Abstract
An enclosure for providing a local convergence point for a fiber optic network may include an enclosure frame and an end panel defining a plurality of ports. The enclosure may include a feeder compartment to receive through at least one of the ports an optical source cable from the network. The enclosure may include a feeder compartment panel pivotally coupled to the feeder compartment and configured to pivot. The enclosure may also include a feeder splice tray removably coupled to the feeder compartment panel and configured to receive one or more optical fibers from the optical source cable. The feeder splice tray may be configured to communicatively couple at least one optical fiber of the optical source cable to at least one distribution fiber configured to facilitate communication with a destination device configured to receive an optical signal from the network.
