<p>The present disclosure relates to techniques for facilitating installing a fiber optic connector at the end of a fiber optic cable (2). One aspect of the disclosure involves splicing a first fiber optic cable to a second fiber optic cable. The second fiber optic cable may be pre-connectorized. In certain embodiments, a plurality of splice enclosure components (70,90) are positioned to form a splice enclosure that encloses the portion of an optical fiber of the first cable that is spliced to an optical fiber of the second cable. The splice enclosure protects the optical fibers at the site of the splice and securely holds the strength members (200A, 200B) of the fiber optic cables. Furthermore, cable enclosure components (120,160) are positioned to form a cable enclosure that encloses the splice enclosure and exposed portions of the fiber optic cables.</p> |
