TELECOMMUNICATIONS ENCLOSURE
The present disclosure discloses a telecommunications enclosure (1) and a method for coupling a cable to a cable port of the telecommunications enclosure. The latter comprises a casing (10), a base (20) adapted to be removably coupled to the casing (10), and a plurality of sealing assemblies (40) adapted to be removably coupled to the base (20). Each sealing assembly (40) comprises an elastically deformable sealing module (43) interposed between a first member (46) and a second member (58). The first member (46) and second member (58) comprise each a main portion (47, 59) and a movable portion (51, 63), wherein the movable portion (51, 63) is movable between an open position, wherein a cable is allowed to access to the elastically deformable sealing module (43), and a closed position; the elastically deformable sealing module (43) has an access (44) to allow the cable to enter the respective cable port (42) when the movable portions (51, 63) are in the open position. In the closed position, the movable portions (51, 63) are coupled to the respective main portion so as to wrap the cable. The elastically deformable sealing module (43) is held by the main portions (47, 59) while the movable portions (51, 63) are in the open position.
Butt closures and bases therefor
A butt closure base includes a base housing extending along a longitudinal axis between a first outer surface and a second outer surface, the base housing defining a plurality of cavities between the first and second outer surfaces, the plurality of cavities aligned in an annular array. A first gel is disposed in each of the plurality of cavities. The butt closure base further includes a plurality of wedge assemblies, each of the plurality of wedge assemblies removably insertable into one of the plurality of cavities. Each of the plurality of wedge assemblies includes an outer cover, a second gel, and a main pressure plate in contact with the second gel. The main pressure plate is movable along the longitudinal axis to apply pressure to the second gel.
CLOSURE
An object is to provide a closure with a structure having a drainage function to eliminate water immersion into a coated optical fiber against temporary flooding and to prevent water from continuously contacting the coated optical fiber. Another object is to provide a closure with improved workability for opening and closing.
A closure according to the present invention protects a connection part that connects a coated optical fiber enclosed in a optical fiber cable with a coated optical fiber enclosed in a optical fiber cable. The closure includes a coated optical fiber housing that divides an interior of the closure into a first space that is on a side of a road and has a main body cable insertion hole for inserting the optical fiber cables from an exterior and a second space that is on an opposite side of the road and includes the connection part. The coated optical fiber housing has a frustum shape with two bases each open and a base with a smaller area of the two bases protruding toward the side of the road. The base with the smaller area of the two bases is a cable insertion hole for inserting the optical fiber cable from the first space into the second space and is not in contact with a bottom surface of the first space on the side of the road.
Telecommunications enclosure with a separate mountable hinge
The present disclosure relates to a telecommunications enclosures that can be customizable to include a hinge. That is, a separate hinge may be utilized as an add-on feature for telecommunications enclosures. The hinge can be attached to at least two different sides of an enclosure or may not be utilized at all. Such a configuration allows for flexibility of a variety of designs for a telecommunications enclosure. The hinge can be mountable to interfaces of first and second housing pieces of an enclosure. The hinge can have rotational features and/or translational features for pivoting first and second housing pieces of an enclosure between first and second positions.
