Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a telecommunications panel for connecting optical fiber cables from inter-facility cables (IFC) to fiber optic termination equipment. The telecommunications panel receives the IFC cable into a tray where the optical fibers within the cable are spliced and coupled to monitor fibers and transmission fibers. These monitor and transmission fibers are terminated at adapters within the panel for connection to cables extending to the FOT equipment. The IFC cables may be multi-strand optical fiber cables or single strand cables. The present invention also relates to a drop-in tray for use with a telecommunications panel which provides both splice and coupling devices on the same tray. The drop-in tray also includes adapters where the transmission and monitor fibers are terminated for connection to cables extending to FOT equipment.
