Patent number: 9927592Abstract: An enclosure system for receiving a cable includes an enclosure having an inner chamber and an open position exposing the inner chamber and a closed position covering the inner chamber. A cable receiving port in a wall of the enclosure extends along a longitudinal axis from outside of the enclosure into the inner chamber. The cable receiving port is configured to receive a cable therein when the cable is advanced axially into the port without rotation of the cable when the enclosure is in the closed position. A mating member is associated with the cable receiving port that limits rotation of the cable when the cable is advanced axially into the port. An axial retention member is associated with the cable receiving port that limits axial movement of the cable out of the port when the cable is advanced axially into the port to a lock position.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2016Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: CommScope Technologies LLCInventors: Roy Keller Thompson, Thomas Ross Marmon, Julian S. Mullaney, William Alan Carrico, Barry Wayne Allen
