Definitions

  • Optical communication equipment is typically housed in bays, which include a rectangular frame having dimensions conforming to a particular standard, such as the Network Equipment Building Standard (NEBS).
  • NEBS Network Equipment Building Standard
  • NEBS was originally developed by Bell Telephone Laboratories in the 1970s and expanded by Bellcore. Long a requirement for equipment used in the Central Office in the North American Public Switched Network, the NEBS criteria have become a universal measure of network product excellence.
  • each shelf of an optical communications equipment frame will be fully populated with line modules, and each line module will be fully populated with optical modules.
  • the slots of each shelf typically are not fully populated, thereby resulting in the use of blank (dummy) line modules (alternatively called line module blanks or blank modules) as well as with the use of blank (dummy) optical modules (alternatively called optical module blanks).
  • Such blank modules are structurally configured the same way as ' functional or working modules, which contain electrical components, but specifically do not contain the typical electrical components found within the working modules. These blank modules typically are used due to the equipment requirements of the user or the desire of the user is to leave room for future expansion of the communications system.
  • the conduits are shown to be optical fibers, but an alternative embodiment of the invention is applicable to any type of data transmission line used in communications, for example copper conductors, coaxial cable, or any other type of electrical or optical conductors.
  • the receptacle is shown to accommodate LC connectors, however embodiments of the invention are not limited to LC connectors but rather contemplate all types of connectors.
  • the embodiment shown has two recesses per receptacle as a duplex optical fiber, however the inventive conduit receptacle may have as few as one recess or as many recesses as is practical for this application. Also, any number of locking tabs may be provided on each receptacle.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un module vide pour un système de communication, tel qu'un dispositif de mise en réseau optique. Une base est conçue pour s'adapter dans un espace du système de communication, réservé à un module de fonctionnement, tel qu'un module ligne optique. Au moins un logement pour conduit peut être disposé sur la base, et est capable de retenir un conduit de communication à une longueur prédéterminée, afin qu'il puisse être relié à un constituant du module de fonctionnement remplaçant le module vide dans le système de communication. De cette façon, tous les conduits qui ne sont pas utilisés pendant une période donnée en raison de l'absence d'un module de fonctionnement sont dimensionnés en conséquence et ne devront pas être rallongés, raccourcis ou remplacés lors de l'installation du véritable module de fonctionnement. Le logement pour conduit peut remplacer un connecteur électrique dans un module de fonctionnement.
