A separation and regrouping device for conductive elements such as optical fibers is disclosed. The device includes a housing and a pluralit y of conductive elements extending through an interior region thereof. The housin g surrounds encapsulation discontinuities formed on the conductive elements. T he housing can include a guide channel that channels the optical fibers through the interior region thereof and, optionally, rotates the fibers as they extend through the housing. The device can also include strain relief elements that contain the optical fibers and surround the encapsulation discontinuities, and potting chambers in which the optical fibers can be potted to the housing. Methods f or organizing conductive elements are also disclosed that include providing a plurality of conductive elements arranged in first groups, separating the first groups into individual conductive elements, and rearranging the individual conductive elements into second groups.
