技术领域Technical Field
本公开涉及一种高密度光纤管理系统，该高密度光纤管理系统能够在已知的尺寸区域内管理和/或布设高密度光纤线缆，该尺寸区域例如是机架单元“RU”的空间。The present disclosure relates to a high-density fiber optic management system capable of managing and/or routing high-density fiber optic cables within a known size area, such as a rack unit "RU" space.
背景技术Background Art
光纤允许在比线材线缆更长的距离和更高的带宽上传输通信。光纤对于通信系统也是有利的，因为信号所遭受的损耗比线材线缆小，并且不受电磁干扰。因此，光纤通常用于高带宽、长距离的应用场合。数据中心的主要功能之一是提供进线光纤连接部与出线光纤连接部之间的连接。例如，光纤管理系统可用于在数据中心环境中提供光纤线缆互连。Optical fiber allows communications to be transmitted over longer distances and at higher bandwidths than wires and cables. Optical fiber is also advantageous for communication systems because the signals suffer less loss than wires and cables and are not subject to electromagnetic interference. Therefore, optical fiber is often used in high-bandwidth, long-distance applications. One of the main functions of a data center is to provide connectivity between incoming fiber optic connectors and outgoing fiber optic connectors. For example, a fiber management system can be used to provide fiber optic cable interconnections in a data center environment.

图16示出了根据另一实施例的接线板系统300的立体图，该接线板系统包括接线板310和安装好的盒320，其中接线板310构造成安装多达八(8)个盒320，其中每个盒320构造成包括使用堆叠式双重高的LC双工适配器的多达24个光纤连接部。接线板320具有装配1个RU空间的尺寸，并且机架被制成用于直接安装在机架或机柜上。当所有8个盒320都完全填布并安装到接线板310上时，这使得每个RU能有多达192个光纤连接。每个盒320都构造成包括6个单独的双重高的前侧开口327(例如，见图19中的开口327)，其中每个前侧开口327可以接收前侧适配器321(例如，图19中所示的堆叠式双重高的双工LC适配器，也可以称为“适配器阵列”)。当接线板310完全安装有8个完全光纤填布的盒320时，接线板310可包括多达48个前侧适配器321，这些适配器在RU空间中提供多达192个光纤连接部。盒320还包括安装在后开口中的至少两个后适配器322(例如MPO适配器)，其中后适配器322构造成与连接到前侧适配器321的光纤保持光纤连接。FIG. 16 shows a perspective view of a patch panel system 300 according to another embodiment, the patch panel system including a patch panel 310 and mounted cassettes 320, wherein the patch panel 310 is configured to mount up to eight (8) cassettes 320, wherein each cassette 320 is configured to include up to 24 fiber connections using stacked double-height LC duplex adapters. The patch panel 320 is sized to fit into a 1 RU space, and the rack is constructed for direct mounting to a rack or cabinet. This enables up to 192 fiber connections per RU when all eight cassettes 320 are fully populated and mounted to the patch panel 310. Each cassette 320 is configured to include six separate double-height front openings 327 (e.g., see openings 327 in FIG. 19 ), wherein each front opening 327 can receive a front adapter 321 (e.g., the stacked double-height duplex LC adapter shown in FIG. 19 , also referred to as an “adapter array”). When the patch panel 310 is fully installed with 8 fully fiber-filled cassettes 320, the patch panel 310 may include up to 48 front adapters 321 that provide up to 192 fiber connections in the RU space. The cassette 320 also includes at least two rear adapters 322 (e.g., MPO adapters) installed in the rear opening, wherein the rear adapters 322 are configured to maintain fiber connections with the optical fibers connected to the front adapters 321.
图17示出了接线板系统300的正视图，其中8个盒320安装在接线板310中并排列成2行和4列，并且每个盒320示出为完全填布有堆叠式双重高的LC双工适配器作为前侧适配器321。17 shows a front view of a patch panel system 300 with eight boxes 320 installed in a patch panel 310 and arranged in two rows and four columns, and each box 320 is shown fully populated with stacked double-high LC duplex adapters as front side adapters 321 .
在图18中，接线板310示出为未安装有任何盒320。接线板310包括四个开口313用于允许接收和安装盒320。开口313由分离柱312隔开，其中分离柱312包括在安装盒320时使用的安装特征部314。凸缘111的内侧还包括在安装盒320时使用的安装特征部315。安装特征部314、315接收安装在盒凸缘311中的紧固件，以将盒320固定到接线板310的前部。接线板310上的凸缘311用于将接线板310安装到电信设备机架、机柜、外壳或其他可安装的设备上。每个开口313构造成接收安装在柱中的多达2个盒320。In FIG. 18 , the patch panel 310 is shown without any boxes 320 installed. The patch panel 310 includes four openings 313 for allowing the boxes 320 to be received and installed. The openings 313 are separated by separation columns 312, wherein the separation columns 312 include mounting features 314 used when installing the boxes 320. The inner side of the flange 111 also includes mounting features 315 used when installing the boxes 320. The mounting features 314, 315 receive fasteners installed in the box flange 311 to fix the box 320 to the front of the patch panel 310. The flange 311 on the patch panel 310 is used to install the patch panel 310 to a telecommunications equipment rack, cabinet, housing or other mountable equipment. Each opening 313 is configured to receive up to 2 boxes 320 installed in the column.
图19示出了盒320的分解图。每个盒320构造成通过前部的六个相应开口327安装多达六个堆叠式双重高的双工LC适配器作为前侧适配器321。图19中所示的盒320还包括在后部的两个开口，以接收两个后部适配器322，例如MPO适配器。19 shows an exploded view of the cassette 320. Each cassette 320 is configured to mount up to six stacked double-high duplex LC adapters as front adapters 321 through six corresponding openings 327 in the front. The cassette 320 shown in FIG. 19 also includes two openings in the rear to receive two rear adapters 322, such as MPO adapters.
堆叠式双重高的双工LC适配器321支承两个LC双工连接部，该LC双工连接部具有以一个LC双工连接部的宽度和两个LC双工连接部的高度(例如，1x2配置)的几何形状。这些堆叠式双重高的双工LC适配器中的六个用于盒320中的这种1x2构造，但是值得注意的是，其他堆叠式阵列构造也是可能的，例如2x2、3x2、4x2和6x2。因此，堆叠式双重高的双工LC适配器具有与堆叠在一起的两个双工LC适配器相似的尺寸，如下面参考至少图21-23更详细地描述的。The stacked double-high duplex LC adapter 321 supports two LC duplex connectors having a geometry with the width of one LC duplex connector and the height of two LC duplex connectors (e.g., a 1x2 configuration). Six of these stacked double-high duplex LC adapters are used in this 1x2 configuration in the cassette 320, but it is noted that other stacked array configurations are possible, such as 2x2, 3x2, 4x2, and 6x2. Thus, the stacked double-high duplex LC adapter has similar dimensions to two duplex LC adapters stacked together, as described in more detail below with reference to at least FIGS. 21-23.
图19还示出了紧固件323(例如，推针)预先安装在位于盒320相对端的两个盒凸缘324中的孔326中。凸缘324具有孔326，以接收紧固件323或供紧固件323穿过。紧固件323将盒320固定到接线板310。注意，其他实施例可使用可能未预先安装在孔326中的紧固件。凸缘324还与接线板310的前表面相接，以防止盒320穿过接线板开口313，其安装在接线板310上。FIG. 19 also shows that fasteners 323 (e.g., push pins) are pre-installed in holes 326 in two box flanges 324 located at opposite ends of the box 320. The flanges 324 have holes 326 to receive or pass through the fasteners 323. The fasteners 323 secure the box 320 to the terminal block 310. Note that other embodiments may use fasteners that may not be pre-installed in the holes 326. The flanges 324 also interface with the front surface of the terminal block 310 to prevent the box 320 from passing through the terminal block opening 313, which it is installed on the terminal block 310.
图20是示出盒320的某些尺寸测量值的俯视图，其中六个堆叠式双重高的双工LC适配器作为前侧适配器321安装在盒320中。图20中的测量值以英寸(毫米)为单位提供。例如，盒凸缘324的厚度可以测量为t1，为0.093英寸(2.37毫米)；在盒凸缘324后面的盒320的前侧的深度可以测量为t2，为0.437英寸(11.09毫米)；测量盒凸缘324到前侧适配器321的深度可以测得为t3，为0.713英寸(18.11毫米)；在凸缘324后面测量盒320的前侧板328的深度(包括盒凸缘324的厚度)可以测量为t4，为0.530英寸(13.46毫米)；而前侧适配器121的深度可以被测量为t5，为0.620英寸(15.75毫米)。20 is a top view showing certain dimensional measurements of cassette 320 with six stacked double-high duplex LC adapters installed in cassette 320 as front adapters 321. The measurements in FIG20 are provided in inches (millimeters). For example, the thickness of the box flange 324 can be measured as t1, which is 0.093 inches (2.37 mm); the depth of the front side of the box 320 behind the box flange 324 can be measured as t2, which is 0.437 inches (11.09 mm); the depth from the box flange 324 to the front side adapter 321 can be measured as t3, which is 0.713 inches (18.11 mm); the depth of the front side plate 328 of the box 320 measured behind the flange 324 (including the thickness of the box flange 324) can be measured as t4, which is 0.530 inches (13.46 mm); and the depth of the front side adapter 121 can be measured as t5, which is 0.620 inches (15.75 mm).
图21-23显示了堆叠式双重高的双工LC适配器321(以下称为“适配器阵列”)的视图。图21示出了适配器阵列321的立体图，其中可以看到适配器阵列321具有与组合成单个单片适配器的两个双工LC适配器相似的尺寸。与将两个双工LC适配器物理地堆叠在一起相比，节省空间是适配器阵列321的这种一体式堆叠设计的主要优点。21-23 show views of a stacked double-high duplex LC adapter 321 (hereinafter referred to as an "adapter array"). FIG21 shows a perspective view of the adapter array 321, where it can be seen that the adapter array 321 has similar dimensions to two duplex LC adapters combined into a single monolithic adapter. Saving space is a major advantage of this one-piece stacking design of the adapter array 321 compared to physically stacking two duplex LC adapters together.
图22A示出了适配器阵列321的正视图，图22B示出了连接器阵列321的侧面轮廓图。适配器阵列321被显示为在适配器的中心线之间具有竖直距离h1，该距离为0.38英寸，而堆叠在一起的两个双工LC适配器的相同的中心线竖直距离将为0.47英寸。由于适配器阵列321的高度较短，盒320中用于接收适配器阵列的开口327为0.75英寸，这小于将两个双工LC适配器堆叠在一起所需的尺寸。22A shows a front view of the adapter array 321, and FIG. 22B shows a side profile view of the adapter array 321. The adapter array 321 is shown as having a vertical distance h1 between the center lines of the adapters, which is 0.38 inches, while the same center line vertical distance of two duplex LC adapters stacked together would be 0.47 inches. Due to the shorter height of the adapter array 321, the opening 327 in the box 320 for receiving the adapter array is 0.75 inches, which is less than the size required to stack two duplex LC adapters together.
如图23中所示，在适配器阵列321上，用于LC连接器插销(latches)329的开口构造成面向向上的方向。这提供了关于用户如何从适配器阵列321中的上开口和下开口插入和移除连接器的一致性，并在适配器阵列321的上开口与下开口之间提供了统一的极性方案。As shown in Figure 23, the openings for the LC connector latches 329 on the adapter array 321 are configured to face in an upward direction. This provides consistency in how a user inserts and removes connectors from the upper and lower openings in the adapter array 321 and provides a uniform polarity scheme between the upper and lower openings of the adapter array 321.
图24是盒320不带安装好适配器阵列321的正视图，从而暴露出盒320的前侧适配器开口327。尺寸和形状系数比如下：Figure 24 is a front view of the box 320 without the adapter array 321 installed, thereby exposing the front adapter opening 327 of the box 320. The size and shape factor ratios are as follows:
W3＞90毫米(3.543英寸)，W3是从前侧开口327的端到端测量的。W3>90 mm (3.543 inches), W3 is measured from end to end of the front side opening 327.
W4>105.882毫米(4.169英寸)，其中W4测量从盒凸缘324的端到端测量的正面。W4>105.882 mm (4.169 inches), where W4 measures the front face measured from end to end of the box flange 324.
图25是安装有适配器阵列321的盒320的俯视图，盒320安装在接线板310上。所示尺寸以英寸(毫米)为单位。例如，接线板凸缘311的厚度可以测量为t6，为0.038英寸(0.95毫米)；从接线板凸缘311到前侧适配器321的前部的深度(包括接线板凸缘311的厚度)可以测量为t7，为0.75英寸(19.06毫米)；而从接插板凸缘311回到前侧板328的后端的深度(不包括接线板凸缘311的厚度)可测量为t8，为0.400英寸(10.15毫米)。FIG. 25 is a top view of a box 320 with an adapter array 321 installed, the box 320 being installed on a patch panel 310. The dimensions shown are in inches (millimeters). For example, the thickness of the patch panel flange 311 can be measured as t6, which is 0.038 inches (0.95 mm); the depth from the patch panel flange 311 to the front of the front adapter 321 (including the thickness of the patch panel flange 311) can be measured as t7, which is 0.75 inches (19.06 mm); and the depth from the patch panel flange 311 back to the rear end of the front side plate 328 (excluding the thickness of the patch panel flange 311) can be measured as t8, which is 0.400 inches (10.15 mm).
图26示出了根据另一实施例的适配器阵列321已装好并安装到外壳330的接线板310的立体图。外壳330主要包括顶盖331和基座332。顶盖331可装配并固定到外壳基座332。外壳基座332包括底部335、侧壁334、后壁335以及所附接或结合的安装凸缘336。当顶盖331和接线板310未安装时，外壳基座332的顶部和前部大体上是打开的。FIG. 26 shows a perspective view of a patch panel 310 with an adapter array 321 installed and mounted to a housing 330 according to another embodiment. The housing 330 mainly includes a top cover 331 and a base 332. The top cover 331 can be assembled and fixed to the housing base 332. The housing base 332 includes a bottom 335, side walls 334, a rear wall 335, and an attached or combined mounting flange 336.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 26 , the mounting flanges 336 also include optional threaded posts 338 that can be used to secure the patch panel 310 to the housing 330 prior to mounting the housing 330 to the rack/cabinet. The threaded posts 338 can be incorporated into the mounting flanges 336 of the housing to enable the patch panel 310 to be secured to the housing 330 with fasteners, such as the nuts 116 previously shown in FIG. 9 . The nuts 116 are used in conjunction with the threaded posts 338 to secure the patch panel 310 to the housing 330.
根据一些实施例，用于将接线板310安装到外壳330上的安装过程可以包括：According to some embodiments, the installation process for mounting the terminal block 310 to the housing 330 may include:
