A device for transporting fiber, wires or cables from the rear of a chassis to the front includes an armature member mounted to pivot in a plane parallel to the top of the housing. The armature is pivotable between a first position in which a first end is proximate an aperture in the rear of the housing and a second position in which the end of said first arm proximate the front of the chassis. A second arm is provided to actuate the armature, with the second arm being accessible from the front of said chassis when said armature is in the first position. A signal carrying medium may thus be connected to the end of first arm and readily transported through to the front of the chassis. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Shown in FIG.
1 is an implementation of the present invention in a telecommunications chassis 10.
Chassis 10 has a front end 10a, a rear end 10b, sides 10c and 10c, a top 10e and a bottom 10f, chassis 10 contains telecommunications equipment in the form of a plurality of modules 12.
In the illustrative implementation of the invention described herein, modules 12 comprise relay circuits for relaying fiber optic signals.
Each of modules 12 are slidably mounted in chassis 10 and fastened in place in the chassis with a pair of captive screws inserted through the top and bottom of the front panel of each module.
Thus, the modules may be unfastened from the front of the chassis and slid out, as shown with respect to module 12'.
A horizontally oriented screw mounted panel cover 60 is provided to cover the space above modules 12 on the front end 10a of chassis 10.
As shown with respect to module 12', each of the modules 12 include first and second couplers 20 and 21 for connection to a pair of fiber optic cables 23 and 24.
Cables 23 and 24 are fed through an aperture 30 in the rear of the chassis, whereby the fiber optic signals carried on one of the fibers can be amplified and relayed to the other through the circuitry contained in the modules 12.
Chassis 10 includes an open space 40 between the top cover 41 of chassis 10 and a card guide and mounting bracket 43 which is mounted inside chassis 10 spaced down from cover 41.
The signal carrying medium, fiber cable in the specific example given herein, is fed through space 40 from the aperture 30 in the rear of the chassis to the connectors 20,21.
According to the present invention, there is provided an armature 50 which can be used to feed or fish the signal carrying medium from the aperture 30 in the rear of chassis 10 to the front of the chassis.
Armature 50 is pivotably mounted in the corner 52 of housing 10, to rotate between a first position, shown in solid lines, to a second position shown in phantom lines (50')
