Abstract
An outlet box having a frontal opening and faceplate assembly including an insert received within the outlet box and defining a forwardly opening bore and a faceplate mounted on the outlet box and forming a closure for the frontal opening. A fiber optic bulkhead connector is mounted on the faceplate for coupling to an elongated optical fiber, a portion of which is stored in coiled condition within the bore. When the faceplate is removed from the outlet box, the coiled portion of the fiber allows the faceplate to be moved a substantial distance from the outlet box for access to the coupled connection between the optical fiber and the bulkhead connector without subjecting the fiber to excessive bending stress.
