FIBER OPTIC CABLES SEAL AND/OR STRAIN RELIEF MEMBERS

摘要

Fiber optic cables seal and/or strain relief members (26) and related assemblies and methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, an elongated member is provided that facilitates providing sealing and/ or strain relief of a portion of multiple fiber optic cables (46) not enclosed within a common outer cable jacket or sheath when disposed through the opening of the fiber optic terminal (30). In one embodiment, the elongated member includes a sealing portion (86) configured to facilitate sealing of a fiber optic terminal opening (54) when the multiple fiber optic cables (46) are received in the sealing portion (86) and the elongated member is disposed through the opening (54) of the fiber optic terminal (30). In another embodiment, the elongated member includes a strain relief portion (68) on a second end configured to receive and provide strain relief to the multiple fiber optic cables (46) disposed inside the fiber optic terminal (30), when the elongated member is disposed through the fiber optic terminal opening (54).
