Cable access terminal configured to permit access to a component in the terminal and prevent access to another component in the terminal

A cable access terminal comprising:

• a base portion configured to define a base area;
• a moving portion structurally configured to be attached to the base portion by a connection portion such that the moving portion is structurally configured to move relative to the base portion while remaining attached to the base portion;
• a fastener that is structurally configured to secure the moving portion to the base portion in a closed position;
• a moving portion upper cover portion that is structurally configured to prevent access to an upper area of the moving portion;
• wherein the moving portion is structurally configured to prevent access to the base area in the closed position;
• wherein the moving portion upper cover portion is structurally configured to prevent access to a first side of an adapter portion as a result of the moving portion upper cover portion being secured to the moving portion by the fastener;
• and
• wherein the moving portion is structurally configured to permit access to the first side of the adapter portion and to the base area when the fastener is removed and to prevent access to the first side of the adapter portion and to the base area, while permitting access to the second side of the adapter portion, when the fastener is in place, so as to provide only limited access to users unauthorized to access a component in the base area.
