Abstract:
A connector closure for fiber optical cables includes a base portion having first and second compartments. One of the first and second compartments is designed to have a cover or door that allow selective access, while the other compartment signed for only authorized access. The connector closure features universal mounting arrangements, e.g., aerial, surface/wall, pedestal, or vault arrangements. Further, the closure may incorporate a splice enclosure.

Claim (Index 10):
A modular connector closure for attachment to a splice case comprising:\n a body portion adapted to attach to cover a bottom splice case including, a base wall and a sidewall, wherein the sidewall extends around and perpendicularly from an external perimeter of the base wall; a removable knockout panel provided in the base wall, wherein the removal of the knockout panel provides an opening in the base wall to access components in the splice case from the connector closure; a separation wall extending from and perpendicular to the base wall that forms a first compartment and a second compartment defined by the base wall, sidewall, and the separation wall, the first compartment providing access to the bottom splice case, and the second compartment including at least one associated distribution component; at least one connector receptacle mounted in the separation wall that establishes a signal connection between an associated cable accessible in the first compartment to an associated distribution component located in the second compartment; and a first cover that encloses the first compartment and a second cover that encloses the second compartment, wherein the second cover is hinged to the sidewall such that the second cover has an open state allowing access to the second compartment and a closed state preventing access to the second compartment.
