ABSTRACT:
An aerial enclosure for use in distributing above ground fiber optic communications signals from a signal source such as a central office to a customer site. The enclosure has first and second enclosure segments that can be separated to expose an enclosure interior where a termination panel is mounted that includes a row of terminal contact pairs to which copper cables are connected for routing conventional telecommunications signals away from the enclosure interior to a customer site. The enclosure includes a communications subsystem mounted within the enclosure having a first fiber optic portion for routing outgoing light signals to an optical network unit outside the enclosure for conversion to electrical signals. A copper portion of the communications subsystem incoming telecommunications signals back into the enclosure where they are redistributed from one or more of the plurality of terminal contact pairs by copper cables to one or more customer sites. A splice connection between a fiber optic strand from an overhead cable is spliced to the first fiber optic portion of the communications subsystem and then positioned within a splice enclosure for environmentally sealing the splice within the aerial enclosure.
