Abstract

See full text

A module for optical fiber installation and storage at customer premises has a base, and a fiber supply spool mounted for rotation on the base. An elongated adapter plate has a front end portion for mounting a connector adapter. A rear end portion of the adapter plate has first hinge parts at one side of the plate, and the fiber supply spool has second hinge parts for engaging the first hinge parts of the plate to define a hinge axis. The adapter plate can swivel about the hinge axis between a position where the plate lies flush on the supply spool and the spool can turn as fiber unwinds, and a position where a port of a connector adapter mounted on the plate is accessible for connection to an outside device when the module is closed, and the plate engages the module base to restrain the spool from rotation.
