Abstract: A hybrid optical power distribution box comprises a wall and one or more apertures in the wall, each aperture having a receiving area, one or more optical adapters for optical connectors, the optical adapters being attached to the hybrid optical power distribution box, each optical adapter extending along an optical direction between a first optical portion configured to be connected to an optical connector and a second optical portion inside the hybrid optical power distribution box, each second optical portion having an optical cross-sectional area configured to be inserted inside an aperture; one or more power adapters for electrical power connectors, the power adapters being attached to the hybrid optical power distribution box, each power adapter extending along a power direction between a first power portion configured to be connected to a power connector and a second power portion inside the hybrid optical power distribution box, each second power portion having a power cross-sectional area configured

Abstract: An optical fiber splice enclosure includes a cap enclosing an inner volume, the cap having an access opening for accessing the inner volume. The enclosure includes a base removably attached to the access opening of the cap, the base having one or more ports for access of optical cables into the inner volume, and a fiber routing frame mounted on the base and arranged into the inner volume. The enclosure includes a tubular element arranged in the inner volume and surrounding the fiber routing frame. The tubular element has a first edge portion and a second edge portion, the tubular element including first retaining elements arranged at the first edge portion, and second retaining elements arranged at the second edge portion. The tubular element includes a bottom tubular portion proximate to the base, a top tubular portion distal to the base, and one or more frangible lines.

Abstract: A gripping device for retaining a cable includes a base, two opposed gripping arms projecting from the base towards respective end portions along an insertion direction and mutually spaced apart along a transversal direction perpendicular to the insertion direction. The gripping arms include retaining portions configured to receive the cable therebetween and insertion portions configured to allow insertion of the cable towards the retaining portions. The gripping device includes first protrusions projecting from the retaining portions, extending along a first direction angled with respect to the insertion direction and configured to act on the cable to retain the cable between the retaining portions. The gripping device includes second protrusions projecting from the insertion portions and extending along a second direction angled with respect to the insertion direction, where each of the second protrusions being tapered along the insertion direction towards the respective end portion.
