A digital phase acquisition clock recovery circuit includes a digital phase-locked loop that employs a truth table decoder to set the actual delay through a plurality of individual delay elements to generate a plurality of clock phase signals approximately equally spaced in time over one reference clock cycle, and a data sampler circuit that generates a plurality of received data samples from an incoming data sample taken at the rising edge of the respective clock phase signals and synchronizes the data samples to reference clock on a bit period-by-bit period basis. A digital phase acquisition circuit includes an edge detector which evaluates the data samples over each bit period to detect the location of a transition between respective adjacent samples, wherein logic is employed to continually determine the 'relative quality' of each data sample, based upon its sampling time being furthest from a detected edge transition. The data sample phase associated with the highest relative quality value integrated over time is then used to recover the incoming (i.e., optimally phased) data signal.

A re-enterable environmentally sealed enclosure for housing circuitry and/or cable components of a communication network employs a removable cover attached to an enclosure base by a pivoting cam-tracking system. The tracking configuration positions the cover in a manner that, as it approaches the enclosure base when being closed, a seal located in the cover is evenly compressed along its entire perimeter against a corresponding mating surface on the base, thereby distributing the compressive force equally across the entire seal, with any shear forces substantially eliminated. A single tensioning system is provided adjacent the cam-tracking system, so that the tracking system does not operate as a counter-lever to the tensioning system, and visa versa, thereby improving the distribution of force across the seal.

Environmental enclosure and method of sealing same

An intregal cable retention and sealing apparatus has reusable clamping mechanisms for the entry and exit of a wide variety of cable types and sizes to a sealed enclosure. The device is formed by 'mirror-image' body halves having, when assembled, at least one axial passageway formed therethrough to accomodate one or more respective cables. One end of the apparatus includes a chamber for housing a sealing medium, whereas the other end includes a cable retention mechanism.
