The present disclosure relates to a re-enterable enclosure for a fiber optic network. The enclosure can include features such as a low compression-force perimeter gasket, cable seals constructed to seal effectively seal triple points, multi-function port size reducer plugs and multi-function blind plugs.

An optical fiber distribution system may include a housing that includes an end cap unit, a main cabinet unit, and a fiber termination unit. The main cabinet unit may have a door that opens to provide access to the interior of the main cabinet unit, which may include a plurality of cassettes in a stacked arrangement within the main cabinet unit. The cassettes may be rotatably coupled to a cassette support so that, when the door is open, the cassettes may be individually rotated at least partially out of the main cabinet unit to provide access to the cassettes for maintenance. The fiber distribution system may be mountable to a strand so that the system hangs in a suspended state, and a plurality of the main cabinet units may be coupled to one another in a cascading fashion to provide increased cassette capacity.

The present disclosure describes an optical fiber splice closure for joining two fiber optic cables. The optical fiber splice closure comprises a strain relief assembly that securely holds the two fiber optic cables being connected, and an enclosure that houses the strain relief assembly. The configuration of the strain relief assembly allows for securing the two fiber optic cables in a compact space, thus permitting a compact enclosure of the optical fiber splice closure, while also providing quick and easy installation in the field. A method of installing fiber optic cables using the optical fiber splice closure is also disclosed. The optical fiber splice closure and ease of installation also facilitates repairing damaged fiber optic cable. A method of repairing existing fiber optic cable is disclosed.

A telecommunications chassis comprises a cable sealing portion defining at least one cable opening configured to sealably receive a cable and a module mounting portion extending from the cable sealing portion, which further comprises a housing defining an open front closable by a door to define an interior, a rear wall, a right wall, and a left wall. A plurality of module mounting locations is provided in a vertically stacked arrangement, each configured to receive a telecommunications module through the open front. An exterior of the housing includes a first column of radius limiters defining curved profiles for guiding cables from the front toward the rear with bend control. A second column of radius limiters in the form of spools is spaced apart and generally parallel to the first column of radius limiters and a third column of radius limiters, at least some of which are in the form of spools, is also spaced apart and generally parallel to the first and second columns of radius limiters. The rear wall defines an opening for accessing from the exterior of the housing rear ends of modules to be mounted in the housing for signal input, wherein the exterior also includes a plate at least partially overlapping the opening for protection of cables entering the opening.

Embodiments provide a splice closure and a method for installing an optical cable. The splice closure includes a closure body, a cable accommodating tray, a nut component, an abutting member, and an elastic member. The abutting member is located between an optical cable and the nut component, and the elastic member is located between the optical cable and an installation tube. When the nut component is screwed to an externally threaded section of the installation tube by using threads of an internally threaded section, the abutting member abuts the elastic member, so that the elastic member elastically deforms under an abutting effect of the abutting member, so as to cause an inner circumferential wall of the elastic member that elastically deforms to abut the optical cable, and an outer circumferential wall of the elastic member that elastically deforms to abut an inner circumferential wall of the installation tube.

A cable termination unit is provided to clamp a cable separately from a telecommunications closure and then mounted to a telecommunications closure. The cable termination unit includes a body which has a strength member clamp portion for mounting a strength member of a cable and a jacket clamp portion for mounting a cable jacket. The jacket clamp portion is configured to selectively engage different jacket mount devices.

In a first embodiment, cable sealing device is described herein for use in a port structure of fiber terminal, telecommunication enclosure, or a bulkhead. The exemplary cable sealing device comprises a unibody construction comprising a rigid body portion, the rigid portion having a generally tubular shape that includes an interior passageway extend from a first end to a second end of the rigid body portion; and an elastomeric body portion over molded onto and extending from an end of the rigid body portion, the elastomeric body portion comprises a front end having an interior sleeve that extends into interior passageway at the second end of rigid body portion and an exterior sealing sleeve that is formed over the second end of rigid body portion, and a closed end disposed opposite the open end, wherein the closed end includes a removable portion.

Devices, assemblies and methods for fixing telecommunications cables. The cable fixation assemblies include cable support bodies adapted to anchor yarn strength members. A rod strength member adapter can be coupled to the cable support body to anchor a rod strength member such that the same cable support body is adapted to fix both a cable having a yarn strength member and a cable having a rod strength member.

A telecommunications chassis comprises a cable sealing portion defining at least one cable opening configured to sealably receive a cable and a module mounting portion extending from the cable sealing portion, which further comprises a housing defining an open front closable by a door to define an interior, a rear wall, a right wall, and a left wall. A plurality of module mounting locations is provided in a vertically stacked arrangement, each configured to receive a telecommunications module through the open front. An exterior of the housing includes a first column of radius limiters defining curved profiles for guiding cables from the front toward the rear with bend control. A second column of radius limiters in the form of spools is spaced apart and generally parallel to the first column of radius limiters and a third column of radius limiters, at least some of which are in the form of spools, is also spaced apart and generally parallel to the first and second columns of radius limiters. The rear wall defines an opening for accessing from the exterior of the housing rear ends of modules to be mounted in the housing for signal input, wherein the exterior also includes a plate at least partially overlapping the opening for protection of cables entering the opening.

A fiber optic pigtail assembly that includes a plurality of optical fibers and at least one optical connector. The optical fibers each have a first end opposite a second end. The plurality of optical fibers are ribbonized together from the first end of each of the plurality of optical fibers partway toward the second end of each of the plurality of optical fibers and form a ribbonized end portion. The at least one optical connector is connected to the second end of each of the plurality of optical fibers. A loose portion of the plurality of optical fibers is positioned between the at least one optical connector and the ribbonized end portion.
