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

An overvoltage protection module can be fitted to a telecommunications module having telecommunications contacts, to which telecommunications lines are connectable, and has at least two overvoltage protectors, at least one ground contact, and at least two pairs of protection module contacts for contacting the telecommunications contacts at contact points, so that at least two telecommunications lines are protectable, wherein the contact points are located on at least two different levels, and both contacts of each pair of protection module contacts are connected to the same overvoltage protector.

Overvoltage protection module and an assembly of at least one telecommunications module and at least one overvoltage protection module

A telecommunications module has a front and a rear side and at least two contacts which are in disconnectable contact with each other at a disconnection point, wherein at least one contact has at least two projections in the vicinity of the disconnection point and on either side of the disconnection point. The contacts can be separated by inserting an external component or a portion thereof in an insertion direction between the projections. This manner of separation of the contacts without contacting any of the disconnection points results in less abrasion at these points. At least one of the projections formed on a contact of a telecommunications module in the vicinity of a disconnection point may be used as a test access to the contact.
