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 1):
An optic fiber system for mounting in a rack, comprising:\n 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; a plurality of first rails arranged in parallel along said first inner surface between said first opening and said second opening and a plurality of second rails arranged in parallel along said second inner surface between said first opening and said second opening, one of each of said first rails arranged opposite a respective one of said second rails and wherein at least one of said first rails and said second rails comprises a rail groove running along a length thereof; and at least one elongate fiber optic dual direction cassette comprising a long first edge and a long second edge, said first edge comprising a first rail receiving slot and said second edge comprising a second rail receiving slot, said cassette further comprising at least two catches, each of said catches comprising a rail groove engaging tab and a flexible actuator, wherein 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 said at least one cassette is insertable into said housing from either said first end or said second end by positioning a short edge of said cassette adjacent a respective first and second rail pair and sliding said first rail receiving slot in a sliding direction over said respective first rail and said second rail slot over said second rail until said tabs are biased into their respective rail grooves and an engaging surface of each of said tabs of said catches abuts against their respective ends of their respective rail groove.
