A lever mechanism for sealing a telecommunications closure includes a plurality of hinge elements; a leveraging element extending upwardly from each hinge element; an arm section extending from the leveraging element; a biasing element downwardly extending from the arm section; and a handle coupled to the biasing element such that upon application of a compressive force to at least a portion of the handle, each hinge element, each leveraging element, each arm section, and each biasing element moves, allowing the lever mechanism to change from a non-actuated position to an actuated position. The lever mechanism is further configured to couple with a spring-activated element and environmentally seal the telecommunications closure.

Disclosed are optical plug connectors and optical receptacles for making optical connections. In one embodiment, the optical plug connector includes an optical portion having an optical interface and a cover for protecting the optical interface. The cover can translate toward the optical interface when connecting the optical plug connector and a portion of the cover allows transmission of optical signals therethrough.

Optical plug having a translating cover and a complimentary receptacle

An optical adaptor for mounting to a receptacle to optically couple connectorized opticable cables comprises an assembly of an optical interface to provide an optical path between a first and a second one of the connectorized optical cables to optically couple the first and the second connectorized optical cable. The assembly of the optical interface comprises a mounting element to mount the optical adaptor to the receptacle. The mounting element is configured to receive the assembly of the optical interface and to mechanically couple the first connectorized optical cable to the mounting element so that the first connectorized optical cable is optically coupled to the first side of the assembly of the optical interface.

An optical adaptor for mounting to a receptacle to optically couple connectorized optical cables comprises a coupling element to provide a passageway for inserting a respective ferrule of a first and a second optical connector terminating a first and a second optical cable. The optical adaptor further comprises a mounting element to mount the first optical connector to the receptacle, the mounting element being configured to be insertable in the receptacle, and a fixing element to fix the mounting element to the receptacle. The mounting element is formed as a hollow body to receive the coupling element and configured to fix the coupling element to the receptacle.

Apparatus for inserting optical fibers into furcation tubes comprises a plurality duct-like channels each configured to receive one of the furcation tubes in such a way that the furcation tube is insertable from a first side of the apparatus into the duct-like channel so that a long tube section of the furcation tube can be left protruding on the first side and a short tube section of the furcation tube can protrude on an opposite second side of the apparatus. Each duct-like channel is further configured so that a portion of the long tube section becomes spread apart along a longitudinal slot of the furcation tube, thereby allowing an optical fiber to be inserted into the short tube section and extended through the furcation tube before protruding from the longitudinal slot in the long tube section.
