<p>The invention provides a bend/stress relief sleeve kit for installation over an existing fibre optic cable/fibre optic cable connector assembly without disassembly or modification of the existing fibre optic cable/fibre optic cable connector assembly, the kit comprising: an inner spiral wrap for wrapping the existing fibre optic cable/fibre optic cable connector assembly, overlapping at least part of the fibre optic cable connector and extending over the fibre optic cable, the spiral wrap providing bend relief; an outer mesh having a tubular passageway, for overlapping at least part of the fibre optic cable connector and extending over the fibre optic cable, the outer mesh covering at least a substantial portion of the inner spiral wrap; first fastening means for fastening the outer mesh to the fibre optic cable connector; and second fastening means for fastening the outer mesh to the fibre optic cable; whereby the combination of the outer mesh, the first fastening means and the second fastening means provides tensile strength to the existing fibre optic cable/fibre optic cable connector assembly; and whereby the outer mesh provides a smooth exterior surface to prevent snagging with outside obstructions.</p> |
