Abstract:
An optical connection terminal assembly for a fiber optic communications network includes an optical connection terminal. The terminal includes a base, the base including an exterior wall, and a cover connected to the base wherein an interior cavity is defined between the base and the cover. The terminal further includes an all-dielectric self-supporting (“ADSS”) cable port defined in the cover, and a plurality of connector ports defined in the exterior wall of the base. The terminal assembly further includes an ADSS cable connector including a main body and a connector body, the ADSS cable connector positionable such that the connector body extends through the ADSS cable port into the interior cavity. The terminal assembly further includes an ADSS cable connected to the cable connector, wherein optical fibers of the ADSS cable extend through the ADSS cable connector and through the ADSS cable port into the interior cavity.
