Abstract
A housing defines an internal cavity and an opening to the internal cavity. An end cap occludes the opening. Fiber optic cables extend through ports in the end cap. A support frame is connected to the end cap and is positioned in the internal cavity. The support frame includes a support member having opposite front and rear ends. The support frame includes upper and lower front extensions connected to the support member. The front extensions extend away from the support member and divergently with respect to one another. The front extensions are connected to the end cap. Flanges protruding from the front extensions receive strain relief for brackets. Container-like devices for containing optical fibers are carried by opposite sides of the support member. An elongate channel for receiving optical fibers and an elongate opening to the channel extend along the back side of a container-like device carried by the support member. A transition plate is mounted to the top of a container-like device carried by the support member. The transition plate includes protrusion that define aperture for receiving ties that hold optical fibers. An adjustment bracket is mounted in movable relation to …
