Zusammenfassung:A fiber optic termination sealingly connects to a cable which includes a casing having a cable tube and optical fibers. The termination includes a sealed housing, a manifold, a connector and termination tubes. The housing has an inlet to sealably receive the cable. The fibers extend from an end of the cable into a sealed chamber of the housing. The manifold is positionable in the housing, and has an inlet to receive the fibers and sealed passages shaped to distribute the fibers therethrough the connector includes contacts communicatively connectable to equipment and the fibers. The termination tubes are positionable within the chamber of housing, and have an entry end sealingly connectable to an end of the cable tube and a contact end sealingly connectable to the contacts. The manifold sealingly connectable to the termination tubes to define a sealed channel the optical fibers are disposable through the sealed channel whereby the housing and the termination tubes define a multi-layer protective environment for sealingly encasing the optical fibers.
