An optical fiber bend limiting device (310) including a first side portion (320) and a second side portion (330) between which at least one optical fiber (102) is sandwiched. The first side portion (320) may comprise a composite structure including a plastic layer adhered by a first adhesive layer to a foam layer which foam layer (326) may be adhered to a further foam layer (332) constituting the second side portion (330). Ends (312, 314) of the bend limiting device (310) may include apertures for facilitating mounting of the device (310) to connecting structures such as circuit boards which may be disposed and displaceable parallel to each other. The optical fiber bend limiting device (310) allows movement of the optical fibers (302) while preventing the optical fibers from bending beyond a bend radius limit. |
