ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber cable termination apparatus for use with an optical fiber cable including a plurality of optical fibers includes at least one optical fiber enclosure assembly. Each optical fiber enclosure assembly includes a housing member and a cover member. The housing member defines an interior cavity and includes: a fiber entrance port in communication with the interior cavity to receive the optical fibers therethrough; a fiber exit port in communication with the interior cavity to receive the optical fibers therethrough; at least one connector port in communication with the interior cavity to receive an optical fiber connector; an access opening in communication with the interior cavity; and a first set of screw threads. The cover member includes a second set of screw threads and is mounted on the housing member by engaging the second set of screw threads with the first set of screw threads and rotating the cover member relative to the housing member. The cover member covers the access opening and encloses the interior cavity.
