Abstract: Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relate to an enclosure arrangement that provides a seal useful for sealing optical fiber cables. The enclosure arrangement can include a housing with two shell members that fit together to define a cable passage. The two shell members can include circumferential sealing ribs and longitudinal sealing ribs that each has a rounded profile. A sealant material can be used to wrap the optical fiber cable. When the housing is compressed into contact with the sealant material, the circumferential and longitudinal sealing ribs can apply a uniform, controlled pressure about the optical fiber cable without puncturing or damaging the sealant material.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an optical splice package for splicing together first and second optical fibers or first and second sets of optical fibers. The optical fibers have elastic bending characteristics. The splice package includes a splice housing including a mechanical alignment feature for co-axially aligning ends of the first and second optical fibers or sets of optical fibers within the splice housing. The splice housing contains adhesive for securing the ends of the first and second optical fibers or sets of optical fibers within the splice housing. The optical package has a weight less than a spring force corresponding to the elastic bending characteristics of the first and second optical fibers or sets of optical fibers.

Abstract: Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relate to a cable sealing structure comprising a cable sealing body including a gel and methods of making anisotropic behavior in cable sealing structures made with a dry silicone gel. In one aspect, various three-dimensional printing techniques are used to make a cable sealing structure that includes a gel. The cable sealing body has a construction that elastically deforms to apply an elastic spring load to the gel. The cable sealing body has a construction with anisotropic deformation characteristics that allows the cable sealing body to be less deformable in one direction than in others. The cable sealing structure can be utilized to seal fiber optic cables more uniformly while limiting the potential of leakage.

Abstract: An enclosure (10) includes a base (38) defining a splice region (148) and a cover (40) coupled to the base (38) to move between a closed position and an open position. A plurality of ruggedized adapters (26) are on the cover (40), each adapter having an inner port (64) and an outer port (66). A removable module (32) is disposed on the cover (40), at least one input fiber (12) being routed from the splice region (148) of the base (38) to the removable module (32), wherein the at least one input fiber (12) is output from the module as a pigtail (28) having a connectorized end that is connected to an inner port (64) of a ruggedized adapter (26). A cable input location (16) receives an input cable (14/20) including at least one tube (138) surrounding at least one fiber (12) that carries the same signal as the at least one input fiber (12) being routed from the splice region (148) to the removable module (32). The input cable (14/20) is anchored to the base (38) at the cable input location (16). A tube holder (150) is slidably mounted to the base (38) past the cable input location (16), wherein the tube holder (150) keeps separate an unused fiber-carrying tube (138) that is stored within the base (38) in a loop (122) from a fiber-carrying tube (138) whose fiber (12) leads toward the splice region (148) of the base (38) for further routing toward the removable module (32).
