Abstract: An optical fiber feed-through connector for optically coupling an end portion of an optical fiber cable with a non-feed-through optical fiber connector includes a feed-through duct engaging portion having a body member and a compression fitting portion configured to radially compress a portion of the body member around the free end portion of the duct and a feed-through housing portion configured to be operatively coupled to the feed-through duct engaging portion so as to allow the end portion of the optical fiber cable to be slidingly fed through the feed-through housing portion. The feed-through engaging portion is configured to permit the end portion of the optical fiber cable to be slidingly fed through both the duct and the feed-through duct engaging portion, and the feed-through duct engaging portion and the feed-through housing portion are configured to permit the optical fiber cable to be pushed or pulled through the duct and the feed-through housing portion after the feed-through duct engaging portion is operatively coupled to the feed-through housing portion.

Abstract: A packaging arrangement for a bundle of cable includes a planar packaging blank extending in a longitudinal direction from a first end to a second end. The blank includes a middle region extending from the first end to the second end between a first fold line and a second fold line, a first side extending from the first end to the second end and including a plurality of first flaps extending from the first fold line in a direction away from the second side in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and a second side extending from the first end to the second end and including a plurality of second flaps extending from the second fold line in a direction away from the first side in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The blank is configured to be rolled into a cylindrical shape such that the first end overlaps the second end. The plurality of first flaps are configured to be folded radially inward relative to the cylindrical blank, and the plurality of second flaps are configured to be folded radially inward relative to the cylindrical blank.

Abstract: A network access point enclosure is configured to house a splice tray that is configured to pivot to provide increased access to opposite sides of the splice tray during assembly. The enclosure includes a base, a cover configured to be sealingly coupled with the base to form a housing, and a splice tray configured to be pivotally coupled with the base. The splice tray is configured to be pivoted between a first orientation relative to the base and a second orientation relative to the base. The splice tray is configured to form a larger angle relative to the base in the first orientation than in the second orientation, and the splice tray is configured to provide increased access to a front side of the splice tray and a rear side of the splice tray in the first orientation than in the second orientation.

Abstract: A cable enclosure may include a body portion including an exterior surface portion having an attachment portion that may be structurally configured to couple with a mounting portion of a telecommunications component. A first portion of the attachment portion may be structurally configured to slidingly receive the mounting portion of the telecommunications component and bias the mounting portion, and a second portion of the attachment portion may be structurally configured to remove the bias from the mounting portion of the telecommunications component such that the mounting portion of the telecommunications component is permitted to prevent sliding movement of the telecommunications component relative to the body portion so as to retain the telecommunications component on the exterior surface portion of the body portion.

Abstract: An enclosure for spliced cables includes an outer housing, a splice tray, internal circuitry, a first fiber and a cable stub. The splice tray and the internal circuitry are positioned inside the outer housing. The first fiber may be connected to the internal circuitry. The cable stub includes a second fiber spliced to the first fiber to form a splice. The splice is configured to be positioned on the splice tray so as to protect and support the splice. The internal circuitry includes a downstream monitor channel fiber, an upstream monitor channel fiber, a downstream channel fiber, and an upstream channel fiber.

Abstract: A fiber optic connector includes a body portion and a coupling portion configured to be coupled with the body portion. The body portion is configured to receive a fiber optic cable, and the coupling portion is configured to radially compress a portion of the body portion onto an outer jacket of a fiber optic cable to clamp the outer jacket and to prevent relative axial movement between the fiber optic cable and the connector when the coupling portion is coupled with the body portion so as to mechanically couple the body portion with the fiber optic cable without having to use a crimping tool.
