Fiber optic enclosure with internal cable spool

摘要

A fiber optic enclosure assembly includes a housing having an interior region and a bearing mount disposed in the interior region of the housing. A cable spool is connectedly engaged with the bearing mount such that the cable spool selectively rotates within the housing. A termination module disposed on the cable spool so that the termination module rotates in unison with the cable spool. A method of paying out a fiber optic cable from a fiber optic enclosure includes rotating a cable spool, which has a subscriber cable coiled around a spooling portion of the cable spool, about an axis of a housing of the fiber optic enclosure until a desired length of subscriber cable is paid out. A termination module is disposed on the cable spool.

1. A fiber optic enclosure assembly comprising:
a housing having an interior; a cable spool positioned within the interior of the housing, wherein the cable spool rotates about an axis relative to the housing to allow the first portion of the fiber optic cable to be paid out from the interior of the housing; a fiber optic cable wound around the cable spool, the fiber optic cable having a first end and a second end; and a fiber optic adapter mounted on the cable spool, the fiber optic adapter receiving the first end of the fiber optic cable, the fiber optic adapter being carried with the cable spool as the cable spool is rotated about the axis to allow the second end of the fiber optic cable to be paid out from the interior of the housing, the fiber optic adapter being configured to couple the first end of the fiber optic cable to a connectorized end of a subscriber optical fiber within the interior of the housing.
