ABSTRACT:
An enclosure for interconnecting multiple branch connections from a trunk communications carrier. A housing supports a terminal block having connections for multiple branch cables and includes an opening for routing signal carrying cable into the housing from the trunk communications carrier. The housing also has multiple spaced apart access openings that extend along one wall of said housing to enable branch cables to be routed away from the housing from the terminal connector. A grommet assembly has a grommet strip defining multiple exit regions spaced along the grommet strip for alignment with the access openings in said one wall of the housing when secured to the housing. A plate that overlies the grommet strip for securing the grommet strip in contact with the housing and that defines a series of spaced apart openings that align with the access openings in the one housing wall and that also align with the exit regions of the grommet strip for allowing one or more branch cables to exit the plate, grommet strip and one housing wall for connection to the terminal connector.
