Abstract
An enclosure for outdoor cross-connection in telecommunications systems has a rectangular housing on a base. One or more columns are mounted in the housing, each column having a channel shaped back portion and a mounting member hinged at one side to one side of the back portion. Connectors are attached to the mounting member, conveniently by retainers fitting in slots in side walls of the mounting member, latch members holding the retainers in position. Connectors clip into the retainers and can be sealed by sealing compound in the retainers. Cable conductors pass up through the channel shaped back portion, conductors passing through into the mounting members and connected to the rear sides of connectors. Cross-connections are made to the front sides of the connectors.
