Abstract
A fiber distribution frame includes an enclosure having an exposed face. A door is connected to the enclosure for opening and closing with respect to the exposed face. A post is connected to the enclosure, a strap is connected at a first end to the post, and a latch is connected to the door. The latch has a receptacle for receiving a fastener, and a a conduit for receiving the strap. The receptacle and the conduit adjoin one another such that, when the door is closed and a second end of the strap is inserted through the conduit, a fastener fastened into the receptacle holds the strap in the conduit in order to connect the latch to the post and thereby lock the door closed. A diffuser component is attachable to the door for absorbing radiation from fiber optic components disposed within the enclosure when the door is closed.
