OPTICAL TERMINATION AND DERIVATION BOX
The box has a base (10) and a (20) which is hinged to the base (10 and displaceable between a closed position and an open position. At least one peripheral wall (12) of the base (10) is provided with at least two lateral openings (13) each being flanked by two inclined recesses (13a/13b) and each closed by a sealing grommet (30) for the passage of at least one multi-fiber optical cable (CO) and which is pressed into the lateral opening (13) to receive thereon a sealing gasket (24) carried by the lid (20). A splitter accommodation tray (60) has a front face (61) attached to the top wall (21) of the lid (20) and carrying splitter and/or fiber accommodation means (MSF), and a rear face (62) covered by a splitter protective plate (PS). Each splitter and/or fiber accommodation means (MSF) is connectable to a fiber extension (EF1) of an optical cable (CO) received in the base (10) and to fiber extensions (EF2) connected to output adapters (AS) mounted. on at least one peripheral wall (22) of the lid (20) and externally connected to connectors (C) of terminal cables (CT).
Cable sealing device
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.
CABLE SEALING ARRANGEMENT FOR AN ENCLOSURE
The present disclosure relates to sealing arrangements for sealing locations where cables enter/exit enclosures. The sealing arrangements can include first and second cable sealing modules each including a cable sealing surface. The cable sealing surfaces of the first and second cable sealing modules oppose and contact one another at a cable pass-through sealing interface. The sealing arrangements can be adapted to enhance cable diameter range-taking, sealant conformability, and/or sealant recovery from deformation.
Optical fiber distribution systems and components
Fiber distribution systems, terminals and tap boxes that provide a reconfigurable and expandable system of hardened connections. An aerial terminal may include at least one feeder port and a plurality of distribution ports, each of the at least one feeder port and the plurality of distribution ports being sealable ports configured to receive one of a duct and a connector, where the connector is configured to interface with a drop type cable. The terminal may include an expandable module configured to receive a splitter. The terminal may be configured to receive a fiber through the feeder port and to output a plurality of fibers through the plurality of distribution ports.
Pass-through assembly having an anchor member and a cover
Anchoring an input cable (190) at an input port (123, 223) of an enclosure (110) includes inserting the input cable (190) through an anchor member (151, 251) so that a cable jacket (191) terminates within the anchor member (151, 251) and at least one optical fiber (195) extends outwardly from the anchor member (151, 251). The anchor member (151, 251) is secured to the cable jacket (191) using the sheath (175). A cover (162, 260) is mounted to the anchor member (151, 251) to form a pass-through assembly (150, 250) defining an enclosed region. Material is injected into the enclosed region to fix strength members (197) and/or optical fibers (195) of the input cable (190) to the pass-through assembly (150, 250). The ruggedized pass-through assembly (150, 250) is disposed at a base (120, 220) of the enclosure (110).
CAM-BASED FORCE-CONTROLLED SYSTEM FOR SEAL ACTIVATION
A cam-based, force-controlled system for seal activation includes a plurality of sealing segment assemblies. Each sealing segment assemblies includes an inner segment and an outer segment assembly configured to mate with the inner segment. The inner segment includes an upper segment portion, a lower segment portion, and an inner segment seal disposed between the upper segment portion and the lower segment portion. The outer segment assembly includes an upper segment element, and outer perimeter element, an outer segment seal disposed between the upper segment element and the outer perimeter seal, a rod coupled to the upper segment element, a first cam coupled to the upper segment element, a second cam coupled to the upper segment element, and a handle coupled to the rod, the first cam, and the second cam.
COMPRESSION MECHANISMS FOR CABLE SEALING ON CLOSURES
A lever mechanism for sealing a telecommunications closure includes a plurality of hinge elements; a leveraging element extending upwardly from each hinge element; an arm section extending from the leveraging element; a biasing element downwardly extending from the arm section; and a handle coupled to the biasing element such that upon application of a compressive force to at least a portion of the handle, each hinge element, each leveraging element, each arm section, and each biasing element moves, allowing the lever mechanism to change from a non-actuated position to an actuated position. The lever mechanism is further configured to couple with a spring-activated element and environmentally seal the telecommunications closure.
COMPOSITE CABLE SEAL
The present disclosure relates to a composite cable seal for use in a telecommunications enclosure. The composite cable seal includes a frame material and a sealing material. The frame material can be configured to control positioning of the sealing material, and to prevent the sealing material from being over-compressed. The sealing material can be configured to provide effective sealing at a cable port and to provide effective sealing with respect to the enclosure (e.g., at a triple point of the enclosure).
Sealing Unit
A sealing unit (210) for cables extending into an enclosure comprising telecommunications equipment. The sealing unit (210) comprising a gasket (101) having an elongate section (110) of resilient material comprising a plurality of apertures (120), wherein each aperture is arranged to receive a cable (300). The elongate section (110) comprises slots (130) connecting the apertures to a lateral edge (150) of the elongate section. The apertures (120) are arranged in a two-dimensional array.
Fiber optic cable sealing device
Disclosed herein are cable sealing devices having features for enhancing effective sealing, volume compensation, seal pressurization, cable size range-taking, cable installation and insert installation. Also disclosed herein is an enclosure including at least one cable sealing device.
