Title:
FIBER-OPTIC CABLE TROUGH, LOW-PROFILE PCB MOUNT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003007031
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A fiber-optic cable guide (19) includes first and second guide walls (2, 3), one or more base support elements (4) for connecting the guide walls, and a number of securing elements (5) which extend from the guide walls along a top portion thereof. Each securing member preferably has a length which is shorter than the spacing between the guide walls. This difference in length substantially corresponds to the diameter of a fiber-optic cable. A fastener (40) may be included on a bottom surface of one or more of the guide walls for attaching the guide to a mounting surface, which may be a printed circuit board (25). Furthermore, the guide walls may be conformed to traverse any desired path along the board.
