<p>A fibre optic separator has a housing (10) with input and output ports (11, 12). The input port (11) has one or more channels (31, 32) through which a fibre optic cable may enter the housing. The output port (12) has one or more passages (66-91) through which one or more optical fibres may exit the housing. Each channel/passage has an associated formation (35-38, 94-97) for retaining the protective casing, sheath, tube or the like which surrounds the optic cable/fibre, relative to the housing. The associated formation (35-38, 94-97) acts to relieve strain in the cable/fibre and may partly penetrate and/or frictionally or otherwise engage the protective casing, sheath, tube or the like.</p> |
