OPTICAL FIBER TERMINATION APPARATUS, ENTRY SEALING MEMBERS AND METHODS FOR USING THE SAME

摘要

An optical fiber termination apparatus includes a body portion having a n optical fiber outlet therein and a connector receiving portion extending fro m the body portion and having an outer wall defining an optical fiber connector receivi ng chamber and having an opening to the connector receiving chamber at an end thereof spaced from the body portion. An optical connector is positioned in the opening, wherein the opening is configured to receive the optical connector therein without rotating the optical connector relative to the connector receiving portion. A sealing member is positioned between the optical connector and the outer wall of the connector receiving portion to seal a gap therebetween. A cover is positione d on the optical connector and the connector receiving portion that retains the optic al connector in the opening and compresses the sealing member between the outer wall of the connector receiving portion and the optical connector without rotatin g the optical connector relative to the connector receiving portion.
