A fiber optic enclosure assembly for protecting an optical fiber includes a tubular body member, an end member and a coupling member. The tubular body member has first and second opposed ends and defines an interior body passage to receive a portion of the optical fiber. The end member is separately formed from the body member and is mounted on the first end thereof. The coupling member is directly bonded to each of the body member and the end member to secure the end member to the body member and to form an environmental seal between the end member and the body member. The body member and the end member are formed of dissimilar materials, the material of the body member being more flexible than the material of the end member. The coupling member is formed of a material capable of forming a secure bond with both the material of the body member and the material of the end member.

Therefore it is possible to assemble the OPPC cable (), the OU leading-down connector (), the preformed armor rod assembly (), the first link fitting (), the residual cable rack (), the second link fitting (), the insulator string () on the ground all together. Then the whole assemble can be erected on to the tower. Just as the conventional overhead power line construction. So it is simple and saving in work. 113467831374678111112132.

Принадлежит:

A novel panel-mountable fiber optic cable feedthrough is described that has two main body parts that can be brought together around a fiber optic cable and secured in place to prevent slippage of the cable. Use of two such main body parts that split along a plane that passes through the axis of the fiber optic cable allows joining the two main parts at any position along the cable without the need to thread the cable through a pre-formed cylindrical cavity in the body of the feedthrough. The main parts for this fiber optic feedthrough can be made by plastic injection molding suitably shaped to relieve bending strain in the glass optical fiber(s) within the cable. The foot-print for mounting such a feedthrough can be made compatible with that of a number of popular fiber optic connector mounts, including the SC-connector. 1. A panel-mountable fiber optic cable feedthrough that is comprised of two main body parts each including an open semicircular channel and a flange such that (1) when these parts are assembled around a fiber optic cable and joined together by a mechanical securing means the two semicircular channels in the said main body parts from a full circular cavity around a fiber optic cable with a sufficiently tight fit that the fiber optic cable is held in place relative to the feedthrough and (2) each flange includes at least one penetrating hole so that the feedthrough can be positioned with the holes in the two flanges co-axial and adjacent to similar penetrating holes in an equipment panel and secured to the panel by fasteners , such as screws that fit into threaded holes in the equipment panel or with optional matching nuts if the screws pass entirely through the equipment panel , or with some other functionally similar fastener means.2.

PANEL-MOUNTABLE FIBER OPTIC CABLE FEEDTHROUGH

Номер: US20170269319A1
Автор: Miller Gary Evan
Принадлежит:

A novel panel-mountable fiber optic cable feedthrough is described that has two main body parts that can be brought together around single or multiple fiber optic cables and secured in place to prevent slippage of the cable(s). Use of two such main body parts that split along a plane that passes through the axis of the fiber optic cable(s) allows joining the two main parts at any position along the cable(s) without the need to thread the cable(s) through a one or more pre-formed cylindrical cavities in the body of the feedthrough. The main parts for this fiber optic feedthrough can be made by plastic injection molding suitably shaped to relieve bending strain in the glass optical fiber(s) within the cable(s). The foot-print for mounting such a feedthrough can be made compatible with that of a number of popular fiber optic connector mounts, including the SC-connector.
