Abstract
Provided herein are a telecommunications enclosure (1) and a method for coupling a cable (6) to a cable port (15) of the telecommunications enclosure (1). The base (10) comprises an outer structure (11) having an inner opening (12), and an inner assembly (130) comprising an inner structure (13), adapted to be removably inserted within the inner opening (12), and a plurality of sealing modules (14), each comprising a first part (14a) and a second part (14b). The outer structure (11) comprises a plurality of receiving portions (16) each having a recess (161) adapted to receive at least said first part (14a) of a respective sealing module (14) of the plurality of sealing modules (14). The base (10) is commutable between an assembled condition and a disassembled condition.
Claims11
A telecommunications enclosure comprising:
- a casing, defining an inner cavity for housing a telecommunications module, and
- a base adapted to be removably coupled to the casing to close the casing, the base comprising:
- an outer structure having an inner opening;
- an inner assembly comprising an inner structure, adapted to be removably inserted within the inner opening of the outer structure, and
- a plurality of sealing modules, each comprising a first part and a second part;
- wherein the outer structure comprises a plurality of receiving portions each having a recess adapted to receive at least said first part of a respective sealing module of the plurality of sealing modules;
- wherein the base is commutable between an assembled condition and a disassembled condition;
- wherein in the assembled condition, the sealing modules, the inner structure and the outer structure are coupled to each other, the inner assembly is inserted within the inner opening of the outer structure and, for each sealing module, at least said first part is received in the respective recess, the second part is coupled to the inner structure and said first part and second part define a corresponding cable port;
- wherein in the disassembled condition, at least part of the inner assembly is removed from the inner opening of the outer structure to enable insertion of a cable into the respective cable port;
- and
- wherein in both the assembled condition and disassembled condition, the plurality of receiving portions of the outer structure are connected to each other.
