Abstract: Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relate to a fiber optic communications network that includes a loop back connector in conjunction with one or more distribution devices daisy chained together to index optical fibers within the network. The network includes a central office that sends signals in one direction. The loop back connector can be mounted at the end of the chain to allow un-used live indexing optical fibers corresponding to active fiber positions to be looped back to feed signals to dead indexing optical fibers corresponding to inactive fiber positions. The dead indexing optical fibers can be optically connected to progressively dropped fibers or reverse ports in the indexed network.

Abstract: A thermal management system for a power and fiber splice enclosure that includes a housing including electrical components is provided. The thermal management system includes a solar shield disposed external to the housing and covering at least a major portion of the housing. The thermal management system includes a vent disposed in the housing for venting hot air from the enclosure. The thermal management system includes a condenser thermally coupled to a heat conducting component of the enclosure for cooling at least the heat conducting component.

Abstract: Device having a support for aerially suspending an optical fiber termination box to which an optical cable is routed. Features of the device are adapted to transfer cable load to the support thereby bypassing the optical fiber termination box, which can help to prevent damage to the optical fiber termination box and the optical fibers it supports.

Abstract: A mid-span clamp includes an elongate base that defines a cable channel on a top side. The clamp includes a first pressure block connected to the base by a first control arm. The first pressure block includes a clamping surface and a top surface. The top surface includes a cleat. The clamp includes a second pressure block connected to the base by a second control arm. The second pressure block also includes a clamping surface and a top surface. The top surface includes a cleat. The clamp has an open position and a closed position. In the open position, a cable passageway is defined between the clamping surfaces of the first and second pressure blocks and the cable channel of the base. In the closed position, the clamping surfaces of the first and second pressure blocks close the cable passageway. The clamp is biased in the closed position.
