Abstract:
A closure ( 15 ) is installed at a network distribution point to facilitate upgrading a subscriber network ( 10 ) to extend optical fibers closer to the subscribers ( 18 ). The closure ( 15 ) may include active equipment to convert optical signals to electrical signals. The closure ( 15 ) enables a plug-and-play connection to the active equipment to facilitate installing and/or upgrading active equipment at the closure ( 15 ). The closure ( 15 ) also is expandable to enable drop cables (or other optical cable) to be routed from the closure ( 15 ) towards the subscribers ( 18 ).

Claim (Index 2):
An enclosure comprising:\n an active equipment module defining a first sealed interior, the active equipment module also defining a sealed electrical connection location accessible from an exterior of the active equipment module, the sealed electrical connection location providing electrical access to the first sealed interior; a fiber-to-electrical signal converter disposed within the first sealed interior of the active equipment module, the fiber-to-electrical signal converter being electrically coupled to the sealed electrical connection location; a fiber management module coupled to the active equipment module, the fiber management module cooperating with the active equipment module to define a second interior, the fiber management module being movable relative to the active equipment module between a closed position and an open position, the second interior being sealed when the fiber management module disposed in the closed position, the second interior being accessible from an exterior of the enclosure when the fiber management module is in the open position, the fiber management module defining a first sealed fiber connection location and a second sealed fiber connection location accessible from an exterior of the fiber management module, the first and second sealed fiber connection locations providing optical access to the second interior even when the fiber management module is in the closed position; and an optical circuit extending between the first sealed fiber connection location of the fiber management module and the fiber-to-electrical signal converter.
