ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber interconnecting and distributing box includes a base, a cover, and a movable pivotable panel dividing the box into two compartments. Rack-mounted connectors each connect an end section of a first optical fiber from an array of cables to an end section of a second optical fiber from another array of cables. The base contains practically circular flat loops of the first fibers that enter the first compartment through holes in a base wall. The cover contains the connectors. End sections of the first fibers run through an aperture in the panel. The second fibers are arranged as circular flat loops and have end portions entering the second compartment through sides of the cover. The first fibers are intended to be pre-wired, i.e. each first fiber is definitively ascribed to a connector. Distributing involves withdrawing the end section of a second fiber that is initially inserted in a connector into another connector. In one embodiment, the panel carries two racks for connecting the first and second optical fibers via optical fiber jumpers.
