Abstract
Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relate to an enclosure (10) including a housing, a volume of sealant (66) that defines a port (28) in communication with an interior of the housing, and a fiber optic connection module (32) including a sleeve that mounts within the port with the volume of sealant forming a seal about an exterior of the sleeve. The sleeve includes an inner end (34) adjacent the interior of the housing and an outer end (36) outside the housing. The fiber optic connection module also includes a demateable fiber optic connection interface adjacent the outer end of the sleeve. The demateable fiber optic connection interface includes a fiber optic connector. Other aspects of the present disclosure relate to fiber optic connection modules having features that make such modules suitable to be mounted within a port defined by a volume of sealant.
