Sealable Communication Cable Connection Assemblies

摘要

Communication device connection assemblies are described. The sealable connection assemblies are configured to provide water-tight connections for various data transmission elements, including cables, network devices, and computing devices. The connection assemblies may be used for various data transmission protocols, such as fiber optic connections. A compression element of the connection assembly may be configured to engage and compress a sealing element against a communication cable extending through the sealable connection assembly when a tension element is coupled to the inner body, thereby forming a seal between the sealable element and the communication cable. The connection assemblies may include a retainer body configured to form a grip or retention force with a communication cable sufficient to reduce and/or eliminate any forces on the communication cable (i.e., bending and/or straight pull forces) from being transferred to and/or otherwise effecting other components of the connection assembly, such as sealing elements thereof.

主权项

1. A sealable connection assembly comprising:
a sealing element arranged such that at least one communication cable extends through the sealable connection assembly; and a compression element configured to engage the sealing element and arranged to at least partially surround a portion of the sealing element; a retainer body having a contact end to engage and compress at least a portion of the compression element around the sealing element, thereby compressing the sealing element against the at least one communication cable to form a seal area.
