Patent ID: RE43762

Claim:
A fiber access terminal assembly comprising: a fiber optic distribution cable with a first end and a second end; an enclosure at the second end of the fiber optic distribution cable, the enclosure including a first piece and a second piece opposite the first piece, the first and second pieces cooperating to define an interior, the enclosure having a cable pass-through end, a non-pass-through end opposite the cable pass-through end, a front face, and a rear face opposite the front face; the first piece and second piece joined at an environmental seal; the enclosure defining a plurality of mounting faces projecting outwardly on the front face and angled toward the cable pass-through end, and a plurality of openings disposed through the mounting faces and sized to receive fiber optic connections; the enclosure including a tab integrally formed at the non-pass-through end of the enclosure that projects outwardly from the non-pass-through end, the tab including an attachment opening substantially perpendicular to an axis running from the non-pass-through end to the cable pass-through end; the cable pass-through end of the enclosure including an opening through which the fiber optic distribution cable enters/exits the interior of the enclosure; the fiber optic distribution cable including a plurality of optical fiber strands fibers , the plurality of optical fiber strands fibers separated from the fiber optic distribution cable within the interior and terminated with fiber optic connectors; the enclosure including a plurality of fiber optic connections adapters extending through the plurality of openings on the plurality of mounting faces of the enclosure, each of the connections adapters having a first end within accessible from the interior and configured to receive one of the connectors of the optical fiber strands fibers within the interior, and a second end accessible from outside the enclosure and configured to receive a connector of an optical fiber drop cable extending to an exterior of the fiber enclosure.
