Fiber Optic Enclosure Assemblies and Methods for Forming and Using the Same

摘要

A fiber optic enclosure assembly for protecting an optical fiber includes a tubular body member, an end member and a coupling member. The tubular body member has first and second opposed ends and defines an interior body passage to receive a portion of the optical fiber. The end member is separately formed from the body member and is mounted on the first end thereof. The coupling member is directly bonded to each of the body member and the end member to secure the end member to the body member and to form an environmental seal between the end member and the body member. The body member and the end member are formed of dissimilar materials, the material of the body member being more flexible than the material of the end member. The coupling member is formed of a material capable of forming a secure bond with both the material of the body member and the material of the end member.
