ABSTRACT:
An aerial fiber optic cable case comprises an elongated boxlike housing, openings at the ends of the housing for insertion therein from the side of an unbroken aerial fiber optic distribution cable and further insertion therein of the ends of one or more aerial fiber optic drop cables; seals for the passage of such cables through such openings, a tray reversibly mounted with the housing for supporting optical splices between one or more distribution cable fibers and one or more drop cable fibers, and a support frame including two hangers for fastening such case to hang from an aerial support strand. The container formed of the housing and lid is pivotably mounted relative to the hangers to be angularly movable relative thereto between forward and rear limit positions of angular tilt. The lid is slidable forward and back on the housing and is contained to such sliding motion until the lid reaches a rear position at which it can be pivoted to angularly move relative to the housing and to fold down to hang down from the housing in juxtaposition with its back side.
