    摘要: A bend limiter/strain reliever is provided for maintaining optical fiber bend limits at exit portals of a optic fiber closure for the closure's entire range of motion, from being fully closed to being fully open. Bend limits are maintained as optical fiber is directed on paths through a closure exit portal between the closure interior and wire brackets on the closure exterior. Fibers are retained, organized and strain relieved by the bend limiter/strain reliever such that directed fiber is maintain at a minimum bend radius on such fiber paths. The curved surface of the bend limiter/strain reliever allows the closure to be accessed without excessive bending of so routed optical fibers. In this manner, optical signal degradation and/or total loss is avoided by limiting the bending of routed optical fiber to radii in excess of a predetermined minimum bend radius. Horizontal members separate the bend limiter/strain reliever into compartments and make it easy to isolate fibers so that they may be efficiently traced and removed during system maintenance.

    摘要: A fiber optic interconnection combination closure is provided for fashioning optical fiber connections in an enclosed chamber protected from environmental conditions and fiber stress. Fiber splices are fashioned in splice organizers within a closure base assembly. Fiber terminations are fashioned at termination adapters arrayed in a closure chassis. Bend limits for optical fiber are maintained as the fiber is directed on paths in the closure to/from splice organizers, termination adapters, and closure exit portals. Fiber is organized, strain relieved and collected by fiber clips, rings, retainers, and looms positioned such that directed fiber is maintain at a minimum bend radius on such fiber paths. Provided slack storage facilities allow fiber connections to be handled individually without disturbing other connections and/or fibers. Fibers are retained, organized and guided in a path on the closure exterior by attached wire brackets. In this manner, optical signal degradation and/or total loss is avoided by limiting the bending of routed optical fiber to radii in excess of a predetermined minimum bend radius.
