Abstract

An optical fiber cabinet for enclosing various optical fiber connections and/or terminations. The optical fiber cabinet includes a frame which defines an optical fiber connection-termination area with the frame including a base having a bottom opening, vertical support members, and a removable upper frame member. Clam-shell doors are rotatably attached to the vertical support members of the frame and have a closed and open position. In the closed position, the clam-shell doors cooperate with the frame to enclose the optical fiber connection-termination area. In the open position, the clam-shell doors are disposed away from the optical fiber connection-termination area to allow both horizontal and vertical access to the optical fiber connection-termination area. A connection box within which the optical fiber connections are mounted is disposed within the optical fiber connection-termination area of the cabinet and includes a door rotatable between a closed and open position. The vertical support members of the cabinet are sized such that the connection box door is permitted to rotate substantially more than 90.degree. between the closed and open positions when the clam-shell doors are in the open position.
