Mounting system for optical network components and data cables
The granted patent US12066675B1 presents a mounting system designed for optical networks, featuring a backboard member with multiple mounting regions. This system includes at least one networking component that connects to the backboard via these regions, along with a data cable linked to the networking component. A key element of the system is the fiber trough member, which consists of an elongated base surface and two wall surfaces—one with a curved profile and the other with routing openings. The design allows for the data cable to be securely retained within a trough cavity formed by these components. The fiber trough can be constructed from polymeric or resilient materials and may include multiple mounting members for enhanced stability.
Additionally, the patent outlines the versatility of the fiber trough, which features open ends for selective routing of data cables. The trough can accommodate routing through either the open ends or the wall openings, providing flexibility in installation. The patent also describes the option of incorporating angled fiber trough members, which maintain the same structural characteristics as the standard trough but are oriented at an angle. This innovation aims to improve the organization and management of optical fiber cables within networking environments, ensuring efficient data transmission and system reliability.
