Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a sealed closure having modular components, enhanced cable sealing, modular connection interfaces, enhanced cable anchoring and enhanced fiber management.

Abstract: An optical connector includes a first sub-assembly that is factory-installed to a first end of an optical fiber and a second sub-assembly that is field-installed to the first end of the optical fiber. The optical fiber and first sub-assembly can be routed through a structure (e.g., a building) prior to installation of the second sub-assembly. The second sub-assembly interlocks with the first sub-assembly to inhibit relative axial movement therebetween. Example first sub-assemblies include a ferrule, a hub, and a strain-relief sleeve that mount to an optical fiber. Example second sub-assemblies include a mounting block; and an outer connector housing forming a plug portion.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to features of a telecommunication enclosure. Example features can include mounting plate attachment features, housing latching features, housing hinge features and fiber routing features.

Abstract: Devices, assemblies, and methods for anchoring portions of telecommunications cables, including protective sheaths and strength members. In some examples, the devices and assemblies are adjustable to accommodate different sized cables and cable components. According to one embodiment, an assembly includes two members that cooperate via a ratcheting mechanism to adjust to different cable diameters, the assembly further including features adapted to anchor strength member yarn of a cable.

Abstract: A glass fiber reinforced wall for a fiber optic cable enclosure having variable wall thicknesses between stiffening ribs to improve durability against impact loads.

Abstract: Fiber optic splice closures adapted to house a large number of fiber splices. The closure holds a splice assembly including a support frame that supports two stacks of splice trays. The splice assembly can be inverted to access the second stack of splice trays. The support frame can also define one or more fiber organizing areas within the splice closure.

Abstract: A cable management system includes a support having a stem and an arm that extends from the stem. The arm includes a channel having a plurality of openings. A locking sled is slidable from a locked position to an unlocked position within the channel. The locking sled has a plurality of locking grooves that align with the plurality of openings. Fiber optic trays are mounted to the arm, and each fiber optic tray has at least one hinge inserted through an opening on the arm and a locking groove on the locking sled. The fiber optic trays are pivotable with respect to the arm when the hinges are in the unlocked portion, and the fiber optic trays are fixed with respect to the arm when the hinges are in the locked portion.

Abstract: A telecommunications enclosure is disclosed. In one example the enclosure includes a gel block actuator that is capable of applying compressive load and positive tensile load to the gel block.

Abstract: A telecommunications cable jacket insertion system operates to insert a telecommunication cable into a jacket after the jacket has been separately extruded. The system includes a jacket having structures for easily inserting a cable therein over a long distance in a field location. The system can further include a tool for facilitating the insertion of the cable into the jacket. Further, a cabling system includes a cable assembly that is disaggregated into a robust outer jacketing portion and a manageable fiber optic cable portion. For regions of a cable installation where a robust cable construction is desired, the manageable fiber optic cable portion is sheathed or otherwise contained within the robust outer jacketing portion. For regions of a cable installation where a robust cable construction is not needed, the manageable fiber optic cable portion extends beyond or outside of the robust outer jacketing portion.
