Cable splice enclosure and components

摘要

An enclosure for facilitating and protecting splices or connections between communication transmission mediums can include a housing having a first port and a drop port. The first port can allow a distribution cable containing a transmission medium to enter the housing. The drop port can allow another transmission medium to enter the housing, and it can allow a transmission medium to be added or removed without disturbing existing transmission mediums or connections in the housing. A drop plug can be provided to seal the drop port. The enclosure can also include a cover plate having a gasket coupled to its perimeter and being removable with the cover plate. Strain relief for the transmission mediums entering the enclosure can also be provided. Two-stage strain relief and single-stage strain relief can be provided for the transmission mediums entering through the first port and the drop port, respectively.
