DROP TERMINAL WITH ANCHOR BLOCK FOR RETAINING A STUB CABLE

摘要

The drop terminal (200) includes a plurality of fiber optic adapters (214) having outer connector ports (216) that are accessible from outside the drop terminal. The drop terminal receives a fiber optic cable (222) having a plurality of optical fibers. Fiber optic connectors (230) are positioned at the ends of the optical fibers. The fiber optic connectors are inserted into inner connector ports (218) of the fiber optic adapters. The drop terminal also includes an anchor block (224) for securing the fiber optic cable to a main housing of the drop terminal. The anchor block can be secured to the main housing of the drop terminal by a mechanical interlock. The drop terminal may also include a transparent interior shield (232) or liner that retains fibers in position within the drop terminal during assembly of the drop terminal.
