An enclosure () includes a base () defining a splice region () and a cover () coupled to the base () to move between a closed position and an open position. A plurality of ruggedized adapters () are on the cover (), each adapter having an inner port () and an outer port (). A removable module () is disposed on the cover (), at least one input fiber () being routed from the splice region () of the base () to the removable module (), wherein the at least one input fiber () is output from the module as a pigtail () having a connectorized end that is connected to an inner port () of a ruggedized adapter (). A cable input location () receives an input cable () including at least one tube () surrounding at least one fiber () that carries the same signal as the at least one input fiber () being routed from the splice region () to the removable module (). The input cable () is anchored to the base () at the cable input location (). A tube holder () is slidably mounted to the base () past the cable input location (), wherein the tube holder () keeps separate an unused fiber-carrying tube () that is stored within the base () in a loop () from a fiber-carrying tube () whose fiber () leads toward the splice region () of the base () for further routing toward the removable module ().

Splitter module and enclosure for use therein

Universal cable attachments for securing a cable in a secured position utilize a pair of counter-rotating lobes or one lobe and a counter surface to clamp against the cable. The lobes are configured such that they can accept a variety of cable diameters, thus eliminating the need for the provision of multiple sizes of unique cable attachments in certain applications. The lobes are configured such that they provide little or no resistance to a cable being inserted in an insertion direction and such that they lock against the cable when the cable is pulled in the opposite direction. The lobes may have eccentrically oriented tapered channels to accomplish the clamping function The lobes may include a plurality of differently sized plates to accomplish the clamping function.

Universal cable attachment

A clamp assembly includes a first clamp half-piece and a second clamp half-piece. In one example, the clamp half-pieces are identically shaped. In one example, each of the clamp half-pieces has at least one integral pin and at least one aperture. The first and second clamp half-pieces are pivotally connected to each other via a first snap-fit interface in which the integral pin of the first clamp half-piece snap-fits into the at least one aperture of the second clamp half-piece. The clamp assembly can also include a link arm connected to the first clamp half-piece via a second snap-fit interface. A lever arm can also be included that is pivotally connected to the link arm via a third snap-fit interface. The clamp assembly does not require separate link pins or other parts and only includes four components: the clamp half-pieces, the link arm, and the lever arm.
