Abstract
An access control device for permitting access to a coaxial cable component while selectively blocking access to a fiber optical component including an access control panel member configured to be coupled to a coaxial cable component while blocking access to a fiber optical component, the coaxial cable component configured to be coupled to a coaxial cable and an optical fiber configuration base member configured to be coupled to an optical fiber component and to arrange the optical fiber component so as to create a peripheral optical fiber cable path around a portion of the optical fiber component.
Claims28
A segregation panel for an enclosure to control access to a fiber optical cable portion, a fiber optical converter, a coaxial input cable, a cable splitter, and a plurality of output cable portions, comprising:
- an upper panel portion configured to move between a closed position, where the upper panel portion prevents access to an upper portion of a fiber optical converter when the fiber optical converter is partially enclosed in an enclosure, and an open position, where the upper panel portion allows access to the upper portion of the fiber optical converter;
- a sidewall panel portion configured to extend from the upper panel portion so as to prevent access to a side portion of the fiber optical converter when the upper panel portion is in the closed position, and allow access to the side portion of the fiber optical converter when the upper panel portion is in the open position;
- an extension panel portion configured to extend from the upper panel portion so as to prevent access to the fiber optical cable portion when the upper panel portion in the close position, and allow access to the fiber optical cable portion when the upper panel portion is in the open position;
- wherein the upper panel portion includes a first edge portion configured to fit within a first sidewall portion of the enclosure so as to prevent access to an upper portion of the fiber optical converter between the first edge portion and the first sidewall portion when the upper panel portion is in the closed position;
- wherein the upper panel portion includes a second edge portion configured to fit within a second sidewall portion of the enclosure so as to prevent access to the upper portion of the fiber optical converter between the second edge portion and the second sidewall portion when the upper panel portion is in the closed position;
- wherein the upper panel portion includes a third edge portion configured to fit within a third sidewall portion of the enclosure so as to prevent access to the upper portion of the fiber optical converter between the third edge portion and the third sidewall portion when the upper panel portion is in the closed position;
- wherein the sidewall panel portion includes a lower edge portion configured to face a lower wall portion of the enclosure that extends from the first sidewall portion to the third sidewall portion so as to prevent access to a side portion of the fiber optical converter between the lower edge portion and the lower wall portion when the upper panel portion is in the closed position;
- wherein the extension panel portion includes a first edge panel extension portion that is configured to fit within a fourth sidewall portion of the enclosure so as to prevent access to the fiber optical cable portion between the first edge panel extension portion and the fourth sidewall portion when the upper panel portion is in the closed position;
- and
- wherein the extension panel portion includes a second edge panel extension portion that is configured to fit within the third sidewall portion of the enclosure so as to prevent access to the fiber optical cable portion between the second edge panel extension and the third sidewall portion when the upper panel portion is in the closed position.
