Abstract

Multi-rdrop closure systems for fiber optic cabling include an enclosure and a ganged drop plug. The enclosure defines a splice chamber therein and has a main cable access opening and a drop cable access opening into the splice, chamber. The drop cable access opening is displaced from the main cable access opening. The ganged drop plug is configured to be seal,ingly inserted into the drop cable access opening. The ganged drop plug (315) has a plurality of drop cables (120) extending therefrom and an unitary plug body (340) fixing the cables with jacket and strength members (305) in the port opening. The released fibres (306) of the drop cables are ribbonised at their end extending into the splice enclosure (303a).
