FIBER OPTICAL CABLE ASSEMBLY WITH SEALED COUPLING MECHANISM

摘要

A sealing enclosure for a connector on a terminated end of a cable includes an inner housing and an outer housing. In a first embodiment, the inner housing is permanently affixed and sealed to a section of the cable adjacent to the connector. The outer housing slides over the inner housing and has attachment features at a forward end of the outer housing for attaching to an enclosure surrounding a port for the connector. In a second embodiment, the outer housing has a sealing member attached to an inner circumference thereof, wherein when the outer housing is slid forward along the inner housing, the sealing member engages an outer surface of the inner housing to seal the outer housing to the inner housing.
