Abstract
A cable closure assembly includes a rotatable collar secured to an end plate for rotating the end plate with respect to the closure. Drop ports and express ports are provided within the end plate to accommodate either cut or uncut cables within the closure. Grommet and cap tools are provided which consist of two pieces to be installed over cables after the cables are inserted into the closure. A modular closure system is provided including a dome closure and extender or expander closures to increase storage and splicing area within the dome closure. A sliding and locking bracket allows for movement and pivoting of splice trays to access splice trays below other stacked trays. An extender for a strength member bracket accommodates various lengths of strength members on the cable fiber cable. A bracket on an end of a rigid bar member permits wrapping of the cable within the closure and positions the cable within the closure.
