    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic connector assembly having a fiber optic connector including a main connector body and a rear insert secured within a rear cable termination end of the main connector body. The fiber optic connector assembly has a fiber optic cable that includes an optical fiber, a strength layer and an outer jacket. The optical fiber has a ferrule-less end portion accessible at a front mating end of the main connector body. A first shape recoverable sleeve secures the optical fiber to a substrate anchored to the rear insert. An axial gap exists between the forward end of the outer jacket and the rearward end of the rear insert. A second shape recoverable sleeve secures the outer jacket to the rear insert. An adhesive material at least partially fills the axial gap.

    Abstract: A support frame (10) for a cabling trunk assembly (1) is disclosed. In one embodiment, the support frame (10) has a main body (11) defining a mounting surface (41), and a first extension leg (50) extending along a first side edge (42) of the main body (11) and away from the mounting surface (41). Similarly, the support frame (10) can be provided with a second extension leg (52) that extends along a second side edge (44) of the main body (11) and away from the mounting surface (41). The extension legs (50, 52) may be provided with tabs (54, 56) to provide a secure connection with receiving grooves (28, 29) on a channel (12) of the cabling trunk assembly (1). The extension legs (50, 52) may also be configured to provide a snap-fit connection with the receiving grooves (28, 29).

    Abstract: A self-centering structure (300) for aligning optical fibers (308) desired to be optically coupled together is disclosed. The self-centering structure (300) including a body (310) having a first end (312) and a second end (314). The first end (312) defines a first opening (303) and the second end (314) defines a second opening (304). The self-centering structure (300) includes a plurality of groove structures (306) integrally formed in the body (310) of the self-centering structure for receiving the optical fibers (308) and a fiber alignment region (305) positioned at an intermediate location between the first and second ends (312, 314) to facilitate centering and alignment of the optical fibers (308). The self-centering structure (300) further includes a plurality of cantilever members (322) arranged and configured on opposing sides of the fiber alignment region (305). Each of the plurality of cantilever members (322) are aligned with a respective one of the plurality of groove structures (306). The plurality of cantilever members (322) include a first plurality of cantilever members (322a) adjacent the first end (312) of the self-centering structure (300) and a second plurality of cantilever members (322b) adjacent the second end (314) of the self-centering structure (300). The plurality of cantilever members (322) is flexible and configured for urging the optical fibers (308) into their respective groove structures (306).

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cable sealing device (30) for providing a seal around a communications cable (88, 90). The cable sealing device (30) includes a cable seal arrangement (38) positioned between first and second compression plates (92F, 92R). The cable sealing device (30) also includes an actuator (36) for compressing the first and second compression plates (92F, 92R) together to deform the cable sealing arrangement (38) such that the cable sealing arrangement (38) is adapted to form a seal about a cable (88, 90) routed through the cable sealing device (30). The actuator includes a cam lever (94) pivotally movable between an actuated position (P2) and a non-actuated position (P1). The actuator also includes a spring (98) for transferring load between the cam lever (94) and the first and second compression plates (92F, 92R). The spring (98) is pre-loaded when the cam lever (94) is in the non-actuated position (P1) (FIG. 13) with a pre-load equal to at least 50 percent of a total load applied through the spring (98) when the cam lever 94) is in the actuated position (P2).

    Abstract: An enclosure (20, 220) includes a housing (22, 222) and a sealing unit (48, 42a, 232) that mounts within a sealing unit opening (28, 230) of the housing. The sealing unit (48, 42a, 232) provides a peripheral seal between the housing (22, 222) and the sealing unit (48, 42a, 232) and provides seals around cable ports (50). The sealing unit (48, 42a, 232) can be mounted to and removed from the housing (222) through the sealing unit opening (28, 230). The base (26) lacks a permanent retention structure (55, 155a) at the outer end of the base (26) for retaining the sealing unit (48, 42a, 232) in the base (26). A cover (24) is removable from the base (26) without requiring the sealant arrangement (52, 236) to be de-pressurized. A fastening arrangement (55, 155a) releasably retains the sealing unit (48, 42a, 232) in the sealing unit opening (28, 230).
