摘要： A fiber optic adapter assembly is provided that sealingly mounts to a telecommunications enclosure. The adapter assembly mounts to a communications enclosure such that one of two fiber optic connectors is received into the adapter assembly outside of the enclosure and the other fiber optic connector is engaged into the adapter assembly inside of the enclosure. The enclosure is pressurized at a predetermined level, and the adapter assembly is configured to maintain the pressure within the enclosure when the adapter assembly mounts to the enclosure.

摘要： A dust cap and a dust plug for installation with optical fiber connectors and optical fiber adapters respectively. The dust cap and the dust plug have features that protect an optical interface on the optical fiber connector and the optical fiber adapter from contamination. At least an exterior portion of the dust cap and the dust plug illuminate when installed on the optical fiber connector and the optical fiber adapter terminating an optical fiber transmitting visible light. The dust cap and the dust plug have features that reduce the intensity of a high power optical signal emitted from the optical fiber terminated by the optical fiber connector and optical fiber adapter. A first embodiment diffracts the optical signal, thereby reducing its intensity. A second embodiment disburses the optical signal, thereby reducing its intensity. A third embodiment absorbs high power frequencies of the optical signal and transmits certain visible frequencies. The dust cap and the dust plug function as a safe, visual fiber optic circuit continuity detector.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to a drop cable assembly including a fiber optic drop cable having a length that extends from a first end of the fiber optic drop cable to an opposite second end of the fiber optic drop cable. The fiber optic drop cable also includes an intermediate location located between the first and second ends of the fiber optic drop cable. The drop cable assembly also includes a first fiber optic connector mounted at the first end of the fiber optic drop cable and a second fiber optic connector mounted at the second end of the fiber optic drop cable. The drop cable assembly further includes an optical fiber that extends continuously without splicing along the length of the fiber optic drop cable from the first fiber optic connector to the second fiber optic connector. The fiber optic drop cable has a first cable segment that extends from the first end of the fiber optic drop cable to the intermediate location and a second cable segment that extends from the intermediate location to the second end of the fiber optic drop cable. The first cable segment is more robust than the second cable segment and the second cable segment being more flexible than the first cable segment. The present disclosure also relates t methods and arrangements for mechanically attaching fiber optic connectors to drop cables of the type described above.
