  • Publication number: 20220390675
    Abstract: The box has a base (10) and a (20) which is hinged to the base (10 and displaceable between a closed position and an open position. At least one peripheral wall (12) of the base (10) is provided with at least two lateral openings (13) each being flanked by two inclined recesses (13a/13b) and each closed by a sealing grommet (30) for the passage of at least one multi-fiber optical cable (CO) and which is pressed into the lateral opening (13) to receive thereon a sealing gasket (24) carried by the lid (20). A splitter accommodation tray (60) has a front face (61) attached to the top wall (21) of the lid (20) and carrying splitter and/or fiber accommodation means (MSF), and a rear face (62) covered by a splitter protective plate (PS). Each splitter and/or fiber accommodation means (MSF) is connectable to a fiber extension (EF1) of an optical cable (CO) received in the base (10) and to fiber extensions (EF2) connected to output adapters (AS) mounted.

  • Publication number: 20220269025
    Abstract: The box comprises a base (10) hinging a lid (20) and a tray (40) carrying fiber splicing and splitting means (AF, EF) and output adapters (AS). A side opening (13) of the base (10) is closed by a sealing bung (30) and the tray (40) incorporates, on a front face (42), a lateral anchoring element (45) provided with anchoring cutouts (45b) and being seated on the sealing bung (30). The side anchoring element (45) receives a sealing element (50) with forward slots (51) to receive a terminal cable (CT). The lid (20) has a back edge (22a) with an extension seated against the sealing element (50) and with another extension forcing a terminal cable (CT) into an anchoring cutout (45b).

  • Patent number: 10288830
    Abstract: An expandable optical distribution device is provided which includes a basic module defined by a basic box, closed by a front cover, receiving an optical cable and housing an optical fiber derived from the optical cable and coupled to an output adapter to which a user's drop cable of a first user is coupled; and an additional carton-shaped expansion module in the form of an additional box, engageable on the basic box and closed by a tilting cover. The additional box is provided with an input connector attachable to the output adapter, and houses an expansion fiber split into multiple user fibers, each user fiber being coupled to an expansion adapter internal to the additional box and to each of which a user's drop cable is attachable.
