A fiber optic enclosure can include a housing including a base and a cover that selectively cooperates with the base to form an internal cavity in a first, closed condition, and allow access when the cover is oriented in a second, open position relative to the base. A cable inlet is dimensioned to receive an associated cable therethrough. A split grommet is received in the housing inlet and dimensioned to form a seal between the housing and the associated cable. The enclosure can include at least first and second adapter connectors that each project through the housing and that each include a first portion inside the cavity and a second portion outside the cavity, wherein the second portion of each adapter connector is configured to releasably connect with an associated respective drop cable and wherein the first portion of each adapter connector is configured to releasably connect with an associated optical fiber connector of the associated cable.
A process of installing a fiber optic system wherein the system includes a fiber optic cable, at least one drop cable, and an enclosure having an inlet dimensioned to the fiber optic cable and at least one adapter connector to connect to at least one drop cable, the process comprising:
A fiber optic enclosure comprising:
