    Abstract: A system for sealing a cable connection against external elements includes a duct, a first sealing portion and a second sealing portion. The duct has first and second ends and is configured to internally accommodate at least one cable connection element and an end of a cable. The first sealing portion is engageable to the first end of the duct such that when the first sealing portion is engaged to the first end of the duct, a watertight seal is created. The second sealing portion is engageable to the second end of the duct such that when the second sealing portion is engaged to the second end of the duct and the end of the cable is engaged to the second sealing portion, a watertight seal is created between the second sealing portion and the second end of the duct and between the second sealing portion and the end of the cable.

    Abstract: A cable management unit including a support assembly for mounting a patch panel, such as to a wall. The support assembly may include first and second anchor members adapted to be anchored to the wall, and first and second support arms hingedly coupled to the first and second anchor members at first and second hinge points, respectively. The first and second support arms may be adapted to be coupled to the patch panel. A chassis the patch panel may be supported by the first and second support arms. The first and second support arms may be configured to pivot about the first and second hinge points respectively between storage and access positions. The first and second support arms may extend outward from the wall in the access position and may be substantially parallel to the wall in the storage position.

    Abstract: An optical connector assembly includes an optical component assembly, inner and outer optical fibers, a componentry cover, and a connector. The optical component assembly includes an optical unit. The inner and the outer optical fibers are on opposing sides of the optical unit such that the optical unit receives a first optical signal from the inner optical fiber and the outer optical fiber receives a second optical signal from the optical unit or such that the optical unit receives the second optical signal from the outer optical fiber and the inner optical fiber receives the first optical signal from the optical unit. The componentry cover encapsulates an entirety of the optical unit and portions of the inner and the outer optical fibers. The connector includes a portion of first outer optical fiber that is exposed to route the second optical signal.

    Abstract: A multi-fiber cable includes a plurality of optical fibers and an adhesive. The adhesive may be applied along a longitudinal length of the multi-fiber cable in a continuous or substantially continuous manner. The adhesive may be applied in a continuous curved shape, such as sinusoidal. The multi-fiber cable may further include an outer sheath and/or a strength member. The multi-fiber cable may be formed using an adhesive dispenser and a curing device. The curving device may be a light guide coupled to the adhesive dispenser.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a label clip assembly comprising an annular clip having an inner surface and an outer surface radially positioned around a primary axis, and having a height extending in the direction of the primary axis, a label member attached to the outer surface of the clip, and a plurality of projections extending radially from the inner surface of the clip towards the primary axis. The projections may be configured to permit sliding of the clip onto a cable in a first direction and to avoid the clip sliding off the cable in an opposite direction when the clip is engaged with the cable by the projections.

    Abstract: A connector assembly includes an adapter, a housing device, a ferrule assembly, and a sensor. The housing device is received by the adapter and has a bore, a front end, and a rear end opposite the front end. A ferrule of the ferrule assembly is within the bore of the housing device and has a mating end extending beyond the front end of the housing device. The sensor is mounted on the rear end of the housing, the rear end of the ferrule assembly, or on the adapter confronting and spaced apart from the housing device or the ferrule assembly. The sensor is configured for detecting a force applied by the housing device or the ferrule assembly, respectively. An electrical characteristic of the sensor changes to indicate a predetermined force has been applied by the housing device or the ferrule assembly, respectively.

    Abstract: A tool for installing cables in a split sleeve includes first and second guide portions, a third arcuate guide portion extending from and positioned radially outward of the first guide portion, the first and third guide portions forming a first guide slot therebetween, and a fourth arcuate guide portion extending from and positioned radially outward of the second guide portion, the second and fourth guide portions forming a second guide slot therebetween. The tool may be assembled to a split sleeve that is biased toward a rolled up configuration in which one side of the split sleeve at least partially overlies another side of the split sleeve. By positioning one or more cables within the tool while the tool is assembled to the split sleeve, a user may slide the tool along the split sleeve to position the cables within the split sleeve.
