Abstract

A fiber optic enclosure for enclosing optical fiber connections includes a housing, a bulkhead, and a cover assembly. The housing has a base and a first sidewall oppositely disposed from a second sidewall. The base and the first and second sidewalls, which extend outwardly from the base, define an interior region with an open-front portion and an open-side portion. The bulkhead is disposed in the interior region of the housing. The cover assembly has a first cover plate that has a first end portion pivotally engaged with the housing and a second end portion pivotally engaged with a second cover plate. The first cover plate closes the open-side portion of the housing and the second cover plate closes at least a portion of the open-front portion of the housing when the cover assembly is in a closed position.
