The present disclosure relates to fiber optic enclosure, and more particularly, to a fiber optic enclosure with cable payout.
As demand for telecommunications increases, fiber optic networks are being extended in more and more areas. In facilities such as multiple dwelling units, apartments, condominiums, businesses, etc., fiber optic enclosures are used to provide a subscriber access point to the fiber optic network. These fiber optic enclosures are connected to the fiber optic network through subscriber cables connected to a network hub. However, the length of subscriber cable needed between the fiber optic enclosure and the network hub varies depending upon the location of the fiber optic enclosure with respect to the network hub. As a result, there is a need for a fiber optic enclosure that can effectively manage varying lengths of subscriber cable.
An aspect of the present disclosure relates to a fiber optic enclosure assembly for enclosing optical fiber connections. The fiber optic enclosure assembly includes a housing having an interior region and a bearing mount disposed in the interior region of the housing. A cable spool is connectedly engaged with the bearing mount such that the cable spool selectively rotates within the housing. A termination module is disposed on the cable spool so that the termination module rotates in unison with the cable spool.
Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to a method of paying out a fiber optic cable from a fiber optic enclosure. The method includes rotating a cable spool, which has a subscriber cable coiled around a spooling portion of the cable spool, about an axis of a housing of the fiber optic enclosure until a desired length of subscriber cable is paid out. The cable spool is disposed in an interior region of the fiber optic enclosure and a termination module is disposed on the cable spool.
A variety of additional aspects will be set forth in the description that follows. These aspects can relate to individual features and to combinations of features. It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the broad concepts upon which the embodiments disclosed herein are based.
Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary aspects of the present disclosure that are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like structure.

In one embodiment, the bearing 75 is engaged with an inner diameter of a central hole of the cable spool 37. In another embodiment, a rotary plain bearing is formed between the outer surface 73 of the bearing mount 71 and the inner diameter of the central hole of the cable spool 37. In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the bearing mount 71 is sized to fit within an inner diameter of a central hole of the spooling portion 39. The engagement of the bearing mount 71 and the spooling portion 39 of the cable spool 37 allows the cable spool 37 to rotate about the central axis 77 of the bearing mount 71.

A method of installing and using the fiber optic enclosure 21 to account for the varying lengths of subscriber cable 22 needed between the fiber optic enclosure 21 and the fiber distribution hub 17 will now be described. The fiber optic enclosure 21 provides dual functionality by serving as a storage location for the subscriber cable 22 and by selectively paying out a desired length of the subscriber cable 22.
A first length of subscriber cable 22 is stored in the fiber optic enclosure 21 by coiling the length of subscriber cable 22 around the cable spool 37. The first length of subscriber cable 22 includes an installation length, which is sufficiently long to extend from the mounting location of the enclosure 28 to the fiber distribution hub 17, and an excess length, which is the length of subscriber cable 22 remaining on the cable spool 37 after the installation length has been paid out. In one embodiment, the first length is greater than or equal to about 100 feet. In another embodiment, the first length of subscriber cable 22 is greater than or equal to about 200 feet. In another embodiment, the first length of subscriber cable 22 is greater than or equal to about 300 feet. In another embodiment, the first length of subscriber cable 22 is greater than or equal to about 400 feet. In another embodiment, the first length of subscriber cable 22 is greater than or equal to about 500 feet. In another embodiment, the first length of subscriber cable 22 is in the range of about 100 to about 2,000 feet. In another embodiment, the first length of subscriber cable 22 is in the range of about 100 to about 1,500 feet. In another embodiment, the first length of subscriber cable 22 is in the range of about 500 to about 1,500 feet. In a preferred embodiment, the first length of subscriber cable 22, which is coiled around the cable spool 89, is in the range of 100 to 500 feet.
In one embodiment, a second length, or the excess length, of subscriber cable 22 is stored around the cable spool 37 after the first length of subscriber cable 22 has been paid out. If the first length of subscriber cable 22 is greater than the installation length of subscriber cable 22, the second length, or excess length, is stored around the cable spool 37.
The second function of the fiber optic enclosure 21 involves the selective payout of the subscriber cable 22. With the cable spool 37 mounted to the bearing mount 71, the first end of the subscriber cable 22 in connected engagement with the front sides 413 of the adapters 401 and the outgoing optical fibers disengaged from the back sides of the adapters 401, the subscriber cable 22 can be paid out through fiber ports 79 disposed in the first and second sidewalls 29, 31. The subscriber cable 22 is paid out of the fiber optic enclosure 21 by selectively rotating the cable spool 37 with respect to the housing 23 about the central axis 77 of the bearing mount 71. As the termination module 45 is disposed on the axial end 41 of the cable spool 37, the selective rotation of the cable spool 37 with respect to the housing 23 results in the selective rotation of the termination module 45. Since the termination module 45 rotates unitarily with or in unison with the cable spool 37, the second end of the subscriber cable 22 can be paid out without the first end of the subscriber cable 22 being pulled out of the termination module 45.
Once the desired length of subscriber cable 22 has been paid out, the rotation of the cable spool 37 is ceased. At this point, the position of the cable spool 37 can be fixed such that it does not rotate relative to the housing 23. In one embodiment, a pin is inserted through an opening in the axial end 41 of the cable spool 37 and through a corresponding opening in the base 27 of the housing 23 to fix the position of the cable spool 37 with respect to the housing 23. It will be understood, however, that the scope of the present disclosure is not limited to the use of a pin to fix the position of the cable spool 37 with respect to housing 23.
An alternate method of selectively paying-out subscriber cable 22 from the fiber optic enclosure 21 will now be described. With the fiber optic enclosure 21 positioned near the fiber distribution hub 17, the second end of the subscriber cable 22 is unwound from the cable spool 37. In one embodiment, the second end is optically connected to the fiber distribution hub 17. With the second end of the subscriber cable 22 optically connected to the fiber distribution hub 17 and the first end of the subscriber cable 22 in connected engagement with the termination module 45, the fiber optic enclosure 21 is transported away from the fiber distribution hub 17. In one embodiment, the fiber optic enclosure 21 is carried away from the fiber distribution hub 17 by an installer. In another embodiment, the fiber optic enclosure 21 is transported away from the fiber distribution hub 17 in a wheeled cart (e.g., dolly, 4-wheeled cart, etc.). In a preferred embodiment, the fiber optic enclosure is disposed in a packaging enclosure (e.g., a box) during transport. As the fiber optic enclosure 21 is transported away from the fiber distribution hub 17, the subscriber cable 22 unwinds from the cable spool 37 causing the cable spool 37 to rotate within the interior region 33 of the housing 23, which is disposed in the packaging enclosure. When the fiber optic enclosure 21 has been transported to its mounting location, the fiber optic enclosure 21 is removed from the packaging enclosure, mounted to the mounting location. The cable spool 37 can be fixed in position relative to the housing 23 to prevent inadvertent rotation of the cable spool 37.

The housing 123 includes a base wall 120, a first sidewall 127 and an oppositely disposed second sidewall 128. The first and second sidewalls 127, 128 extend outwardly from the base wall 120 such that the base wall 120 and the first and second sidewalls 127, 128 cooperatively define an interior region 130.
In the subject embodiment, the first sidewall 127 of the housing 123 defines a first port 131 while the second sidewall 128 defines a second port 132. The subscriber cable 122 enters/exits the fiber optic enclosure 121 at the first port 131 or at the second port 132. In the subject embodiment, both of the first and second ports 131, 132 are provided as knockout portions.
A cable spool 137 is positioned within the interior region 130 of enclosure 121. In the subject embodiment, the cable spool 137 is adapted for rotation within the interior region 130 of the enclosure 121. In the subject embodiment, the cable spool 137 includes a first axial end 136, an oppositely disposed second axial end 138 and a spool portion 139.

The spool portion 139 is adapted to receive a subscriber cable 122 coiled around or spooled on the spool portion 139.
With the subscriber cable 122 spooled on the spool portion 139, the subscriber cable 122 can be selectively paid out by rotating the cable spool 137. As the cable spool 137 is rotated, the subscriber cable 122 is unwound from the spool portion 139 of the cable spool 137. After a desired length of subscriber cable 122 has been paid out, pin openings 141 can be used with a pin to fix the position of cable spool 137 relative to housing 123.
The subscriber cable 122 is shown with a connectorized end 144 (e.g., MTP connector) for connecting to the fiber distribution hub 17 or other equipment. An opposite end of the subscriber cable 122 passes through an opening 145 disposed in the first axial end 136 of the cable spool 137. After passing through the opening 145, the subscriber cable 122 is routed to a fanout 147 disposed on the first axial end 136 of the cable spool 137 where the cable is broken out into individual fibers 124 having connectorized ends 146 (e.g., SC connectors).
A cable management spool 161 is also disposed on the first axial end 136 of the cable spool 137. The cable management spool 161 manages fibers 124. In the subject embodiment, the cable management spool 161 includes a plurality of fingers 162 disposed on an end of the cable management spool 161. The fingers 162 assist with cable retention.
