Slidable Fiber Optic Adaptor in Optic Fiber Panel Assembly - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17876721 titled 'Slidable Fiber Optic Adaptor in Optic Fiber Panel Assembly
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a slidable fiber optic adaptor that can be mounted to a fiber optic tray in a panel assembly. - The slidable adaptor can be moved between a non-extended position and an extended position. - This allows for fiber optic connectors with different polarities to be connected in a staggered configuration, creating space for finger access for operators or technicians. - The slidable adaptor makes it easier to inspect and manage the fiber optic cables. - The innovation simplifies the process of interconnecting fiber optic cables and improves accessibility for maintenance and inspection.
Original Abstract Submitted
A slidable fiber optic adaptor slidable relative to a mounting support configured to be mounted to a fiber optic tray in a panel assembly is provided for fiber optic interconnection. The slidable adaptor may be slidable between a non-extended position and an extended position. Thus, when the fiber optic connectors having different polarities are connected to the slidable adaptors, the slidable fiber optic adaptor may be pulled out in the extended position to allow the fiber optic connectors with different polarities to be in a staggered configuration, thus, providing sufficient space therebetween for finger access for operators or technicians for ease of cable inspection and management.
