Abstract:
An optic fiber system for mounting in a rack, cassette and front plate are disclosed. A fiber optic cassette receives a pair of opposed rails on opposite inner surfaces of a housing. Catches on the fiber optic cassette comprise biased tabs which engage grooves within the rails thereby releasable securing the cassette into the housing. Catches may be provided at both ends of the cassette allowing the cassette to be inserted from either end of the housing. The cassette comprises removeable front plate which is secured to it using a snap fit. The removeable plate can be used either with the cassette or as a standalone within the housing.

Claim (Index 10):
An optic fiber dual direction cassette for use with a rack mounted case comprising a housing defining a first opening at a first end and a second opening at a second end and comprising a first inner surface and a second inner surface and a plurality of first rails arranged in parallel along the first inner surface between the first opening and the second opening and a plurality of second rails arranged in parallel along the second inner surface between the first opening and the second opening, one of each of the first rails arranged opposite a respective one of the second rails and wherein at least one of the first rails and the second rails comprises a rail groove running along a length thereof, the cassette comprising:\n an elongate housing comprising a long first edge and a long second edge; a first rail receiving slot in said long first edge; a second rail receiving slot in said long second edge; at least two catches each comprising a rail groove engaging tab and a flexible actuator; a first of said catches is positioned towards a first end of one of said first rail receiving slot and said second rail receiving slot; and a second of said catches is positioned towards a second end of one of said first rail receiving slot and said second rail receiving slot; wherein the cassette is insertable into the housing from either the first end or the second end by positioning a short edge of the cassette adjacent a respective first and second rail pair and sliding said first rail receiving slot in a sliding direction over the respective first rail and said second rail slot over the second rail until an engaging surface of each of said tabs of said catches is biased into their respective rail groove and abuts against their respective ends of their respective rail groove.
