A dynamic compensator for a fiber optic cable having a jacket which is centered along a longitudinal axis, an elongated buffer tube surrounded by the jacket, and an elongated fiber surrounded by the buffer tube and dimensioned to move radially inwards and outwards within the buffer tube. The dynamic compensator includes a cable holder configured to receive and loop a portion of the fiber optic cable so that when the jacket elongates, the fiber extending along the loop is displaced radially inwards so as to release stresses upon end portions of the fiber, and when the jacket shrinks, the fiber is displaced radially outward to increase stresses upon the end portions of the fiber.
