Abstract: A fiber optic cable storage apparatus for storing excess cable in an aerial installation such as on an utility pole. The apparatus is generally planar and somewhat oval shaped and includes a channel extending around its periphery for retaining the cable. The channel includes a bottom wall and opposing sidewalls, the bottom being generally perpendicular and the sidewalls being generally parallel to the plane of the apparatus. The orientation of the bottom wall sidewalls allows the cable to be retained within the channel when the apparatus is installed horizontally, vertically, or any orientation. Each sidewall of the channel includes alternating rectangular sidewall sections. The sidewall sections are formed such that a section of one sidewall is not opposed by a section of the opposing sidewall. In this manner, the apparatus having alternating rectangular sidewall sections can be integrally formed from plastic using opposing die halves.

Abstract: Combination apparatus for connecting one or more incoming telephone company lines to one or more telephone subscriber premises lines and for connecting incoming coaxial cable signals such as incoming cable television signals to a receiver of such signals such as a television set, and a coaxial cable module which may be embodied as a cable television module for being mounted to telephone network interface apparatus and for connecting incoming cable television signals to a television set.

Abstract: Cable television module and combination cable television module and telephone network interface apparatus including a pair of coaxial cable connectors at least one of which disposed angularly with respect to each other to facilitate connection with coaxial cables entering the telephone network interface apparatus and connected to one or more television sets of a telephone subscriber whose subscriber line is connected to an incoming telephone line through the telephone network interface apparatus.

Abstract: Optical fiber closure including a pair of mating surfaces one of which is provided with a groove having a first volume and a deformable sealing member mounted in and extending outwardly from the groove with the groove having a volume larger than the volume of the sealing member; upon the mating surfaces being forced together, the sealing member is compressed and deforms within the groove and provides a substantially fluid-tight seal between the surfaces. The closure may include a plurality of cable clamps provided with outwardly extending deformable sealing members which are received in grooves having a larger volume than the volume of the sealing members whereby upon the cable clamps being forced into engagement with optical fiber cables entering or exiting the closure the sealing members are received in the grooves and compressed and deformed within the grooves to provide a fluid-tight seal between the cable clamps and optical fiber cables entering or exiting the closure.

Abstract: Closure for containing splices between optical fibers including a frame providing a plurality of optical fiber cable entry/exit ports, splice tray stacker mounted to the frame and for stacking a plurality of splice trays, and an outer cover for being fastened closed around the frame and the splice tray stacker to provide mechanical and environmental protection thereto.

Abstract: Apparatus for storing and organizing spliced optical fibers into one of a plurality of in-line and butt splicing configurations and for imparting sufficiently large curvature to the curved portions of such optical fibers present during storing and organizing to prevent damage to the optical fibers, and a cover for such optical fibers upon being stored and organized.
