Latching system that latches an enclosure having a compressible sealant about its perimeter, the latching system providing for an open configuration, a staged configuration, and a mated configuration, the compressible sealant engaging a pair of projections having a channel therebetween to form a seal having an air gap above the sealant.

Latching system for an enclosure

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a modular fiber optic distribution system for enhancing installation flexibility and for facilitating adding components to a terminal housing over time so as to delay cost. The system is configured to allow components (e.g., inserts, add-on modules, etc.) to be readily added to the terminal housing over time to expand capacity, provide upgrades and to provide forward and backward compatibility.

Terminal enclosure with modular aspects and modules for interfacing with the terminal enclosure

Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relate to a fiber optic connector including a connector body defining a central longitudinal axis that extends in a front-to-rear orientation. The connector body can include a front connector housing piece and a rear connector housing piece that may be aligned along the central longitudinal axis. A front end of the rear connector housing piece can be adapted to connect with a rear plug end of the front connector housing piece. The rear end of the rear connector housing piece can include a unitary fiber bend radius limiting structure. The unitary fiber bend radius limiting structure can be generally funnel-shaped. A ferrule assembly can be captured between the front and rear connector housing pieces with the rear connector housing piece functioning as a rear spring stop.

Ferrule housing with integrated boot

An enclosure includes a housing having sealing block arrangements disposed at corners of the housing. Each sealing block arrangement includes a containment wall to maintain sealant at the cable ports. A user can choose which corner ports are sealed or blocked by the sealing block arrangements. Each sealing block arrangement includes two volumes of sealant, a sealant containment wall, and two spring elements. Each containment wall includes containment elements that separate from each other to allow passage of a cable through the sealing block.

Sealing block arrangements for enclosures

The present disclosure relates to an enclosure for housing telecommunications equipment. The enclosure can receive a pass-through cable a sealed locations. The enclosure includes structure that allows re-entry of the enclosure while reducing for reducing or preventing disturbance of the sealed locations.

Re-enterable sealed enclosure

Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relate to an enclosure () that can include first and second housing pieces () that cooperate to define an enclosed interior () of the enclosure (). The first and second housing pieces () mate at an interface () that extends about a continuous sealing loop (). The enclosure () may include a seal () that extends about the continuous sealing loop () of the enclosure () at the interface () between the first and second housing pieces (). The seal () can include a retention portion () positioned within a channel () of the first housing piece () and a sealing flap () connected to the retention portion (). The second housing piece () may include an outer flange () that extends about the continuous sealing loop () of the enclosure (). The sealing flap () of the seal () can be compressed between the outer flange () and a rim element () of the enclosure ().

Longitudinal radial seal

A sealing unit () includes opposing sealing blocks () that are biased together. Each sealing block () includes a volume of sealant () contained between two containment wall sections (). Each containment wall section () defines a plurality of notches () of various sizes. The notches () of the containment wall sections () of each sealing block () align with each other to define cable passages across the sealant (). The sealing blocks () can be rotated to mate similarly sized notches () to define a cable port () leading to a sealing interface between the volumes of sealant (). An inner diameter of the cable port () can be selected based on selecting which notches () to mate.
