Fiber optic closure assemblies, fiber drop access points, and methods for installing fiber drop access points

A fiber drop access point comprising:

• a vault;
• and
• a fiber enclosure positioned within the vault, wherein:
• the vault defines a vault volume sized to receive the fiber enclosure;
• the fiber enclosure comprises an upper body portion and a lower body portion coupled to the upper body portion;
• the upper body portion defines a primary volume;
• the lower body portion extends from the upper body portion and defines an inlet volume in communication with the primary volume, the lower body portion comprising a port wall comprising a plurality of ports;
• and
• the port wall is recessed from an outer edge of the upper body portion, such that the plurality of ports is positioned in a separate plane from the upper body portion and recessed from the outer edge of the upper body portion a distance larger than or equal to a bend radius of a cable connected thereto;
• and
• an inlet lateral channel, an outlet lateral channel, and one or more drop fiber channels in communication with the vault, an express fiber cable, and one or more drop fiber cables, wherein:
• the plurality of ports comprises a plurality of drop cable ports and an express fiber cable port;
• the express fiber cable, positioned within the inlet lateral channel, extends into the vault volume where the express fiber cable enters the fiber enclosure at the express fiber cable port, exits the fiber enclosure, and extends into the outlet lateral channel;
• the one or more drop fiber cables extends from one or more drop cable ports of the plurality of drop cable ports through the one or more drop fiber channels;
• and
• a slack of the express fiber cable and the one or more drop fiber cables are wound substantially within a footprint of the fiber enclosure.
