A splice closure apparatus and a fiber optic distribution network are provided. The splice closure apparatus includes a housing forming a plenum and an opening. A mount plate is affixed in the plenum within the housing, A signal splitter device is affixed to the mount plate. A fiber optic cable stub is extended through the opening of the housing. The cable stub includes an input optical fiber operably connected to the signal splitter device. The cable stub includes an output optical fiber operably connected to the signal splitter device.

A cable management system including a plurality of separably interconnectable clips. Each clip has a plurality of longitudinally extending cells, the cells forming cable channels having open longitudinal ends and an open bottom side, the cable channels arranged side-by-side in a one-dimensional array. Each cell is adapted and configured to receive and retain a corresponding cable of a slightly smaller diameter than that of its cable channel. The clips interconnect in a vertically stacked series to form a clip stack, the one-dimensional cable channel arrays of the clips in the clip stack thus being arrayed vertically to form a two-dimensional cable channel array. Cells without a clip connected below retain corresponding cables with a clearance to permit longitudinal sliding. Cables retained in a clip with a clip connected below are clamped between the cells that retain them and impinging contact regions of a top side of the below clip.

An optical fiber cable assembly comprising an optical fiber slidably enclosed within a hollow tubing, both the fiber and the tubing having corresponding first and second ends. The cable is terminated with the first and second ends of the tubing and the fiber constrained with respect to each other such that fiber and the tubing are approximately the same length when the cable is at a first temperature. The tubing is made of a material which contracts more than the optical fiber when the cable is exposed to temperatures below the first temperature, such that the fiber is longer than the tubing and excess fiber length is formed. An intermediate portion of the tubing permits the excess fiber length to accumulate without bending in a radius smaller than a minimum bend radius

A high density fiber enclosure system includes a chassis, cassette trays, an optional unification clip, cassettes, and an optional trunk cable management system. The chassis, cassette trays, and cassettes are configured such that individual cassettes may be installed, removed, and otherwise positioned for easy access by a user. The unification clip allows two adjacent cassette trays to be connected to one other such that cassette trays move as one unit. The trunk cable management system is designed to organize trunk cables and trunk cable furcation legs as well as relieve strain on the trunk cables and trunk cable furcation legs.

Multiports having connection ports with securing features that cooperate with flexures and methods for making the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, a multiport comprises a shell, at least one connection port, at least one flexure and at least one securing feature. The at least one connection port comprises an optical connector opening and a connection port passageway, and the at least one flexure is associated with the at least one connection port. The at least one securing feature is associated with the at least one connection port, where the at least one securing feature cooperates with the at least one flexure.

A telecommunication enclosure includes an environmentally sealed housing having an interior volume. The sealed enclosure includes a housing wall defining an opening that extends from the interior to an exterior of the enclosure, the housing wall defining interior threads within the opening. A port-defining element mounts within the opening, the port-defining element defining exterior threads that are threadingly mated with respect to the interior threads to retain the port-defining element within the opening. The port-defining element defines a connector port for receiving a hardened fiber optic connector.

An apparatus including a first ferrule, a second ferrule and a tracing fiber. The first ferrule may comprise a cap. The second ferrule may comprise the cap. The tracing fiber may be configured to propagate light from the first ferrule to the second ferrule. The first ferrule may enable the light to be directed into the tracing fiber when the cap is removed. The cap of the second ferrule may be configured to scatter the light to provide an omnidirectional emission of the light from the second ferrule. The tracing fiber may be bundled with one or more data carrying lines in a cable. Each of the data carrying lines may be configured to enable a communication of data. The tracing fiber may be configured to propagate the light without interrupting the communication of data.

A cable sealing device including an attaching part securable to the cable; a fixation part adapted to be mountable on the attaching part; and a sealing part. The attaching part includes outer locking faces. The fixation part has inner abutment faces adapted to co-operate with the outer locking faces to axially and rotationally lock the fixation part relative to the attaching part. The sealing part includes an inner seal and an outer seal. The sealing part also includes a second securing arrangement that is configured to engage a first securing arrangement of the fixation part to axially and rotationally lock the sealing part to the fixation part.

An apparatus includes a body with an opening through the body, the opening corresponding to dimensions of a cable to be connected to a circuit board and a flat surface to abut the circuit board. The apparatus further includes one or more attachment mechanisms to attach the body to the circuit board.

A cable storage container may include a base portion having a cavity and a base opening portion, a cover portion that may be configured to be attached to the base portion so as to cover the base opening portion, and a module portion that may be configured to be removed from and replaced in the base portion. The module portion may include a plurality of cable bundle receptacles that each may be configured to receive a portion of a cable bundle, and each two adjacent ones of the cable bundle receptacles may be separated by a separating wall portion, and the module portion may be configured to support the cable bundle in one of the cable bundle receptacles so as to restrict the cable bundle from expanding and interfering with contents of the base portion.
