Abstract:
1. A device for routing fiber optic jumpers from a horizontally oriented raceway, the device comprising: a hood conduit; a curved neck conduit; a vertical body conduit; the hood conduit being connected to a first end of the curved neck conduit and the vertical body conduit being connected to a second end of the curved neck conduit to form a routing conduit assembly; each conduit having a slit for receiving jumpers, the slits being aligned with one another when the conduits form the routing conduit assembly; and a connector for connecting the vertical body conduit to a horizontally oriented raceway in order to mount the routing conduit assembly to the raceway such that the hood conduit is positioned above the raceway; wherein the slits of the conduits receive jumpers from the raceway for the routing conduit assembly to enclose and route the jumpers to and from the raceway for connection with fiber optic equipment located below the raceway such that the jumpers transition between horizontal and vertical orientations while maintaining a minimum bend radius.
