FIBER OPTIC CABLE HOLDER AND METHOD

摘要

A cable holder (10) holds an end (180) of a fiber optic cable (12). In one embodiment, the fiber optic cable (12) is a fiber optic cable that will be connectorized, spliced, or otherwise connected to telecommunications equipment. The cable holder (10) can be removed and the cable can be connectorized, spliced, or otherwise connected to telecommunications equipment. The cable holder (10) can be mounted in a holding device for holding the cable holders (10). The cable holders (10) can include indicia (36) for identifying the cable holder. The cable holder (10) can include a light blocking element (50) for blocking fiber optic signals being carried by the cable (12) during storage. The cable holder (10) can include a device which is reactive to fiber optic signals so as to provide an indication that the fiber optic cable (12) is carrying active signals.
