Abstract
A telecommunications closure () comprising cables (), a cover (), an interior frame (), the frame () holding telecommunications equipment (), and a seal block () sealing the cover () closed relative to one or more cables () which enter the closure (). The frame () defines a plurality of clamp assembly holders (). A plurality of clamp assemblies () are provided, each clamp assembly () for holding a cable including a jacket (), interior optical fibers (), and at least one interior strength member (). Each clamp assembly () includes a jacket clamp assembly () moveable relative to the frame, and including a wrap () which mounts around the jacket, and a strength member clamp assembly () moveable relative to the frame. The wrap () wraps around the jacket () and is adjustable for different jacket diameters. The strength member clamp assembly () is mountable in a plurality of positions relative to the jacket clamp assembly () to account for variations in the relative location of the strength member relative to the jacket clamp assembly. The clamp assembly () is moveable relative to the frame () wherein the cable () is allowed to move to a proper position relative to the seal block () so as to reduce the likelihood of a leak by being centrally positioned relative to the cable opening through the seal block.
