Definitions
- This invention relates to a fiber optic cable distribution tray system particularly well suited for use for high density fiber optic cable applications.
- a minimum bend radius may for example be one and one-half inches, or it may be thirty millimeters (30rnm).
- Fiber optic cable distribution frames, bays or panels are generally utilized to provide termination, cross-connect, splice, patch and storage interface between fiber-optic cables that lead to user installations.
- These bays typically include high density fiber distribution frameworks which include fiber-optic cross connection and/or patching functions or features.
- OSP outside plant
- the management of the fiber optic cable becomes more and more difficult due to the geometrical limitations imposed by the decreased spacing of the fiber optic connectors and the management and routing of the fiber optic cables.
- the management of the fiber is important, especially applications which include a higher density of fiber optic cables. It is desirable to provide a high density fiber distribution frame and tray system which provides easy access and cable management which reduces slack in fiber optic cables routed through the tray system.

- framework as used herein need not be continuous or in. any specific number of pieces. However it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the framework could be one piece, two piece or more than two pieces. Furthermore, the framework as contemplated by this invention need not be in one continuous section, but instead may also be divided up into multiple sections or segments.
- fiber optic connector or "connector” as used herein is well known and defined in the art, and is intended to broadly cover all types and kinds of connectors, past and future, no one of which is necessary to practice this invention.
- a connector is a mechanical device used to align and join two fiber optic cables together to provide a means to attach and decouple it to transmitters, receivers or to another fiber.
- Commonly used connectors are without limitation, ST Connector- Compatible connectors, FC, FCPC, Biconic, SC, E2000, D4, and SMA 905 or 906 connectors.
- mounting fiber optic connectors as used in relation to the mounting of the fiber optic connectors, means the direct or indirect mounting of the fiber optic connectors, which may be held in or by fiber optic adapters (which are generally known by those of ordinary skill in the art), and/or by fiber optic adapter holders or structures.
- framework as used in relation to the first end of the tray mount structure being adapted to mount to the framework structure, may include any type of frame (such as a fiber distribution frame), cabinet, wall or other structure to which it may be desired to mount the tray mount structure.
- fiber optic adapter or "adapter” as used herein is also well known and defined in the art, and is the apparatus which retains the fiber optic connectors and provides the structure to hold the fiber optic connectors and to mount the connectors to other equipment, panels, bulkheads, frameworks, and the like.
- Adapter is sometimes also referred to as a coupling or mating bushing in the industry.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of a fiber distribution frame or bay as contemplated by this invention.
- Figure 1 illustrates fiber distribution frame 100 with a framework consisting of top 103, a first side 101, a second side 102, and a bottom 104.
- Vertically oriented and attached to the framework are first wall 105, second wall 107, third wall 106 and fourth wall 108.
- First wall 105 and second wall 107 combine to form a wall partition with a transverse fiber optic cable pathway 99 between the two to allow fiber from the plurality of fiber optic connector trays 120 to be routed into fiber support area 95, routed on one or more of fiber supports 109 and preferably through transverse fiber optic cable pathway 98 and then to one of fiber optic connector trays 121 on the second side of the framework.
- Fiber optic cables from fiber optic connector trays 120 which are located below transverse fiber optic cable pathway 99 are preferably routed downward, around fiber optic bend protector 113, looped or supported on one or more of fiber supports 91, routed back downward through transverse fiber pathway 96, and around fiber optic bend protector 114, where they can be connected to a fiber optic connector within one of fiber optic connector trays 121.
- fiber from fiber optic connector trays 120 on the first side 100a of the framework, and above transverse fiber optic cable pathway 99 be routed into the fiber support area above transverse fiber pathway 99, and then routed through transverse fiber pathway 98 and upward to fiber optic connector trays 121 which positioned above the second transverse fiber pathway 98 (additional fiber optic connector trays 121 would normally also be positioned above the fiber pathway 98, which are not shown in the drawing).
- Fiber optic bend protectors 112, 113, 93 and 114 provide minimum bend radius protection for fiber optic cables being routed through transverse fiber optic cable pathways 99, 98, 97 and 96.
- fiber optic cables routed from fiber optic connector trays 120 which are below first transverse fiber pathway 99 are preferably routed downward and around fiber optic bend protector 93, up into the fiber support area, looped or supported by one or more fiber supports 91, routed back downward around fiber optic bend protector 114, and then back upward to one or more of fiber optic connector trays 121.
- Fiber optic connector trays 120 and 121 are pivotally mounted to the framework such that they rotate about the respective pivot points or axis, first axis 119 on the first side 100a of framework, and about axis 123 mounted to second side 100b of the framework.
- Mount arms 122 are utilized to mount fiber optic connector trays 121 to the second side 100b of the framework.
- One of fiber optic connector trays 120 is shown pivoted inward about axis 119, and the tray and method of pivoting is described more fully below in relation to other figures.
- the fiber supports 109 and 91 each have fiber optic support surfaces disposed to receive and support fiber optic cables in such a way that minimum bend radius is met.
- Each of the fiber supports also has a rotatable end piece 109a and 91a, which may be rotated to any desired angle around fiber supports 109a or 91 to ease the access and movement of fiber optic cables supported thereon, and also to minimize displacement. For example, when fiber support end pieces 109 or 91a are rotated to be in a downward position, described more fully in later figures, fiber may much more easily be removed from the fiber support and rerouted without substantial displacement by having to move the fiber up over the end support, as required in prior art.
- Figure 1 also shows the framework with the first side 100a including a first section 80 above a second section 81, and the second side 100b including a third section 82 above a fourth section 84.
- FIG 2 shows another embodiment of a fiber optic connector tray assembly which may be mounted to the framework shown in Figure 1 or any other location where high density of fiber optic connectors is desired.
- Fiber optic connector trays 152 are pivotally mounted to module framework 151 through mount arms 153 and about pivot 154 or axis 154.
- the fiber optic connector trays 152 illustrated in Figure 2 may be rotated away from the viewer for access to fiber optic connector 161, fiber optic connector 160, which are operatively attached to one another via fiber optic adapter 162.
- Figure 2 also illustrates fiber optic cables 165 attached to fiber optic connectors
- Fiber optic cable operatively attached to fiber optic connectors 160 will generally be routed around fiber control lid 170, through the fiber pathway which continues under fiber pathway cover 169 and back toward module framework 151.
- fiber control lid 170 may be rotated about axis 171 to allow better access to fiber optic cable throughout the fiber optic pathway 167 through pathway 168.
- the fiber optic connector module 150 is versatile and provides higher density than heretofore provided.
- Partial tray cover 166 likewise rotates outward, as shown in later figures, to provide protection and retention in a dispersed position but to rotate or pivot outward to a second position such that fiber optic cables 165 may be more easily accessed and handled. It is preferable that fiber optic connector trays 152 be aligned and retained via latches 163, as shown more fully in Figure 3.
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of one of the fiber optic connector trays 152 shown in Figure 2.
- Figure 3 illustrates mount arm 153, pivot 154 or axis 154 about which fiber optic connector tray 152 pivots or rotates to provide better access to the fiber optic connectors 160 and 161 within fiber optic connector tray 152.
- Figure 3 further illustrates fiber pathway lid 169, fiber retention lid 166, fiber control lid 170, and fiber control lid access 171.
- fiber connected to fiber optic connectors 160 (mounted in fiber optic adapters 162) is generally routed through fiber pathway 167 and around to fiber optic cable pathway 168, which proceeds under fiber pathway lid 169 and back toward the access 154 for the routing and management.
- Fiber retention lid 166 may rotate as shown, or it may also slide, for ease of access.
- a desirable feature about the embodiments of a fiber optic connector tray as illustrated in figures such as Figure 3 is a system which eliminates unnecessary slack in fiber as the fiber optic connector tray 152 is pivoted about axis 154.
- the tray housing is a combination of two elements which slide relative to one another, namely, first tray body structure 200a on which the fiber optic connectors are mounted, and second tray body structure 200b.
- first tray body structure 200a slides relative to second tray body structure 200b, thereby reducing or eliminating the unnecessary pulling on fiber optic cables 165 as the fiber optic connector tray 152 is pivoted.
- Another way to avoid unnecessary pulling on fiber optic cables is to provide substantial excess slack in the fiber optic cables such that when they are rotated the fiber optic cables are not pulled from the connectors or undue pressure is not placed upon them. This is undesirable from a fiber management perspective and from a fiber bend radius control perspective, and embodiments of the system contemplated by this invention eliminate the need to provide such unnecessary additional slack in fiber optic cables and also eliminates unnecessary and undesirable pulling on fiber optic cables attached to fiber optic connectors. This is described and illustrated more fully below.
- the fiber optic connectors generally connect equipment or outside plant fiber optic cables to other connectors, and the fiber optic cables 165 will therefore typically be referred to as the equipment or OSP side of the connector or tray.
- the other side of the tray will typically be referred to as the patch side of the tray because the fiber optic cables on that side pass through fiber pathway 168 to exit the tray 152, and are generally routed to other fiber optic connectors for patching or connecting to other lines or equipment.
- Figure 4 is a top view of the embodiment of the invention illustrated in Figure 3, showing fiber optic connector tray 152, fiber optic cables 165 and tray housing lid 166 in its first position and its second position rotated outward to allow better access to fiber optic cables 165.
- Figure 4 illustrates the first tray body structure 200a in a first or un-rotated position relative to second tray body structure 200b.
- the tray body being comprised of a first tray body structure 200a and a second tray body structure 200b, has a longitudinal direction which in the embodiment shown, is approximately aligned with the fiber optic connectors mounted or retained by the first tray body structure 200a.
- Figure 4 also illustrates how slack is taken up in the fiber exit pathway on the patch side or outside of the fiber optic connector trays 152.
- slack is created in the exiting patch fiber optic cables 159 because the tray 152 is pivoted in that direction and there is a distance from the center of the fiber pathway exit 157 and pivot axis 154. It is estimated that approximately one to one and one-half inches of slack are taken up by the movement of the first tray body structure 200a.
- the fiber entrance pathway 158 is typically where fiber optic cables 165 from the equipment or outside plant side of the fiber optic cable connectors, are routed.
- the center line of the fiber entrance pathway 158 should generally about equal distance from the pivot axis 154 as the center line of the fiber pathway exit 157.
- FIG. 5 is a bottom view of an embodiment of the fiber optic connector tray 152 illustrated in Figures 3 and 4, showing the first tray body structure 200a in an un- rotated position, second tray body structure 200b, mount arm 153, axis 154, slide guide apertures 206 with guide aperture first end 206a and with slide guides 205 in slide guide apertures 206.
- mount arm gears 202 interact with tray housing gears 203 to cause first tray body structure 200a to slide in the directions indicated by arrow 204 relative to second tray body structure 200b.
- Figure 5 shows one way to cause the relative movement of the two housing sections
- this invention is not limited to the specific ways shown in Figure 5, but others may also be used, as described more fully below with respect to Figures 8 and 9, and other ways.
- Figure 6 is a bottom view of fiber optic connector tray 152 in the rotated position and shows a different relative position between first tray body structure 200a and second tray body structure 200b.
- Fiber optic connector tray 152 has been rotated about axis 154 while mount arm 153 is fixed or attached to the framework.
- Mount arm gears 202 have interacted with tray housing gear 203 to cause first tray body structure 200a to move relative to the remainder of the tray.
- the corresponding mount arm gears are considered to be a link as used herein.
- Figure 6 further shows slide guides 205 in their rotated position in slide guide apertures 206, and away from slide guide aperture first end 206a.
- the rotation of fiber optic connector tray 152 causing relative movement represented by arrow 204 also provides better and easier access to fiber optic cables within the fiber optic connector tray 152, as can be seen in Figure 6.
- Latch 163 is generally utilized to latch or attach tray support rails 110 or 111 (not shown in Figure 6) to lock or hold the trays in the un-rotated position. When it is desired to rotate a tray, latch 163 may be depressed or released and allow it to be rotated inwardly toward the fiber support area of the fiber distribution frame.
- Figure 7 is a more detailed drawing illustrating the latch 163 as it would retain fiber optic connector tray 152 to tray support rail 110 (or item 111, not shown in Figure 7).
- the latch notches 163a allow a user to more easily bend the latch due to flexibility of latch support 163b.
- Tab 220 inserts into an aperture in tray support rail 110 to better align the fiber optic connector tray in tray support rail 110.
- Figure 7 further illustrates fiber control lid 170.
- Figure 8 shows another embodiment of a link arm mechanism which may be utilized to cause a relative movement of the first tray body structure 200a relative to the second tray body structure 200b.
- Figure 8 illustrates the fiber optic connector tray 152 in the un-rotated position, but illustrates link arm 260 or link 260 mounted both to mount arm 153 and to first tray body structure 200a.
- Screws 190 and 191 act as slide guides within slide guide apertures 192 and 193, also screw apertures, to provide the relative movement.
- Figure 9 illustrates the embodiment of the invention shown in Figure 8 in the fully rotated position.
- link arm 260 is attached to first tray body structure 200a and has caused relative movement of first tray body structure 200a relative to second tray body structure 200b, causing the relative movement illustrated by arrow 204.
- Screws 190 and 191 have moved within screw apertures 192 and 193 to guide, limit and control the relative movement or sliding.
