Abstract: A seal (110) for a telecommunications enclosure (100) includes a first body (114) made of a first material. The first body (114) defines a port (112) and the port (112) defines a port axis (113). The first body (114) further includes a first axial face (122), an opposite second axial face (124), and a peripheral surface (126). The peripheral surface (126) surrounds the first body (114) between the first axial face (122) and second axial face (124), and the peripheral surface (126) further surrounds the port. The seal (110) also includes a second body (116) made of a second material. The second body (116) is disposed on at least the peripheral surface (126) of the first body (114). The second material is softer than the first material of the first body (114).

Abstract: Anchoring an input cable (190) at an input port (123, 223) of an enclosure (110) includes inserting the input cable (190) through an anchor member (151, 251) so that a cable jacket (191) terminates within the anchor member (151, 251) and at least one optical fiber (195) extends outwardly from the anchor member (151, 251). The anchor member (151, 251) is secured to the cable jacket (191) using the sheath (175). A cover (162, 260) is mounted to the anchor member (151, 251) to form a pass-through assembly (150, 250) defining an enclosed region. Material is injected into the enclosed region to fix strength members (197) and/or optical fibers (195) of the input cable (190) to the pass-through assembly (150, 250). The ruggedized pass-through assembly (150, 250) is disposed at a base (120, 220) of the enclosure (110).
