Abstract

A fiber optic closure assembly includes a base having an opening for receiving an incoming fiber optic cable along a longitudinal axis. A perimeter shoulder extending outwardly from a substantially planar surface of the base. A housing is dimensioned for receipt on the base and has a cover that when joined to the base encloses a cavity. The housing includes a substantially planar wall with at least one opening therethrough parallel to the longitudinal axis and through which an associated bulkhead may be mounted to provide operative communication between an optical fiber operatively connected to the incoming fiber optic cable and an outgoing drop line.
