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.

Cable strand anchoring devices include a hub extending from a first hub end to a second hub end; a plurality of cable strand positioning elements, extending from the hub. Each cable positioning element comprises a stabilizing portion monolithically formed with the hub, an arc portion monolithically formed with the stabilizing portion, and a lobe monolithically formed with the hub, the stabilizing portion and the arc portion. In addition, the cable strand anchoring device can include a plurality of strand anchors monolithically formed with the hub and the lobe.

This disclosure describes a sealing body () for sealing a telecommunication cable in a port entry device. The sealing body has

Sealing body for telecommunication cables

A method of terminating an optical fiber drop cable with an optical fiber connector and said optical fiber connector are described herein wherein said optical fiber connector can be inserted into a port structure of a telecommunication enclosure to provide an environmentally sealed connection. The exemplary connector has a main body with an interior passageway extending from a first end to a second end of the main body and a compressible portion at the second end of the main body, a compression member attachable to the second end of the optical fiber connector over the compressible portion, an optical connection portion disposed at least partially within the interior, and an outer housing disposed over the connection portion wherein the outer housing has an external shape mateable with a standard format optical coupling.

Connector for telecommunication enclosures

Optical fiber distribution enclosure (), comprising a housing base () and a housing cover (), engageable with each other to form a housing of the enclosure (), a slack fiber storage device (), arranged within the housing when the housing base () and the housing cover () are engaged with each other, a tray holder (), arranged within the housing when the housing base () and the housing cover () are engaged with each other, on which tray holder () one or more fiber-optic trays () can be mounted, characterized in that the housing base (), the slack fiber storage device () and the tray holder () are integrally formed as one piece.

Optical fibre distribution enclosure

A connection article is provided for a cable comprising at least one wire. The connection article comprises a holder, at least one connector arranged in the holder and having a first receiving opening for receiving a wire to be connected, and guiding means arranged in front of the first receiving opening of the at least one connector, the first receiving opening defining a cross section and the guiding means comprising at least one guiding passage extending through the guiding means and aligned with the first receiving opening of the at least one connector for guiding a wire into the first receiving opening of the connector. The at least one guiding passage comprises opposite distal and proximal ends, the proximal end facing towards and the distal end facing away from the first receiving opening of the at least one connector. The proximal end has a cross section not larger than the cross section of the first receiving opening of the at least one connector. The distal end has a cross section larger than the cross section of the proximal end.

A re-enterable enclosure for a splice between cables, comprises two cover members with internal walls that are configured to form a cavity for enclosing the cable splice when the cover members are engaged with each other in a closed position. At least one of the cover members also has internal walls that are configured to define containment spaces which at least partly surround the cavity. In use, those containment spaces may contain sealant material. At least one internal wall in one cover member can telescope into a containment space in the other cover member so that, if sealant material is contained therein, it will be compressed when the cover members are engaged with each other in the closed position. By changing the containment spaces that are used to contain sealant material, different levels of protection against humidity can be provided for the cable splice in the cavity.

Re-enterable splice enclosure

A cable bushing intended to close off, in a sealed way, a space around a plurality of cables, comprises a first compression part () intended to be positioned towards the outside of a sleeve (), a second compression part (), offset in a longitudinal direction from the first compression part () and intended to be positioned toward the inside of the sleeve (), a plurality of openings () formed in the first compression part () and a plurality of corresponding openings () formed in the second compression part (), each of the said openings () in the first compression part () being intended, together with the corresponding openings () in the second compression part () for a respective cable to pass through, sealing means () located between the said first compression part () and the said second compression part (), and compression means for moving the first compression part () and second compression part () towards one another in the longitudinal direction to compress the sealing means (). The said first compression part () and the said second compression part () each comprise, for each opening () therein, at least one piece () that is movable to provide access individually to the respective opening ().
