Abstract:
An optical fiber distribution module includes a base having a surrounding wall, a cover, and a sealing element in the cover. A pair of cable ports are formed in the base wall to pass an outdoor fiber distribution cable through an interior region of the module. One or more fiber ports in the wall pass corresponding drop fibers from the interior region where the fibers connect to designated fibers of the distribution cable, to a number of premises for which the fibers are designated inside a multi-dwelling unit building. Grommet seals are dimensioned and formed to be inserted in any unused fiber ports, and to surround the distribution cable and the drop fibers in their corresponding ports. The grommet seals cooperate with the sealing element in the cover to seal all the ports from the environment when the module is closed.

Claim (Index 1):
An optical fiber distribution module, comprising:\n a base; a cover; a sealing element disposed in the cover; the base has a surrounding wall, and a pair of cable ports formed in the wall at opposite sides of the base for passing a network distribution cable through the interior region of the module; one or more fiber ports formed in the wall of the base to pass corresponding drop fibers from the interior region of the module where the drop fibers can be connected to designated fibers of the distribution cable, to a number of premises inside a multi-dwelling unit (MDU) building for which the fibers are designated; first grommets associated with the fiber ports, wherein each first grommet is dimensioned and formed to be seated in an unused fiber port, and to cooperate with the sealing element in the cover when the cover is fastened to the base so that the port is sealed from the outdoor environment when the module is closed; and second grommets associated with the cable ports and the fiber ports, wherein each second grommet has a hole dimensioned to pass the distribution cable or a given drop fiber, and to surround the cable or the drop fiber in sealing relationship when the second grommet is urged with the cable or the drop fiber into a corresponding port, wherein the second grommets cooperate with the sealing element in the cover when the cover is fastened to the base so that the port is sealed from the outdoor environment when the module is closed.
