Abstract
Certain types of aggregation enclosures include cable input ports and downwardly angled cable output ports. A cover is pivotally coupled to the body so that the cover moves between an open position and a closed position. A modular component panel may be disposed within the enclosure. The component panel includes one or more distribution components (e.g., fiber distribution components or power distribution components) configured to connect at least a portion of an incoming cable to at least a portion of an outgoing cable.
Claims21
An enclosure assembly comprising:
- an enclosure including a first housing part and a second housing part that cooperate to define a sealed interior of the enclosure, the enclosure being elongated between a first end and a second end, the enclosure defining an input port at the first end, the enclosure including first and second sides extending between the first end and the second end;
- an optical line extending into the interior of the enclosure through the input port;
- a power line extending into the interior of the enclosure through the input port;
- and
- a plurality of output ports disposed at the enclosure, the output ports including sealing structures that seal the interior of the enclosure from an external environment of the enclosure, the sealing structures including ruggedized connection interfaces so that hybrid output cables received at the ruggedized connection interfaces are optically coupled to the optical line and electrically connected to the power line, the output ports including a plurality of first output ports disposed along the first side of the enclosure and a plurality of second output ports disposed along the second side of the enclosure.
