A fiber optic cable entry connector (10) is described that facilitates integration of fiber optic cables with trunk housing of the type utilized in the CATV industry. The entry connector provides EMI/RFI shielding and weather sealing and is readily compatible with existing fiber optic cables. The entry connector (10) may be reused and may be cycled open and closed to facilitate access to the cable. The entry connector (10) includes a clamp assembly (12) and an entry body (20) that are configured to be mated in combination. The clamp assembly (12) is configured to secure the cable with the connector and the cable. The clamp assembly (12) may be readily adapted to accommodate any sized existing fiber optic cables. The entry body (20) is configured to interface with the trunk housing via a threaded port (34) thereof such as standard 5/8-24, 3/4-24, 7/8-24 or 1-24 entry or test ports associated with the housing. Sealing members may be disposed in combination with the entry body (24) to provide weather sealing for the connector and between the entry body (20) and the trunk enclosure. The clamp assembly (12) and the entry body (70) are keyed to preclude rotation of the cable. |
