  • Enclosure for fiber optic splitter
    Patent number: 9207420
    Abstract: An enclosure cabinet for connecting optical fiber from a head end to each of the premises of multiple dwellings has a door on an opening in a front wall of the cabinet and a support member on top and bottom slides that supports both a compartment in a container for fiber optic splitter modules and a vertical support panel for premise drop components. The slide out support member moves from a position retracted within the hollow interior for closing of the door to an extended position where the vertical panel is presented at least partly forwardly of the front wall to allow unencumbered access to both sides of the panel where the premise drop components are installed across an opening in the panel for installation, testing and visual inspection.

  • Fiber optic cable assembly
    Patent number: 6278831
    Abstract: A furcation kit and method of manufacturing a furcated fiber optic cable are described. The furcation kit includes a molded furcation body and a molded furcation plug that is received in a hollow end of the furcation body. A stop prevents the plug from being inserted too far into the furcation body. A crimp ring is used to attach the furcation body to the furcated fiber optic cable. The advantages include a simple furcation kit that is easy to assemble, inhibits the formation of bends in furcated fiber optic strands, and occupies very little space.
