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

A fiber management system () comprises a fiber circuit platform () and a splice tray () to hold a fiber splice, the splice tray () being rotatably coupled to the fiber circuit platform (). The splice tray includes at least one latching mechanism () rotatably engageable with the fiber circuit platform () and disposed on an outer portion of the splice tray. The fiber management system (), in particular, the fiber circuit platform () allows a user to provide straightforward fiber circuit management at a premise or location.

A modular cable head () for use with a distributor in the field of optical telecommunications comprises a mounting frame () in which a plurality of plates () are pivotally mounted. The plates comprise an excess cable portion () for storage of excess fiber-optic cable length and a holding portion () for removably receiving and securely holding optical modules ().

Modular cable head for optical networks

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 ().
