摘要

A fiber optic cable assembly with an optical fiber extending through first and second overlapping cable jackets. The first cable jacket is slidably received within a longitudinal opening of the second cable jacket. A first end of the optical fiber is fixed with respect to the first cable jacket and a second optical fiber is fixed with respect to the second cable jacket.
