Cable Guide for Fiber Optic Cables

摘要

A fiber optic cable guide may have an elongated base member that is curved along at least a portion of its length to define and limit the amount of curvature to be applied to a portion of a fiber optic cable while also defining the angular offset applied to the cable. The guide may be releasably attachable to a cable, and may include a cable retention member at each end of the base member that retains the cable with the guide.

主权项

1. A fiber optic cable guide comprising:
an elongate support member for being disposed in a longitudinal direction of a fiber optic cable and configured for providing a radius of curvature to the fiber optic cable for changing a direction of the fiber optic cable; and a band having both a first end and a second end connected with the support member and configured to be disposed around the fiber optic cable to fasten the fiber optic cable to the support member; wherein the support member has a first end and a second end spaced apart longitudinally from the first end, the first end of the support member defining a first longitudinal axis, and at least a portion of the elongate support member being flexible between the first end and the second end to variably offset the second end at an angle with respect to the first longitudinal axis.
