Optical connection terminals for fiber optic communications networks

An optical connection terminal for a fiber optic communications network, the terminal comprising:

• a base, the base comprising an exterior wall;
• a cover connected to the base, wherein an interior cavity is defined between the base and the cover, the cover comprising a bottom panel, a first end wall, a second opposing end wall, a first sidewall, and a second opposing sidewall, wherein the bottom panel extends between the first end wall and opposing second end wall and between the first side wall and second opposing sidewall;
• an exterior channel defined in the bottom panel;
• a stub cable port defined in the bottom panel within the exterior channel of the cover;
• a plurality of connector ports defined in the exterior wall of the base;
• a stub cable connector, the stub cable connector comprising a main body and a connector body, the main body disposed within the exterior channel and the connector body extending through the stub cable port into the interior cavity, wherein the stub cable connector further comprises a cover panel, the cover panel connected to the main body;
• and
• a stub cable connected to the stub cable connector, the stub cable comprising a plurality of optical fibers extending through the stub cable connector and into the interior cavity.
