Fiber optic management unit and fiber optic distribution device
First Claim
1. A fiber optic management unit for handling optical fibers, the fiber optic management unit comprising:
- a base having first and second segments running perpendicular to each other, wherein the fiber optic management unit is mountable to a support structure through the first segment of the base, and wherein the first and second segments of the base provide a fiber routing track for optical fibers; and
a tray pivotably attached to a free end of the second segment of the base such that the tray is transferable between a first position in which the fiber routing track of the first segment is closed and a second position in which the fiber routing track of the first segment is opened when the tray is pivoted around a first axis, and wherein the tray is transferable between the second position in which the fiber routing track of the first segment is opened and a third position in which the fiber routing track of the first segment is also opened when the tray is pivoted around a second axis running perpendicular to the first axis.

Abstract
A fiber optic management unit for handling optical fibers unit having a base with first and second segments miming perpendicular to each other. A tray is pivotably attached to the second segment such that the tray is transferable between a first position in which the fiber routing track of the first segment is closed and a second position in which the fiber routing track of the first segment is opened when the tray is pivoted around a first axis, and wherein the tray is transferable between the second position in which the fiber routing track of the first segment is opened and a third position in which the fiber routing track of the first segment is also opened when the tray is pivoted around a second axis running perpendicular to the first axis.

14. A fiber optic distribution device, comprising:
a plurality of fiber optic management units, wherein each of the plurality of fiber management units comprises, a base having first and second segments running perpendicular to each other, wherein the fiber optic management unit is mountable to a support structure through the first segment of the base, and wherein the first and second segments of the base provide a fiber routing track for optical fibers; and a tray pivotably attached to a free end of the second segment of the base such that the tray is transferable between a first position in which the fiber routing track of the first segment is closed and a second position in which the fiber routing track of the first segment is opened when the tray is pivoted around a first axis, and wherein the tray is transferable between the second position in which the fiber routing track of the first segment is opened and a third position in which the fiber routing track of the first segment is also opened when the tray is pivoted around a second axis running perpendicular to the first axis, and wherein the fiber optic management units are positioned side by side providing an array of trays when all trays are in the first position and allowing individual access to the trays by pivoting the same successively around the first axis and then around the second axis.
