A cabinet includes a first compartment coupled to a second compartment with a sealed cable port arrangement separating the two compartments. The second compartment is more robustly sealed than the first compartment. A sealed splice enclosure is disposed in the first compartment. The splice enclosure is more robustly sealed against water intrusion than the second compartment.

Fiber distribution hub including sealed splice module

The present disclosure relates to splice enclosures adapted for providing cable repairs. The splice enclosures can include a bracket arrangement that allows for variable placement of splice modules on platforms of the bracket arrangement. The bracket arrangement can also provide cable anchoring locations.

Splice enclosure for cable repairs

A composite cable seal includes a frame material and a sealing material. The frame material can be configured to control positioning of the sealing material, and to prevent the sealing material from being over-compressed. The sealing material can be configured to provide effective sealing at a cable port and to provide effective sealing with respect to the enclosure (e.g., at a triple point of the enclosure).

Composite cable seal

A cable distribution system is provided wherein a feeder cable with one or more feeder fibers is received by a distribution device or box. The feeder fibers are terminated to a fiber optic connector. Customers can directly connect to the connectors of the feeder cable through an adapter and a mating connector for a point-to-point connection. Alternatively, a splitter input can be connected to one or more of the connectors of the feeder cable, such as through a pigtail extending from the splitter, wherein the splitter splits the signal as desired into a plurality of outputs. The outputs of the splitters can be in the form of connectors or adapters. Customers can connect to the splitter outputs through a mating connector (and an adapter if needed).

Cable distribution system

Pairs of windows are cut into a distribution cable at various points along the length to couple some of the optical fibers of the distribution cable to drop cables. A wrap-type sealing arrangement can seal a first window of each pair. An enclosure-type sealing arrangement can seal a second window of each pair. The enclosure includes a splice tray and cable storage. Optical adapters and/or a passive splitter also may be disposed within the enclosure.

Sealing enclosure arrangements for optical fiber cables

An extendable telecommunications patch panel () is disclosed. In one aspect, the patch panel can include a plurality of interconnectable connection parts () for holding telecommunications connectors (), such as adapters. Each connection part () may be provided with features that allow the connection parts () to be interlocked with each other to form the extendable patch panel (). In one aspect, a first connection feature () can be located on a connection part first side () and a second connection feature () can be located on a connection part second side (). The first connection feature () can be configured to interlock with the second connection feature () of an adjacent connection part (). The connection part () may also be provided with an adapter () that allows the connection parts () to be connected in a staggered formation to result in a staggered patch panel ().

Extendable patch panel

A cable fixation device () includes a base () with fastener holes (), an upright () projecting from the base and including a fixation projection () having a reduced dimensional portion () for receiving a cable tie (). Protrusions () are provided for engaging the cable jacket. Variations on the cable fixation device include a fixation element () which can slide and/or rotate about a vertical rod; a plate element () which includes a plurality of fixation projections extending between two rods; and a plurality of uprights () integrally formed with the base and including forwardly and rearwardly projecting projections. The base () and the fixation projections () can be made from molded plastic.

Cable fixation devices and methods

A cable distribution system is provided wherein a feeder cable with one or more feeder fibers is received by a distribution terminal, device, or box. The feeder fibers are spliced to a feeder fan out device. Customers can directly connect to the feeder fan out device by patching between the feeder fan out device and a distribution fan out device that is spliced to a distribution cable. This connection creates a point-to-point connection. Alternatively, a splitter input can be connected to the feeder fan out device wherein the splitter splits the signal as desired into a plurality of outputs. The outputs of the splitters can be in the form of connectors or adapters. The connectors or adapters are then connected to the distribution fan out device, and customers can receive a split signal through the distribution cable that is spliced with the distribution fan out device.
