摘要： A fiber optic cable entry connector is described that facilitates integration of fiber optic cables with trunk housings of the type utilized in the CATV industry. The entry connector provides EMI/RFI shielding and weather sealing and is readily compatible with existing fiber optic cables. The entry connector may be reused and may be cycled open and closed to facilitate access to the cable. The entry connector includes a clamp assembly and an entry body that are configured to be mated in combination. The clamp assembly is configured to secure the cable within the connector and to provide weather sealing between the connector and the cable. The clamp assembly is configured to preposition the cores of the cable for insertion through the entry body and into the trunk enclosure. The clamp assembly may be readily adapted to accommodate any sized existing fiber optic cable. The entry body is configured to interface with the trunk housing via a threaded port thereof such as standard 5/8-24, 3/4-24, 7/8/-24 or 1-24 entry or test ports associated with the housing. Sealing members may be disposed in combination with the entry body to provide weather sealing for the connector and between the entry body and the trunk enclosure. The clamp assembly and the entry body are keyed to preclude rotation of the cable.
