High-density patch-panel assemblies for optical fiber telecommunications
Eric Biribuze,Christopher Paul Lewallen,James P. Luther,Daniel S. Mcgranahan,Micah Colen Isenhour +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, patch panel assemblies (150) that contain patch panel modules (50) for use in optical fiber telecommunication systems are disclosed, which employ bend-insensitive optical fibers to connect front and rear ports (92, 98) so that the patch panels have a reduced size as compared to conventional patch panels.
Patent
Communications bladed panel systems
TL;DR: In this paper, a fiber panel system includes a chassis and at least blades configured to mount to the chassis, each of which is moveable relative to a chassis between a retracted (closed) position and an extended position.

Patent
Fiber termination block with angled slide
TL;DR: In this paper, the management of cables extending to and from fiber termination blocks (FTBs) with sliding angled fiber adaptor modules within a fiber distribution frame is discussed. But the work in this paper is limited to the case of a single connector and adaptor.
Patent
Optical fiber enclosure system using integrated optical connector and coupler assembly
TL;DR: In this article, the first optic coupler is integrated adjacent to the ferrule in the connector, and it is constructed in a compact package such that when installed in the optical fiber enclosure no part of the coupler connector assembly protrudes beyond the footprint of the fiber enclosure and yet maintains an industry recommended minimum bend radius of 1.5 inches on the output cable ports.
