TELECOMMUNICATION CLOSURES

摘要

An optical fiber enclosure for a pedestal environment includes a pedestal which slideably supports a closure within the pedestal along a vertical direction so that during freeze-thaw envionrmental conditions when the pedestal is raised and lowered by expanding and contracting earth the closure does not impose undue stress on optical fiber cables connected thereto. Another enclosure suitable for buried applications also includes means for slideably extending an inner closure therefrom along a vertical direction to aid a craftsperson in accessing and working on the inner closure, the buried enclosure including means for allowing one or more loops of telecommunications cable to be stored therewithin for allowing the inner closure to be removed a substantial distance therefrom.
