Abstract: An optical fiber distribution module includes a base having a surrounding wall, a cover, and a sealing element in the cover. A pair of cable ports are formed in the base wall to pass an outdoor fiber distribution cable through an interior region of the module. One or more fiber ports in the wall pass corresponding drop fibers from the interior region where the fibers connect to designated fibers of the distribution cable, to a number of premises for which the fibers are designated inside a multi-dwelling unit building. Grommet seals are dimensioned and formed to be inserted in any unused fiber ports, and to surround the distribution cable and the drop fibers in their corresponding ports. The grommet seals cooperate with the sealing element in the cover to seal all the ports from the environment when the module is closed.

Abstract: A fiber distribution module includes a base having a wall with a first flange, a cover having a wall with a second flange, and a sealing element. Latches clamp the cover to the base, and, with the sealing element, act to produce a weather tight seal. Each latch has a lever with a lower hook portion, and a lever arm. The latch also has a catch of U-shaped cross section, a lower arm, and an upper arm. Each latch clamps the module cover to the base weather tight when (i) a distal end of the lower arm of the catch engages the first flange on the base wall, and (ii) the lever arm is urged to closed a position where the lower hook portion of the lever applies a force on the second flange on the cover wall which compresses the sealing element to obtain the weather tight seal.

Abstract: A module for storing optical fiber at user premises. A fiber supply spool has at least one winding section for storing a length of fiber to be routed at the premises. A spool plate has a base with retaining fingers for mounting the supply spool for rotation, and a hinge pin supported between the ends of two arms extending from the base. An elongated adapter plate is arranged for fastening over an opening cut in a drywall at the premises. The adapter plate includes at least one hinge mount for seating the hinge pin on the spool plate for swiveling movement. The spool plate can swivel on the adapter plate together with the mounted spool between a position where fiber is unwound from the spool for routing at the premises, and a position where the spool with remaining fiber is passed through the opening to be stored behind the drywall.
