  • Publication number: 20220104406
    Abstract: According to the present disclosure, a sealing member for providing a seal around a cable is provided. The sealing member comprises a resiliently deformable material and has a passage along its axis for receiving a cable. The sealing member comprises a first end, a second end and an intermediate portion, the first end disposed at the opposite end of the sealing member from the second end along the axis and the intermediate portion disposed between the first end and the second end. The intermediate portion comprises a circumferential groove disposed on its outer surface such that when a compressing force is applied to the first end and the second end along the axis of the sealing member the intermediate portion deforms to cause the passage to narrow.

  • Patent number: 6487344
    Abstract: A watertight inlet device for inserting a cable containing optical fibers into a chamber or a container, e.g. into a splice box. The device includes a metal solepiece for securing the strength members of the optical cable, and which plugs into and fixes to a tubular sealing body equipped with an external O-ring gasket and having its rear portion shaped to form a sealing stuffing box on the outer sheath of the cable. The rear of the nut of the stuffing box receives a clamp for retaining the cable. Once the device has been fitted, the resulting assembly is inserted into the inlet passageway until it abuts against a shoulder in the passageway. Then only the head of the securing solepiece and a groove in the body project inside the container, the groove then receiving a key or fork for retaining the assembly.

  • Patent number: 6269214
    Abstract: An optical fiber organizer and a box for receiving it. The inlets for the optical cables project side-by-side in row abreast from the same short side of the box bottom. The organizer includes a pedestal which receives, in nested manner, stackable modules for holding cassettes. The pedestal is made of a plastics material and has an outside shape that is rounded. A transit empty space is provided before the pedestal for the purpose of passing the fibers, and a storage empty space is provided after the pedestal for the purpose of storing standby fibers.
