Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to an optical fibre management system, and particularly to a cassette for special-purpose connections between optical fibres.
  • Optical fibres are increasingly used in communication systems and their use involves various constraints due to the particular nature of optical fibres themselves.
  • One of these is the absolute limit on the minimum bending radius to which the optical fibres can be subject during use and storage in order to maintain their performance. If an optical fibre is bent through a radius less than the minimum bend radius its transmission properties can be permanently impaired. For this reason the components of a management system or distribution centre utilising optical fibres must be carefully designed to ensure that the routes followed by the optical fibres do not require the fibres to be bent sharply.
  • One way in which this is achieved is to leave relatively long lengths of surplus optical cable on either side of a junction so that should reallocation of an optical fibre be required it can be withdrawn from its storage position for work to be undertaken on it before being returned to service.
  • splitters are relatively long rigid units which must be protected from vibration and shock in order to maintain their performance; they are very often held in a cassette which also houses the spare lengths of optical fibres to allow subsequent working if maintenance operations or reallocation of the fibres is required after initial installation.
  • optical fibres leading to the splitters may all arrive from another part of the system in such a way that the splitters can be orientated all facing the same way, or may arrive from different parts of the system, in which case it may be necessary to have splitters, or cassettes containing them, orientated in such a way as to accommodate the arrival and departure directions of the optical fibres to and from the splitters.
  • EP 0 531 628 discloses an optical fibre organiser whereby an optical fibre cable is located on a lower tray and an optical fibre from the cable is spliced to a pigtail exiting via a plug and socket connection in an upper tray which is pivotably mounted to the lower tray.
  • An intermediate tray is also provided so as to allow storage means for spare length in the pigtail.
  • WO 95/07480 discloses an optical fibre organiser whereby a longitudinal plate provides a transverse array of guide means for incoming or exiting optical fibres along its length whereby the optical fibres are manipulated in trays which are orthogonally mounted with respect to the length of the plate. This document is not directed towards the problem solved by the present invention. Furthermore, the parts are provided only on its base and the optical fibre guides are provided only on trays carried by the base and constitutes a separate part therefrom.
  • US 5 790 741 discloses a cassette in which there are provided entry and exit means for one or more optical fibre cables.
  • the cassette further provides guide means for the splicing of optical fibres from the entry and exit cables, but the ports are provided on only one part.
  • the present invention seeks to overcome the disadvantages of the Prior Art and to provide a cassette for a plurality of optical fibre splitters as defined above which will have a high degree of versatility without loss of modularity in the system.
  • the present invention also seeks to provide a cassette having a high capacity without loss of compactness so that cassettes containing several splitters can be positioned closely adjacent to one another in circumstances where space is restricted, without obstructing access to any given optical fibre or splitter.
  • a cassette for holding a plurality of optical fibre splitters as herein defined comprises a first part having means for receiving optical fibre splitters, first means for guiding optical fibres to and from the splitters within the cassette, and a plurality of first ports for optical fibres to enter or exit the cassette, and a second part having second means for guiding optical fibres to or from the splitters within the cassette and a plurality of second ports for optical fibres to enter or exit the cassette.
  • Optical fibre splitters are usually provided with a length or lengths of optical fibres having connectors at their free ends by which the connection to the incoming and exiting fibres of the overall system may be connected.
  • the first and second ports are adapted to receive respective connector parts for connecting optical fibres within the cassette to optical fibres outside the cassette.
  • the ports referred to above may, therefore, be formed as suitable retainers for engaging or supporting one part of a connector allowing connections to be made to optical fibres within the cassette without opening it.
  • the said second part of the cassette is hingedly connected to the said first part thereof along one edge such that the cassette may be opened by turning the second part about the hinged connection to the first part.
  • the said second part may be releasably connectable to the said first part whereby to be separated from it entirely when the cassette is opened.
  • the releasable connection between the first and second parts of the cassette may be achieved by fastening means or by means of co-operating snap engageable elements on the two cassette parts.
  • the said first and second ports face in different directions, preferably in opposite directions although it is, of course, within the ambit of the present invention to provide a cassette in which the first and second ports face in the same direction.
  • the ports have a substantially rectangular cross section for receiving co- operatingly-shaped connectors.
  • each of the first ports has its longer side orthogonal to the longer side of the second ports.
  • the second ports are turned through 90° with respect to the first ports.
  • the said two cassette parts are substantially planar and one said part has an intermediate step in which the said second ports are located.
  • the orientation of the step may be such that the second ports face in the opposite direction to the said first ports.
  • the cassette preferably also includes a resilient element located between the splitter and the said first cassette part which is partly compressed by a splitter as it is snap-fitted into position so as to cushion the splitter and protect it from vibration.
  • At least one of the cassette parts may be provided with means for engaging the cassette to a support member of a carrier tray.
  • Such support member may be an arm or guide upstanding from the carrier tray for locating the cassette in a chosen orientation.
  • the present invention also comprehends an assembly comprising a plurality of cassettes for optical fibre splitters as defined here-in-above, and a carrier tray having support members for the cassettes and holding them in a predetermined orientation with respect to the tray.
  • each cassette may be provided on one end face thereof with means for guiding optical fibres leading to or coming from an adjacent cassette whereby to prevent the cables from bending though less than the minimum bend radius for the optical fibres.
  • each cassette in an assembly as defined hereinabove in the said predetermined orientation of each cassette it preferably has its major faces lying in a plane orthogonal to the major plane of the tray and inclined at a non-zero angle to one side thereof. It would, of course, be possible for the cassettes to be orientated with their major faces parallel to the general plane of the tray and stacked one above the other in individual stacks, or alternatively for the cassettes to be orientated such that they are orthogonal to the plane of the tray and to the length of the tray. An inclined orientation is preferred, however, as this eases the curvature of the fibres leading to and from the cassette assisting in avoiding the minimum bend radius.
  • the said cassette support member of the tray may comprise arms in pairs for engaging either side of each cassette, or may comprise generally planar elements having respective elongate slots for receiving engagement means of the cassette whereby to locate and retain a cassette in a predetermined orientation.
  • the engagement means of the cassette may be studs engaging from at least one major face of the cassette. It is convenient for the studs to be located at selected positions over the face of the cassette for which purpose a snap-engageable stud element may be provided for engagement in one of a number of holes provided in the major face of the cassette.
  • the said elongate slots of the cassette support members extend in a direction that is inclined at a non-zero angle to the plane of the carrier trays. This allows each cassette to be introduced to the tray and removed from it by a movement which is inclined to the plane of the tray. This is the most satisfactory direction from an operator's point of view.
  • the slot may have a lateral branch at or adjacent one end thereof into which the studs can be displaced by a movement transverse the direction of movement along the slot whereby to secure the cassette in position on the tray.
  • One or more slot, or said branch slot may have a constriction adjacent its end whereby to retain the engagement means of a cassette when introduced into a slot and moved to that end.

Because of the size of the connectors there is a physical limit to the number of connectors which can be fitted to one cassette, typically six connectors may be considered as a practical limit which means that the cassette can only carry two splitters each having one input connector and two output connectors.
