FIBEROPTIC CABLE ASSEMBLY

摘要

A fiberoptic cable assembly includes a cable provided as a continuous length of a bundle of optic fibers enclosed within a flexible sheathing and a rigid or semi- rigid protective pistol-grip handle formed about at least a portion of one of the ends of the bundle of optic fibers. The handle includes a grip section, an elongate extension extending from the grip section, and an end fitting connected to an end tip on the extension. The extension extends from the grip section at an angle in a manner forming an elbow therebetween and providing a pistol grip configuration. Preferably, the elongate extension is of a length multiple times greater than its diameter or width.
