Abstract
The present disclosure provides assemblies for supporting optical fiber connections. In embodiments, an optical fiber box includes a main body and a cover defining an installation cavity. A separator and a plurality of spacers are arranged in the main body and divide the installation cavity into first and second cavities and a plurality of installation channels for receiving optical fiber connectors of a type including a sleeve. Installation holes arranged at intervals along the length of the separator receive the sleeves. The plurality of installation channels and the plurality of installation holes are arranged in one-to-one correspondence. The optical fiber box optionally includes a shutter assembly at the entrance to each installation channel. In embodiments, at least the main body, the separator, and the plurality of spacers are integrally formed to provide a connection solution that does not require separate optical fiber adapters.
