Abstract: A fiber retention device is provided for retention of fibers such as optical fibers, tubing, cables, buffer tubes and other elongate objects. The retention device includes, generally, a mounting retainer and a resilient sleeve. The mounting retainer is formed of a resilient material and defines one or more generally U-shaped support channels. The resilient sleeve is positioned in the U-shaped support channel and defines at least one expandable passageway for receiving a fiber therein. The passageway diameter is less than the fiber diameter in a pre-load orientation or relaxed condition prior to inserting the fiber into the passageway. The support channel selectively includes a plurality of tabs for locating the sleeve therein including tabs on a bottom wall for resisting relative horizontal movement and tabs on a side wall for resisting relative vertical movement of the sleeve within the channel.

Abstract: An optical fiber splice case particularly adapted for providing fiber optic links directly to a home, business, et al. is provided wherein at least one enclosure base has at least one cover member selectively sealingly engaged with at least one side of the at least one enclosure base. The at least one enclosure base includes at least one bulkhead having a selective plurality of optical fiber ports therethrough.

Abstract: A cable closure is provided which adapted to accommodate different size cables and different splices. The closure includes end plates designed to receive various size cables without requiring modification during field use. The end plates are interchangeable with stainless steel and injection molded closure shells. A sealant is provided which allows multiple re-entries into closure shell. Bolts are assembled on the exterior of the closure shell to eliminate potential misalignments between the bolts and closure shell holes. Washers are used within the end plates to seal holes not used for storing cables. A cutter is provided which cuts the washers in one 360° rotation thus eliminating weak points in the washer due to multiple cuts. Alternately a plug is provided for the end plate holes which are adaptable to several size holes to reduce the number of plugs required.

Abstract: A housing assembly for enclosing and storing cable splices comprises axially spaced end plates defining a storage space and joined by a pair of rigid torque bars. A pair of opposed housing members contoured to enclose the end plates and the storage space are releasably and sealing clamped to each other and to the end plates. Carried by one of the bars at axially spaced locations are a pair of spaced rods which support a plurality of splice storage trays in stacked relationship.
