Patent ID: 8666216

Claim:
A telecommunications trough coupler comprising: a coupling member to adjustably couple and bridge a portion of a gap between a first trough and a second trough arranged alongside the first trough, the coupling member having: a passageway base disposed between first and second passageway walls defining the fiber passageway, the passageway base having a convex passageway side to adjustably couple with the first trough and a planar passageway side extending distal to the convex passageway side and bridging a portion of the gap separating the first trough from the second trough; another coupling member to adjustably couple with the second trough and bridge another portion of the gap separating the first trough from the second trough; an extension member having a passageway base disposed between first and second passageway walls defining the fiber passageway, the extension member to adjustably couple the coupling member with the other coupling member, the extension member bridging a remaining portion of the gap separating the first trough from the second trough; and wherein the first and second troughs are substantially within a plane and the extension member, the coupling member, and the other coupling member are substantially within another plane parallel to the plane of the first and second troughs.
