摘要:
This disclosure describes techniques for attaching a connector to a fiber optic cable. As described herein, lengthwise slits are made into the jacket and the buffer tube of a fiber optic cable, thereby exposing interior segments of the optical fibers of the fiber optic cable. A loop is then made in the fiber optic cable at the slits. The ends of the optical fibers can then telescopically slide out the end of the fiber optic cable. When this happens, the exposed interior segments of the optical fibers slide out of the buffer tube and the jacket through the slits, forming a smaller loop within the loop. A connector may then be attached to the exposed ends of the optical fibers. When the fiber optic cable is unlooped, the exposed interior segments of the optical fibers slide back into the buffer tube and jacket. The jacket may then be resealed.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to a wall box adapted to be mounted at a mid-span access location of a fiber optic telecommunications cable. The wall box includes an enclosure having a main body with an open front side. The enclosure also includes a front cover for opening and closing the open front side of the main body. The wall box defining first and second cable entrance/exit openings positioned at opposite sides of the enclosure. The main body defines an open region through an exterior wall of the main body. The open region extends from the first cable entrance/exit opening to the second cable entrance/exit opening. The enclosure also includes a cable cover that is mounted to the main body to cover the open region. The cable cover is a separate component from the front cover.
