 422 that the output component 7 can be embedded in the optical device holder 400, 400. The output member 700 includes a base 702 and a detachable cover 701' in which a recess 703 for introducing a ribbon optical fiber into the output member 700 is formed at an end of the base 702. At the end of the pedestal having grooves, a plurality of holes 704 are formed to separate the plurality of single fibers from the ribbon cable. The fiber is led through the hole 704 5 to the output member. The grooves 705 extend longitudinally downward along both sides of the base 702. A pair of fixing members 706 may be formed at the front end of the cover 701. The fixture 706 can be embedded in the groove 705 on either side of the base to form the assembled output member 700.带 The ribbon fiber is first introduced into the recess 703 during use. The fiber in the ribbon 10 cable is divided into separate single fibers. Each individual single fiber is fed through one of the apertures 704 until the ribbon aperture is secured to the base 702 of the output member 700. The output member 700 is assembled by inserting the fixing member 706 on the detachable cover 701 into the groove 705 on the base 702. When the projections 707 are pressed into the opening 708, the output members 700 are locked together. 15 Figure 6 shows the optical device holder insert 400 and the conventional connector insert 500 mounted in the connection pallet 600. The connection pallet 600 includes a single φ body formed structure and includes two substantially parallel spaced side walls 617 and 618, first 621 and second 622 curved end walls, and a bottom wall 623 and an optional cover (not shown). . Each pallet 600 can accommodate up to 24 splice connectors or 16 20 mechanical connectors or at least one optical component, while for commercially available connector retainer inserts, it can accommodate up to 12 splice connectors or 8 mechanical connectors. The pallet 600 can additionally store each slack fiber in a minimum amount of space through a minimum amount of space, and can ensure a minimum bend half 17 200933226 ^ For example, a conventional fiber is 1 · 5 inches (3.8 cm) and can be processed Sixteen buffer tubes or cables are processed in each of the openings 630. The connection pallet has a plurality of fiber optic fixtures 626 disposed around the top periphery of the side walls and the curved end walls. Additional walls and/or partitions may be added 5 to the connection pallet to enhance the fibers in the connection pallet. Route setup and management. These additional walls may also have additional fiber optic fasteners 628 disposed along their top edges. The fiber holders 626, 028 extend into the section defined by the inner surfaces of the side walls and end walls and are spaced from the bottom wall to hold the fibers between the® fasteners 626, 627 and the bottom wall 623. 10 Opening 63 The crucible is located adjacent each corner of the connection pallet and is formed between each of the side walls and each of the curved end walls through which the optical fibers are introduced and led out of the pallet. Each opening may have a plurality of channels 634 in which side-by-side buffer tubes or cables may be disposed. The passages may be defined by adjacent fixed features 636 that are sufficiently resilient to receive the buffer tube 15 therebetween. The buffer tube can be secured in the channel by a combination of mechanical features between the fixed feature and the buffer tube, or by a spring-loaded e-fitting between the fixed feature and the buffer tube, by a cable tie secured to the fixed feature. Therefore, the manifold or light can be held in the channel without any additional tools or parts, and the amount of pressure on the buffer tube of the fiber can be controlled to eliminate the possible transmission loss due to the compression of the fiber. The central area of the connection pallet may be provided with at least one optical device storage/fiber connector section 64A. The connector board of Figure 6 has two optical device storage/connector sections 640. Each connector segment can typically be rectangular in shape. Along the edge of the optical device storage/connector section 64A is provided a plurality of 18 200933226 5 Ο 10 15 20 slots (not shown) that accommodate embedded optical device holders and/or conventional connections A latching assembly of the holder to secure the holder in the connection pallet. The removable optical device holder 400 and the conventional optical device holder can be embedded in the optical device storage/connector area. The use of connector inserts maximizes network flexibility without the need for an overstocked connection pallet. The ability to mount the optical device into the connector insert further broadens the selection surface available to those skilled in the art. The connection pallet 600 includes an exemplary embodiment in which the optical device holder 400 as shown in FIG. 4A is combined with a conventional mechanical connector optical device holder. This configuration can accommodate a 1x8 splitter in the device holder 400. If the conventional mechanical connector optics holder 500 is replaced by a standard splice connector optical device holder, the same configuration can accommodate a 1x4 or 1x8 splitter. If the output fiber of the optical device has been connected, the connector holder 500 can be replaced by the second optical device holder 400. In this case, at least two optical devices can be housed in the connection pallet 600. The connection pallet 600 can be hingedly coupled to another connection pallet 600. The hinge can be formed integrally with the connecting pallet or by hinged the connecting pallet to the center bracket. In the present embodiment, one half of the hinge 650 is disposed on each of the connection pallets 600, 600, and the connection pallets 600, 600 are sequentially interconnected with the hinge pins 655. The pin can be formed integrally with the connecting pallet. When the connection pallet is installed in a telecommunications rack or cabinet, the pins can be separated from the connection pallet and embedded in the hinge. The stacked connection pallets can be used in conjunction with current optical device holders. 19 200933226 From the perspective of the present specification, various variations, equivalent processes, and various structures to which the invention pertains can be applied will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The invention may be modified and described in detail in the accompanying drawings. However, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be construed as being limited to the particular embodiments of the invention.
