Disclosed is a strain relief interface for connecting a packaged optical device and an optical fibre. The optical fibre passes through a snout bore extending from a side wall of the package. The interface comprises two moulded jackets. The first moulded jacket surrounds, and is affixed to, a sheathed section of optical fibre from which a fibre jacket has been removed. A first end of the first moulded jacket is affixed to a fibre jacket that encases an adjacent section of optical fibre. A second end of the first moulded jacket is affixed to the snout bore and to a ferrule located within the snout bore. The second moulded jacket surrounds, and is affixed to, the first moulded jacket, a portion of the fibre jacket and the snout bore. Also disclosed is a method for fabricating a strain relief interface.
