Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A transition assembly for a hybrid trunk cable includes: a hybrid trunk cable comprising a plurality of power conductors and a plurality of optical fibers surrounded by a jacket; a transition cup having a cavity, the hybrid trunk cable entering a first end of the transition cup; a plurality of power cords exiting a second end of the transition cup, each of the power cords electrically connected to a respective power conductor; a plurality of fiber optic cords exiting the second end of the transition cup, each of the fiber optic cords optically connected to a respective optical fiber; and a weather-resistant material residing in the cavity of the transition cup to protect the power cords and the fiber optic cords within the cavity.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
That which is claimed is: 1. A transition assembly for a hybrid trunk cable, comprising: a hybrid trunk cable comprising a plurality of power conductors and a plurality of optical fibers surrounded by a jacket; a transition cup having a cavity, the hybrid trunk cable entering a first end of the transition cup, the transition cup having a second unsealed open end opposite the first end; a plurality of power cords exiting the second end of the transition cup, each of the power cords electrically connected to a respective power conductor at an electrical connection; a plurality of fiber optic cords exiting the second end of the transition cup, each of the fiber optic cords optically connected to a respective optical fiber at an optical connection; and a weather-resistant material residing in the cavity of the transition cup to protect the power cords and the fiber optic cords within the cavity, the weather-resistant material exposed through the second end of the transition cup, wherein the weather-resistant materials seals the electrical connections and the optical connections within the cavity. 2. The transition assembly defined in claim 1 , wherein the weather-resistant material comprises epoxy and/or polyurethane. 3. The transition assembly defined in claim 1 , wherein each power cord is spliced to its respective power conductor within the cavity. 4. The transition assembly defined in claim 3 , wherein the splices of the power conductors and power cords are engulfed in the weather resistant-material. 5. The transition assembly defined in claim 1 , wherein each optical fiber is spliced to its respective fiber optic cord within the cavity. 6. The transition assembly defined in claim 5 , wherein the splices of the optical fibers and the fiber optic cords are engulfed in the weather-resistant material. 7. The transition assembly defined in claim 1 , wherein each optical fiber passes through the transition cup to merge with a respective fiber optic cord. 8. A transition assembly for a hybrid trunk cable, comprising: a hybrid trunk cable comprising a plurality of power conductors and a plurality of optical fibers surrounded by a jacket; a transition cup having a cavity, the hybrid trunk cable entering a first end of the transition cup, the transition cup having a second unsealed open end opposite the first end; a plurality of power cords exiting the second end of the transition cup, each of the power cords spliced to a respective power conductor at an electrical connection; a plurality of fiber optic cords exiting the second end of the transition cup, each of the fiber optic cords spliced to a respective optical fiber at an optical connection; and a weather-resistant material residing in the cavity of the transition cup to protect the power cords and the fiber optic cords within the cavity, the weather-resistant material exposed through the second end of the transition cup, wherein the weather-resistant materials seals the electrical connections and the optical connections within the cavity. 9. The transition assembly defined in claim 8 , wherein the weather-resistant material comprises epoxy and/or polyurethane. 10. The transition assembly defined in claim 8 , wherein the splices of the power conductors and power cords are engulfed in the weather resistant-material, and wherein the splices of the optical fibers and the fiber optic cords are engulfed in the weather-resistant material.
