Abstract:
A fiber optic termination sealingly connects to a cable which includes a casing having a cable tube and optical fibers. The termination includes a sealed housing, a manifold, a connector and termination tubes. The housing has an inlet to sealably receive the cable. The fibers extend from an end of the cable into a sealed chamber of the housing. The manifold is positionable in the housing, and has an inlet to receive the fibers and sealed passages shaped to distribute the fibers therethrough the connector includes contacts communicatively connectable to equipment and the fibers. The termination tubes are positionable within the chamber of housing, and have an entry end sealingly connectable to an end of the cable tube and a contact end sealingly connectable to the contacts. The manifold sealingly connectable to the termination tubes to define a sealed channel the optical fibers are disposable through the sealed channel whereby the housing and the termination tubes define a multi-layer protective environment for sealingly encasing the optical fibers.

Claim (Index 1):
A fiber optic termination for communicatively connecting a cable to equipment, the cable comprising a casing having at least one cable tube therethrough, the at least one cable tube having optical fibers extending therethrough, the fiber optic termination comprising:\n a sealed housing having an inlet to sealably receive an end portion of the cable, a cover of the optical fibers removed at the inlet, the optical fibers extendable from an end of the cable into a sealed chamber of the sealed housing; at least one manifold positionable in the sealed housing, the manifold having a manifold inlet to receive the optical fibers of the cable, a plurality of outlets to pass the optical fibers therethrough, and paths extending from the inlet to each of the plurality of outlets, the paths shaped to distribute the optical fibers from the inlet and through the plurality of outlets; at least one connector positioned about the sealed housing, the connector comprising contacts communicatively connectable to the equipment each of the contacts connectable to the optical fibers extending from a corresponding one of the plurality of outlets; and termination tubes positionable within the sealed chamber of the sealed housing to define sealed channels to receive the optical fibers therethrough, a portion of the termination tubes sealingly connectable between the cable tube and the manifold inlet, another portion of the termination tubes sealingly connectable between each of the plurality of outlets of the manifold and a corresponding one of the contacts, the optical fibers disposable through the sealed channels whereby the sealed housing, manifold, and the termination tubes define a multi-layer protective environment for sealingly encasing the optical fibers.
