DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present cognate application is based on, and claims priority from, the Indian Application Numbers, 201721025207 filed on 16th July 2017, 201721025208 filed on 16th July 2017, 201721025209 filed on 16th July 2017 and 201721026418 filed on 25th July 2017, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Over the last few years, there has been a sudden growth in demand for installation of optical fiber cables for various communication and sensing applications. These optical fiber cables are installed in long haul and multi-branched communication networks. These communication networks have multiple independent optical fiber cable terminations. These optical fiber cable terminations are generally enclosed in the cable termination boxes for protection and distribution of optical fiber links to various customer premises for a variety of applications. Typically, these cable termination boxes are installed in various buildings, offices and the like. The excess length of optical fiber cables is often wound on spools for future extension of the cable. The fiber optic termination box may be a wall mounted enclosure to receive optical fiber cables directly from feeding stations. Multiple feeding cable and receiving cables are connected in the termination boxes for distributing data over a large branched communication network. To achieve the objective, the fiber optic termination boxes are designed with combinations of fiber optic adaptors, splitters and connectors. These adaptors or splice trays arrangements are hinge type arrangements. Further, these termination boxes are installed at a certain height from the ground.
[0003] These fiber optic termination boxes include a number of PG glands with round holes. These round holes allow entry of feeder cables inside the termination boxes. Accordingly, few optical fibers inside the feeder cable are dropped into a primary splitter box inside the termination box for distribution. Similarly, the remaining optical fibers inside the feeder cable are fed to individual boxes for termination and distribution. However, the feeder cable has to be cut in multiple locations in order to distribute optical fibers. This is due to the round shaped holes in PG glands. Further, there is a risk of alien key free fall from the termination box installed at a great height. Furthermore, the adaptor tray or splice tray hinge type arrangement leads to damage of fibers or chance of macro or micro bends. In light of the above, there is a need for a light weight, environmentally robust fiber optic termination enclosure with simplified installation practices that overcomes the above stated disadvantages.
