Definitions

  • This invention relates to fibre optic management systems or distribution centres and in particular to patch panels for use in such systems and centres.
  • Fibre optic management systems or distribution centres are used for the organisation of optical cables and connectors.
  • Such management systems can take the form of a cabinet situated on the street or within a building and are used for separating and organising the optical fibres and cables entering the building.
  • a fibre optic management system can also take the form of an equipment rack in a central exchange, such as a central telephone exchange, or sub-racks at customer premises.
  • fibre connectors are supported on a fixed panel known as a patch panel. Patch panels are used for securing and retaining the connectors of fibres and cables and the connectors are generally arranged on the patch panel in rows and columns. Access to individual connectors on a patch panel after initial installation is often required to allow changes such as reassignment to be made to those connectors.
  • the Applicant's earlier European patent no. 0 943 944 describes one way in which access can be improved by providing a panel for supporting a plurality of fibre optic connectors, which panel is provided with a plurality of apertures for receiving the connectors arranged in at least one row with a part of each connector so received being removable from a front of the panel, wherein the apertures of the at least one row are arranged such that connectors received therein diverge forwardly of the front of the panel.
  • Prior Art patch panels are disclosed in US 5 530 954 and US 5 363 467. In these patch panels the connectors are positioned at a predetermined oblique angle.
  • Another Prior Art example is disclosed in US 5 127 082 where connector yokes are provided with a pre-set angle relative to the normal of plane of the panel and which is beneficial to preferred cable arrangement.
  • the present invention seeks to reconcile these conflicting requirements and provide a panel structure for supporting optical fibre connectors which will be versatile in the directions in which optical fibres or pigtails can be lead away from the panel without requiring a large number of different components to achieve this objective.
  • a panel for supporting a plurality of fibre optic connectors which panel is provided with a plurality of apertures for receiving connectors arranged in at least one row, in which the apertures are oriented such that a connector received therein is inclined to the normal to the panel, and the orientation of at least one aperture or group of apertures determining the direction of inclination of at least one connector or group of connectors is selectable prior to installation of the connector or connectors therein.
  • each aperture is defined by a frame the plane of which is inclined to the general plane of the panel.
  • the inclination of such frames may be achieved either by forming the panel with a plurality of rectilinear corrugations comprising alternate oppositely-directed faces, or by providing each frame defining an aperture with two parallel opposite frame limbs inclined to the general plane of the panel and joined by a transverse frame limb.
  • This latter configuration can be achieved by punching the frame limbs from a metal plate, or by plastics injection moulding to form a "plate” having a plurality of such frames.
  • the frames are designed so they can be bent or tilted into a proper orientation.
  • a frame defining an aperture for receiving one connector will be termed a "window", this term being applied equally to the aperture or the surrounding frame defining it.
  • the window frames are joined together in a strip or plate comprising at least one row of such frames.
  • the panel preferably has one or a plurality of openings for receiving the or each strip or plate. The orientation of the strip or plate within the opening then defines the direction of inclination of the window apertures.
  • the apertures defined by the window frames in a row thereof may be all inclined in the same direction or, as appropriate, alternate apertures defined by adjacent frames in a row thereof may be inclined in opposite directions.
  • the inclinations may, of course, be in a direction parallel to the length of the row or transverse the length of the row, and if inclined in a direction transverse the row they may be perpendicular to the length of the row or inclined at an angle other than 90° to the length of the row.
  • the direction of inclination may lie at an angle other than 90° to the length of the row and, consequently, may have components parallel to and perpendicular to the length of the row. Alternate frames may then vary in inclination in one component whilst the other component may be constant throughout the length of the row.
  • the support panel has a plurality of openings for receiving a plurality of connector plates in selected orientations.
  • the angle of inclination of an aperture is variable.
  • both the angle and the direction of inclination of an aperture is variable.
  • the present invention also comprehends apparatus for forming a patch panel for supporting a plurality of fibre optic connectors, comprising a support panel having one or more openings therein and a corresponding number of connector plates having a plurality of apertures for receiving connectors in one or more rows, the apertures being inclined to the general plane of the connector plate and the direction of inclination being selectable by the choice of orientation of the connector plate upon installation thereof.
  • the present invention also comprehends a cabinet incorporating one or more patch panel as defined herein.

  • a plate generally indicated 11 for a patch panel is formed as an elongate strip having, in this embodiment, six upstanding rectangular frames 12 each defining a rectangular window 13 within which a connector 14 (Fig. 2f) can be mounted to interconnect a fibre optic cable 15 with a pig tail 16 having an integral counterpart connector.
  • the plate or strip 11 can be fitted in an opening 17 in a panel 18 having eight such openings, for which purpose the strip 11 is provided with holes 19, 20 at each end through which can pass fixing elements into corresponding aligned holes 21, 22 of a selected opening 17.
  • the patch panel 18 is suitable for being used in a cabinet for separating and organising optical fibres to be connected end to end, for example prior to entering or within a building.
  • the patch panel 18 may be supported in a cabinet by means (not shown) which allow it to be moved between a stored or closed position and an access position at which it is possible for an operator to act on the connectors 14, making new connections or repairing damaged connections as appropriate.
  • the inclination of the connectors 14, which is determined by the inclination of the frames 12 and windows 13 in which the connectors are fitted, direct the pigtails 16 to the left as viewed in Figure 2.
  • a patch panel having up to forty-eight windows 13 for receiving respective connectors 14 can thus be produced from the strip 11 and the panel 18. With any fewer number of windows 13, in units of six, being made available by a suitable selection of the number of plates 11 to fit to the panel 18.
  • Figure 3 shows a similar configuration in which, as in the other Figures, the same reference numerals have been used to identified the same or corresponding components.
  • the strip 11 has two rows of frames 12 defining two rows of windows 13 and the panel 18 has four openings 17 for receiving a corresponding number of strips or plates 11.
  • Figure 3f these are shown oriented such that the connectors 14 are inclined with the pigtails all leading to the right.
  • a number of different patch panel configurations can be achieved utilising the single row connector plate 11 illustrated in Figure 2a.

  • adjacent rows of pigtails 16 exit from the patch panel to the left or to the right.
  • the plates 11 are orientated so that the pigtails 16 exit the patch panel in a configuration with two rows leading to the left and two rows leading to the right.
  • rows is intended to identify solely a longitudinally aligned assembly of items and not define the orientation of alignment.
  • a row may extend horizontally, vertically or at any angle in between.
  • Figure 5a shows an element in the form of a plate 11 comprising a single row of twelve frames 12, that is twice the number present in the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2. Apart from its additional length the plate 11 of Fig. 5a has the same form as the strip 11 of

  • Figure 5c all the windows 12 are inclined to the left so that the pigtails 16 all exit to the left
  • Figure 5d all the windows 12 are inclined to the right so that all the pigtails exit to the right. It will be appreciated that different combinations of configurations can be achieved upon installation simply by selecting the respective orientations of the plates 11 as they are fitted to the patch panel.
  • plates having two, three, four or more rows of twelve windows may be provided.
  • the exit direction of the pigtails can only be selected in groups the size of which is determined by the number of windows in the plate.
  • Patch panels for receiving such plates may be provided with individual apertures the size of which matches that of an individual plate, or may have apertures in which one dimension is a multiple of that of the plates so that two, three or more plates may be positioned in a common aperture, naturally oriented as selected by the installer to determine the exit direction of the pigtails or optical fibres.
  • Figure 6 illustrates an alternative embodiment in which a plate 11 is provided with inclined frames 12 each of which defines three windows 13, 13', and 13" such that the single plate 11 offers eighteen potential sites for connectors 14 all inclined in the same direction as illustrated in Figure 6c.

  • the panel 18 itself is corrugated with an array of rectilinear corrugations 23, 24, alternate corrugations defining surfaces 23 having a set of holes 13 for receiving connectors 14.
  • an overall patch panel can be assembled by fitting the panel 18 in one orientation or the other to allow the optical fibres to join and exit in one direction or the other as desired.
  • Figure 8 illustrates a further alternative embodiment in which a panel of corrugated form like that of the embodiment of Figure 7 is formed in such a way that the alternate faces 23 (corresponding to frames 12 in Fig. 2d) each have a single large opening 13 for receiving individual connectors 14 which are displaceable along the length of the opening 13 to facilitate changes to the connection arrangement.

  • connectors fitted to the frames 12' and 12" will direct their optical fibres in opposite directions.
  • the plate 18 thus provides for the pigtails or optical fibres in an upper horizontal row (in the orientation viewed in the drawing) to exit to the left whilst the pigtails or optical fibres of the connectors in the next row all exit to the right and so on. Again, this maximises the space available for access to individual connectors and, furthermore, makes the best use of the space within the cabinet for housing and routing optical fibres.
  • a plate 11 has a plurality of windows 17 each with two opposite sides 27, 28 having cavities 29, 30 for receiving oppositely-directed spigots 31, 32 of a removable rectangular frame 12 the dimensions of which are such as to make it suitable for receiving a connector 16, as illustrated in Figures 10c, lOd and lOe.
  • the spigots 31, 32 in the cavities 29, 30 allow the frame 12 to pivot so that the connector 16 can adopt any inclined position between the end positions illustrated in Figures 10c and lOe.
