  • Publication number: 20170152950
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cable sealing device (30) for providing a seal around a communications cable (88, 90). The cable sealing device (30) includes a cable seal arrangement (38) positioned between first and second compression plates (92F, 92R). The cable sealing device (30) also includes an actuator (36) for compressing the first and second compression plates (92F, 92R) together to deform the cable sealing arrangement (38) such that the cable sealing arrangement (38) is adapted to form a seal about a cable (88, 90) routed through the cable sealing device (30). The actuator includes a cam lever (94) pivotally movable between an actuated position (P2) and a non-actuated position (P1). The actuator also includes a spring (98) for transferring load between the cam lever (94) and the first and second compression plates (92F, 92R). The spring (98) is pre-loaded when the cam lever (94) is in the non-actuated position (P1) (FIG.

  • Patent number: 9606299
    Abstract: A fiber optic connector (12) is mounted to a fiber optic connector holder (14). The holder (14) can be a separate piece mountable to other devices, such as trays, panels, modules, cassettes, and chassis. Alternatively, the holder (14) can be integrally formed with the device. In some implementations, multiple holders (14) can be provided as separate elements, or as an integral element. The fiber optic connector holder (14) holds the fiber optic connector (12) in position ready for connection to another fiber optic connector (50) at a desired time. The holder (14) receives a fiber optic adapter (36), and a second fiber optic connector (50). The adapter (36) aligns the two connectors (12, 50) for fiber optic signal transmission. The fiber optic connector holder (14) includes a clip (26) for clipping to the first connector (12).

  • Patent number: 9150338
    Abstract: A locking system for an enclosure (10) wherein the enclosure (10) includes a base (12) and a moveable cover (14). The cover (14) is moveable only when a key operated slide (70) is moved by a key (26) inserted into a key slot (24). Once the cover (14) is moved, the key (26) cannot be removed from the key slot (24) until the cover (14) is returned to the closed positioned. A moveable latch (50) holds the cover (14) to the base (12). The key operated slide (70) selectively connects and disconnects from the latch (50) to allow the cover (14) to be moved. The latch (50) cooperates with a clip (94) on the slide (70) which allows the slide (70) to return to the locked position to allow the key (26) to be removed from the key slot (24) only when the cover (14) and the latch (50) are closed. One or two latches can be provided with a corresponding number of key operated slides (70). The key (26) is rotatable to move the slide (70) from an extended and locked position to a retracted and unlocked position.
