Abstract: A telecommunications enclosure is disclosed. In one example the enclosure includes a gel block actuator that is capable of applying compressive load and positive tensile load to the gel block.

Abstract: A clamp assembly includes a first clamp half-piece and a second clamp half-piece. In one example, the clamp half-pieces are identically shaped. In one example, each of the clamp half-pieces has at least one integral pin and at least one aperture. The first and second clamp half-pieces are pivotally connected to each other via a first snap-fit interface in which the integral pin of the first clamp half-piece snap-fits into the at least one aperture of the second clamp half-piece. The clamp assembly can also include a link arm connected to the first clamp half-piece via a second snap-fit interface. A lever arm can also be included that is pivotally connected to the link arm via a third snap-fit interface. The clamp assembly does not require separate link pins or other parts and only includes four components: the clamp half-pieces, the link arm, and the lever arm.

Abstract: A cable fixation device (100, 200, 300, 400) includes a base (102, 202) with fastener holes (104), an upright (110, 208) projecting from the base and including a fixation projection (126, 212, 316, 318) having a reduced dimensional portion (128, 214, 324) for receiving a cable tie (152, 222, 326). Protrusions (130, 218, 320) are provided for engaging the cable jacket. Variations on the cable fixation device include a fixation element (130, 218, 320) which can slide and/or rotate about a vertical rod; a plate element (304) which includes a plurality of fixation projections extending between two rods; and a plurality of uprights (208) integrally formed with the base and including forwardly and rearwardly projecting projections. The base (102, 202) and the fixation projections (126, 212, 316, 318) can be made from molded plastic.

Abstract: A telecommunications wall plate (10) for mounting to the wall surface comprising a body defining a front surface (20), and a rear surface (22) spaced from the front surface; the body including two opposite sides (12, 14), a top (16), and a bottom (18); the front surface defining at least one cable duct (30) extending from the top to the bottom and exposed along the front surface in the space between the front surface and the rear surface. The wall plate holds telecommunications boxes (40, 160, 300). A wall box (1100, 1200), includes a sidewall insert plate (1104, 1204) which includes a cable management plate (1146, 1246) mounted thereto for handling entry and exit of the cables in management of the cables in an interior of the wall box 1100, 1200. The wall box (1140) includes a side wall opening (1107) for receipt from a front (1120) by a combined port end plate (1300).
