Title:
MANAGEMENT TRAY WITH FIBER BUNDLE LOCKING ARRANGEMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/122104
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A fiber management tray (100A, 100B, 100C) for use with blown fiber cables includes a tray body (110) and a locking arrangement (200A, 200B, 200C). The locking arrangement (200A, 200B, 200C) includes at least one trough member (210, 240, 260) defining an open-topped, longitudinally extending channel (213, 243, 263) sized to hold an optical fiber bundle (305). The trough member (210, 240, 260) retains the optical fiber bundle (305) against axial pull-out. Certain types of trough members (260) are wedge-shaped so that the trough member (260) squeezes the optical fiber bundle (305) within the channel (263) when the trough member (260) is pressed into the tray (110). Certain types of trough members (210) include clips (220) that mount to the trough members (210) to enclose the channels (213). Certain types of trough members (240) include teeth (244, 245) extending inwardly at an open top (247) of the channel (243).
