    Abstract: Fiber-optic equipment is often deployed in various locations, and performance of fiber-optic transmissions may be monitored as a gauge of equipment status to prevent costly and inconvenient communication outages. Events that damage equipment that eventually result in outage and may be desirable to address proactively, but the occurrence of such events may be difficult to detect only through equipment performance Presented herein are techniques for monitoring and maintaining fiber-optic equipment performance via enclosure sensors that measure physical properties within a fiber-optic equipment enclosure, such as temperature, pressure, light, motion, vibration, and moisture, which are often diagnostic and predictive of causes of eventual communication outages, such as temperature-induced cable loss (TICL), incomplete flash-testing during installation, exposure to hazardous environmental conditions, and tampering. An enclosure sensor package transmits the physical measurements to a monitoring station, and automatic determination of enclosure-related events may enable triaging and transmission of repair alerts to maintenance personnel.

    Abstract: A cable enclosure includes a housing defining an opening through which an interior of the housing is accessible. The cable enclosure also includes an end plate assembly that, when attached to the housing, covers the opening such that the interior of the housing is not accessible. The cable enclosure further includes a mechanism attached to at least one of the housing or the end plate assembly and that selectively attaches the end plate assembly to the housing. When the mechanism in a first position, the end plate assembly is attached to the housing and when the mechanism is in a second position, the end plate assembly is not attached to the housing.

    Abstract: A closure enclosing and protecting at least one line splice holder. The closure includes a first housing portion enclosing at least a portion of a hollow interior of the closure, the at least one line splice holder being located within the hollow interior. The first housing portion has a portal through which plural lines extend into the hollow interior. The closure includes a second housing portion actuatable with respect to the first housing portion to provide an additional portion of the hollow interior. The additional portion of the hollow interior is a volume to receive additional of the at least one line splice holder. The closure includes a coupling for connecting the second housing portion to the first housing portion.

    Abstract: A clamp for suspending a wire includes a housing having an inner support surface. The wire is disposed between the inner support surface and a keeper. The clamp further includes a fastening unit, including a first fastener and a second fastener attachable to the first fastener. The housing defines an opening extending in a direction along which the wire is received within the housing. After the second fastener is attached to the first fastener, the fastening unit is not removable from the housing. The fastening unit is movable, within the opening, between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the fastening unit cooperates with the keeper to decrease a distance between the inner support surface and the keeper. In the second position, the fastening unit does not cooperate with the keeper to decrease the distance.

    Abstract: A tangent clamp includes a body to be supported by a structure and to permit cables to proceed along a tangential direction relative to the structure. The tangent clamp may include at least one actuatable clamping portion associated with the body to support a respective one of the cables. The body is configured to permit at least one additional actuatable clamping portion to be provided upon the body. The tangent clamp may include a plurality of separately actuatable clamping portions associated with the body. The body may be provided as multiple portions. The multiple portions are relatively movable to permit the body to be mounted upon the structure.

    Abstract: A cable spacer for maintaining positions of a plurality of cables relative to each other is provided. The cable spacer includes a frame, a hanger and a plurality of clamps that couple the plurality of cables to the frame to maintain the positions of the plurality of cables relative to each other. A first clamp includes a receiver with a first arcuate surface, and a keeper that is adjustably coupled to the receiver to be adjusted from a first position to a second position to interfere with removal of the region of the first cable from the first concave pocket. A locking system adjusts the keeper from the first position to the second position relative to the receiver, and maintains the keeper in the second position to exert a compressive force on the first cable, urging the first cable into the first concave pocket.

    Abstract: One or more line spacers for installation onto lines are provided. A spacer includes an end portion configured to transition between an open state and a closed state. The spacer includes a first mating portion. The spacer includes a second mating portion configured to mate with the first mating portion to maintain the end portion in the closed state. The spacer is installed on a line of the lines when the end portion is associated with the line and maintained in the closed state.
