Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
A sealing apparatus includes a carrier and sealant contained by the carrier. An enclosure interface includes first and second pieces and defines one or more sealing channels that the sealing apparatus may be positioned within. The first piece defines an opening that has a perimeter sealed by the sealing apparatus. When the first and second pieces are mounted together, the sealant forms a first interface seal with the first piece and a second interface seal with the second piece. The one or more sealing channels are interconnected by one or more junction sections that include a volume of sealant. The carrier may define first and second channels that respectively contain first and second volumes of sealant. The method for making the sealing apparatus may include extruding the first and second volumes of sealant into the first and second channels.

A glass fiber reinforced wall for a fiber optic cable enclosure having variable wall thicknesses between stiffening ribs to improve durability against impact loads.
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure relate to a telecommunications enclosure. The telecommunications enclosure includes a housing with an interior. The housing includes a port sleeve which defines a cable port for routing a cable into the interior of the housing. The enclosure additionally includes a cable stabilizer that fits within the port sleeve. The cable stabilizer includes a cable anchoring portion configured to allow the cable to be secured thereto within the port sleeve.
Abstract:
An enclosure includes a housing having an elongate length between first and second ends, the housing defining a cable pass-through location at a first end, the housing including a first housing piece and a second housing piece that pivotally couple together at the first end of the housing. Each housing piece carries a respective cable sealant module that compress together as the housing is closed. A sealing projection on one of the housing pieces inhibits gel of the sealant modules from extruding into a perimeter seal of the housing.

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to telecommunications enclosures that can be customizable to meet customer needs. A telecommunications enclosure can be customized to included added security as desired. That is, a modular security lock may be utilized as an add-on feature for telecommunications enclosures.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to grounding assemblies for cables entering telecommunications enclosures. The grounding assemblies include a grounding attachment interface, a strength member fixation mount, and first and second cable fixation mounts that are electrically coupled together to ground strength members and a conductive shield of a cable.
Abstract:
A tray assembly for a fiber optic system to organize optical fibers. The tray assembly includes a backbone structure with a plurality of backbone segments that are connected together and are positioned along an expansion/contraction axis of the backbone structure. The tray assembly also includes a stack of fiber management trays that are connected to the backbone structure. Each of the fiber management trays are pivotally connected to the backbone segments at a pivot axis. The backbone segments are moveable relative to one another along the expansion/contraction axis to allow the backbone structure to be moved between an expanded state and a contracted state.
Abstract:
An arrangement for a fiber optic distribution network includes a fiber management tray having a first major side and an opposite second major side. The arrangement also includes a fiber optic cable including optical fibers. The fiber optic cable has first and second jacketed sections and an unjacketed mid-span access location positioned between the first and second jacketed sections. The unjacketed mid-span access location can be managed by the fiber management tray with drop splicing being performed at the first major side of the tray and the remainder of the fiber management and splicing being performed at the second major side of the tray.
