摘要:
A fiber optic cable system includes a fiber optic main cable having a strength member and a plurality of optical fibers extending therein within an outer cable sheath. A flexible longitudinally extending inner housing is positioned proximate the plurality of optical fibers on a section of the main cable having the outer cable sheath removed. At least one fiber optic drop cable has at least one optical fiber having an end portion extending outwardly from an end of the drop cable. The end portion is spliced together with an end portion of a corresponding at least one severed end portion of one of the plurality of optical fibers of the main cable to define at least one spliced together fiber portion coupling at least one of the plurality of optical fibers of the main cable to a corresponding one of the at least one fiber of the drop cable. A longitudinally extending outer protective housing extends over the section of the main cable having the outer cable sheath removed and the inner housing and the strength member. The outer protective housing has a first opening receiving the main cable and a second opening, longitudinally displaced from the first opening, receiving the main cable and at least one of the openings receiving the drop cable or cables.

According to embodiments of the present invention, a cable sealing assembly for providing an environmental seal about a cable includes a housing, a flowable cable sealant and a compression feature. The housing includes first and second housing parts. The first housing part defines a cable passage to receive a cable having a lengthwise cable axis. The cable sealant is disposed in the cable passage. The compression feature forms at least a part of the second housing part and is movable in an installation direction between a ready position and an installed position. The compression feature is shaped and configured to force the cable sealant to flow about the cable in a direction transverse to the cable axis to circumferentially surround a portion of the cable when the compression feature is moved from the ready position to the installed position.

An optical fiber termination apparatus includes a housing defining an optical fiber receiving chamber and having a connector adaptor receiving opening. A connector adaptor is positioned in the connector adaptor receiving opening. The connector adaptor has a connector opening therein extending from outside the housing to the optical fiber receiving chamber. The connector opening is configured to mate with a connector of a predetermined connector type. Methods of terminating optical fiber using optical fiber termination apparatus are also provided.

An optical fiber termination apparatus for taut sheath splicing includes a housing configured to be positioned around a section of an optical fiber cable with an uncut strength member of the optical fiber cable or a plurality of uncut and un-looped optical fibers extending therethrough. The housing has a first opening at a first end thereof for receiving the optical fiber cable and a second opening at a longitudinally displaced second end thereof for receiving the optical fiber cable. An optical fiber connector positioned in a wall of the housing optically couples an optical fiber from the optical fiber cable to a front fiber connection member of the optical fiber connector accessible from outside the housing. Methods of terminating optical fiber using optical fiber termination apparatus are also provided.

An enclosure system for receiving a cable includes an enclosure having an inner chamber and an open position exposing the inner chamber and a closed position covering the inner chamber. A cable receiving port in a wall of the enclosure extends along a longitudinal axis from outside of the enclosure into the inner chamber. The cable receiving port is configured to receive a cable therein when the cable is advanced axially into the port without rotation of the cable when the enclosure is in the closed position. A mating member is associated with the cable receiving port that limits rotation of the cable when the cable is advanced axially into the port. An axial retention member is associated with the cable receiving port that limits axial movement of the cable out of the port when the cable is advanced axially into the port to a lock position.

A fiber optic cable system includes a fiber optic main cable having a strength member and a plurality of optical fibers extending therein within an outer cable sheath. A flexible longitudinally extending inner housing is positioned proximate the plurality of optical fibers on a section of the main cable having the outer cable sheath removed. At least one fiber optic drop cable has at least one optical fiber having an end portion extending outwardly from an end of the drop cable. The end portion is spliced together with an end portion of a corresponding at least one severed end portion of one of the plurality of optical fibers of the main cable to define at least one spliced together fiber portion coupling at least one of the plurality of optical fibers of the main cable to a corresponding one of the at least one fiber of the drop cable. A longitudinally extending outer protective housing extends over the section of the main cable having the outer cable sheath removed and the inner housing and the strength member. The outer protective housing has a first opening receiving the main cable and a second opening, longitudinally displaced from the first opening, receiving the main cable and at least one of the openings receiving the drop cable or cables.

A cable enclosure for use with a cable having a lengthwise cable axis, an outer jacket and a transmission media within the outer jacket, includes a housing assembly and a strain relief structure on the housing assembly. The housing assembly defines a chamber and a cable port. The housing assembly is configured to receive the cable. The strain relief structure includes a pair of opposed engagement structures defining a cable slot therebetween. At least one of the engagement structures includes a blade edge flanking the cable slot. The cable enclosure is configured to receive the cable such that the cable extends through the cable port and into the chamber and a portion of the cable is received in the cable slot such that the at least one blade edge cuts into the outer jacket to resist withdrawal of the cable from the chamber through the cable port.
