Overhead cable termination arrangement

摘要

A method of terminating a cable includes: a) providing an overhead cable pathway structure that defines a cable-carrying region; b) mounting adapters to the overhead cable pathway structure outside of the cable-carrying region; c) routing a cable from the cable-carrying region of the overhead cable pathway structure to the adapter mounted to the cable pathway structure; and d) terminating the cable to the adapter.

1. A method of terminating a cable, the method comprising the steps of:
a) providing an overhead cable pathway structure that defines a cable-carrying region, wherein the overhead cable pathway structure is above and separate from telecommunication equipment; b) providing a cable termination device having a cable pathway exit so that a first portion of the cable pathway exit extends from the cable-carrying region of the overhead cable pathway structure and a second portion of the cable pathway exit is outside of the cable-carrying region of the overhead cable pathway structure; c) mounting at least one adapter to the outer portion of the cable pathway exit outside of the cable-carrying region, the at least one adapter being positioned separate from the telecommunication equipment; d) routing a cable from the cable-carrying region of the overhead cable pathway structure to the at least one adapter mounted to the cable pathway structure; e) terminating the cable to the at least one adapter; and f) routing a second cable from the at least one adapter to the telecommunication equipment.
