ABSTRACT:
A cap (10) for a modular telecom connection jack assembly comprises a housing (12) including an aperture (14) to receive a cable (18) therethrough. A pair of jaws (20, 22) is operably associated with the housing (12) and movable relative to each other between an open configuration (Po) and a closed configuration (Pc). The relative positions of the jaws (20, 22) in the closed configuration (Pc) is determined by latch means operably associated with the jaws (20, 22) to limit relative movement of the jaws (20, 22). The cap (10) further comprises biasing means operably associated with the jaws (30, 32) to bias the jaws (20, 22) from the open configuration (Po) towards the closed configuration (Pc). The jaws (20, 22), in use, are movable to the open configuration (Po) to permit insertion of a cable (18) through the aperture (14) in the housing (12) and, on release, are caused to move by the biasing means towards the closed configuration (Pc) to clamp the cable (18) therebetween. The cap (10) may be used in combination with a termination assembly (44) and/or a housing assembly (62).
