Telecommunications cable enclosure
View Patent ↗An adaptor for use with a telecommunications enclosure includes a body having a port extending therethrough from a first end of the body to a second end of the body. The first end of the body is configured for mounting within an opening of a telecommunications housing along a first axis. The port adjacent the second end of the adaptor is configured to receive a connection device receptacle therein along a second axis different from the first axis. A retention device is positioned adjacent the second end of the body and configured to retain a connection device receptacle within the port.
1. An adaptor for use with a telecommunications housing having an opening extending through a wall thereof, said adaptor comprising:
a body having a port extending therethrough from a first end of the body to a second end of the body, wherein a first portion of the body adjacent the first end extends along a first longitudinal axis and is configured for mounting and axially rotating within an opening of a telecommunications housing, and wherein a second portion of the body adjacent the second end extends along a second longitudinal axis laterally offset from the first longitudinal axis; and
a retention device positioned adjacent the second end of the body and configured to releasably retain a connection device receptacle within the port.
2. The adaptor of claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the body has a size and shape matching a size and shape of the opening of the telecommunications housing.
3. The adaptor of claim 1 , wherein the port in the second portion of the body is configured for receiving a plurality of connection devices.
4. The adaptor of claim 1 , wherein the port in the second portion of the body is configured for receiving at least one of the connection device receptacle.
5. The adaptor of claim 4 , further comprising the connection device receptacle removably disposed in the port adjacent the second end of the body.
6. The adaptor of claim 5 , wherein the connection device receptacle comprises a sealing member for closing the distal end of the port.
7. The adaptor of claim 5 , wherein the connection device receptacle comprises an alignment device for aligning at least first and second connection portions.
8. The adaptor of claim 1 , wherein the first longitudinal axis is offset from the second longitudinal axis by a distance of at least 5 mm.
9. The adaptor of claim 1 , wherein the retention device adjacent the second end of the body is releasably engaged with the second end of the body.
10. The adaptor of claim 1 , wherein the first longitudinal axis is parallel to the second longitudinal axis.
11. The adaptor of claim 1 further comprising a moisture seal disposed in the port adjacent the second end of the body, the moisture seal configured to form a moisture barrier around a connection device receptacle within the port.
12. An adaptor for a telecommunications housing having an opening extending through a wall thereof, comprising:
a body having a port extending therethrough from a first end of the body to a second end of the body, the first end of the body configured for mounting and axially rotating within an opening of a telecommunications housing along a first axis, and the port adjacent the second end configured to receive a connection device receptacle therein along a second axis, wherein the first axis is different from the second axis; and
a retention device positioned adjacent the second end of the body and configured to releasably retain the connection device receptacle within the port.
13. The adaptor of claim 12 , wherein the first axis is laterally offset from the second axis.
14. The adaptor of claim 12 , wherein the first axis is angularly disposed with respect to the second axis.
15. The adaptor of claim 12 , wherein the retention device is releasably engaged with the second end of the body.
