    Abstract: A telecommunications closure (10) comprising cables (46), a cover (20), an interior frame (30), the frame (30) holding telecommunications equipment (32), and a seal block (40) sealing the cover (20) closed relative to one or more cables (46) which enter the closure (10). The frame (30) defines a plurality of clamp assembly holders (36). A plurality of clamp assemblies (60, 160, 260) are provided, each clamp assembly (60, 160, 260) for holding a cable including a jacket (48), interior optical fibers (52), and at least one interior strength member (50). Each clamp assembly (60, 160, 260) includes a jacket clamp assembly (64, 164, 264) moveable relative to the frame, and including a wrap (68) which mounts around the jacket, and a strength member clamp assembly (80, 180, 280) moveable relative to the frame. The wrap (68) wraps around the jacket (48) and is adjustable for different jacket diameters. The strength member clamp assembly (80, 180, 280) is mountable in a plurality of positions relative to the jacket clamp assembly (64, 164, 264) to account for variations in the relative location of the strength member relative to the jacket clamp assembly. The clamp assembly (60, 160, 260) is moveable relative to the frame (30) wherein the cable (46) is allowed to move to a proper position relative to the seal block (40) so as to reduce the likelihood of a leak by being centrally positioned relative to the cable opening through the seal block.

    Abstract: A method of fixing and moisture sealing a telecommunications cable that includes a jacket defining a jacket perimeter having a generally non-circular transverse cross-section with respect to an enclosure includes placing an adapter tube over the jacket, the adapter tube defining a perimeter having a generally circular transverse cross-section and a throughhole having a generally non-circular transverse cross-section; compressing the adapter tube around the jacket with a clamp; placing a portion of the adapter tube within a gel block of the enclosure, the gel block being provided at a location different than the location of the clamp; moisture sealing the adapter tube with sealant material of the gel block; and fixing the adapter tube and the telecommunications cable with respect to the enclosure to oppose pulling forces.
