ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber enclosure system having a storage and splicing enclosure and one or more termination enclosures. The storage and splicing enclosure contains ports on all four of its sides that allow external fiber optic cables to access the interior of the enclosure. The storage and splicing enclosure includes hardware for storage of excess optical fiber and outer protective cabling components, grounding and securing spliced optical fibers. Termination enclosures may be attached to the any of the four sides of the storage and splicing enclosure. The storage and splicing enclosure has ports on all four of its sides that mate with ports on the termination enclosures to permit optical fiber to run therebetween. The termination enclosures includes hardware for mounting modules for terminating optical fibers. Attached to the termination modules are optical fibers that extend from the termination enclosure through ports in the termination enclosure and storage and splicing enclosure and into the storage and splicing enclosure. Those optical fibers are spliced to optical fibers forming the fiber optic cables in the storage and splicing enclosure. Additional fiber optic cables attached to the termination modules exit the termination enclosure through ports and run to an equipment rack at the customer premises where the optical fibers can be attached to customer equipment.
