Abstract: A multi-port optical connection terminal for use as a branch point in a fiber optic communications network at a distance from a mid-span access location provided on a distribution cable having a plurality of optical fibers. The multi-port terminal includes a base and a cover affixed to the base. A stub cable port formed through one of the base and the cover receives a stub cable having at least one optical fiber extending continuously from the multi-port terminal to the mid-span access location. A first end of the optical fiber is optically connected to a respective optical fiber of the distribution cable at the mid-span access location and a fiber optic connector is mounted upon the second end. At least one connector port is provided on the multi-port terminal for receiving the fiber optic connector and a connectorized end of a fiber optic drop cable extending from the multi-port terminal.

Abstract: A multi-directional splice organizer for attachment to an optical fiber splice tray, the splice organizer including a base and a plurality of guide studs arranged in a predetermined pattern to form splice channels for receiving, maintaining and routing optical fibers and optical splices there through. A splice organizer that allows a splice installer to orient splices in multiple directions within the splice organizer, thus allowing flexibility in fiber optic cable, optical fiber and buffer tube entry and routing within a splice tray. A universal splice organizer that allows fiber routing from multiple directions without the need for tray flipping (e.g., rotating), while retaining splice capacity.

Abstract: An optical termination pedestal defines an interior cavity for interconnecting an optical fiber of a distribution cable and an optical fiber of a drop cable. The pedestal includes a base, a housing positioned over the base, and a plate secured to the housing or the base. The plate separates the interior cavity into a first compartment and a second compartment and has at least one cable port for routing the distribution cable into the first compartment. At least one connector port may be provided on the plate for receiving a connectorized optical fiber of the distribution cable from the first compartment and a pre-connectorized drop cable from the second compartment. The plate is provided with an O-ring to seal the first compartment relative to the second compartment. As a result, a sealed splice closure is created within the interior cavity without the need for a separate enclosure.
