The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic cable that includes a plurality of internal optical fibers and a fiber optic cable portion. The fiber optic cable portion includes an outer jacket and an inner conduit, the inner conduit containing the plurality of optical fibers disposed therein. The fiber optic cable further includes a flexible conduit portion, wherein the flexible conduit portion has a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end is secured to the fiber optic cable portion and the distal end has a terminating device. The terminating device at least partially encases the flexible conduit portion, and the plurality of optical fibers passes through the flexible conduit portion and the terminating device.

Embodiments of a furcated optical fiber cable are provided. A main distribution cable has optical fibers surrounded by a cable jacket. The optical fibers are divided into at least two furcation legs. A furcation plug is located at a transition point between the main distribution cable and the at least two furcation legs. The furcation plug surrounds at least a portion of the main distribution cable and each of the at least two furcation legs. Optical connectors are provided for each of the at least two furcation legs, and each connector includes optical fibers that are spliced at a splice location to the optical fibers of the connector's respective furcation leg. The splice location is closer to the connector than to the furcation plug. A method of furcating an optical fiber cable and a pulling configuration for the furcated optical fiber cable are also provided.

The present disclosure relates to a hardened fiber optic fan-out arrangement including a fan-out housing. A plurality of fiber optic pigtails projects outwardly from the fan-out housing. The fiber optic pigtails have free ends including hardened de-mateable fiber optic connection interfaces. A fiber optic feeder cable also projects outwardly from the fan-out housing. The fiber optic feeder cable is optically coupled to the fiber optic pigtails.

An inner component used for a fan-out cord includes a first fixing portion that fixes a reinforcing tube that accommodates a plurality of optical fibers and a tension fiber, at least one second fixing portion that fixes a plurality of reinforcing tubes each of which accommodates at least one of the plurality of optical fibers, and an accommodation portion that accommodates the plurality of optical fibers exposed from the reinforcing tubes between the first fixing portion and the at least one second fixing portion.

The present disclosure relates to optical fiber plugs, optical fiber adapters, and optical fiber connector assemblies. One example optical fiber plug includes a ferrule, a sleeve, and a lock cap. At least one lock block is disposed on an inner wall of the lock cap. The at least one lock block is configured to be engaged and locked with a lock slot on an optical fiber adapter. Two stop blocks are disposed on the inner wall of the lock cap. A stop rod is disposed on an outer wall of the sleeve. The stop rod is located between the two stop blocks. The lock cap rotates relative to the sleeve within an angle range limited by the two stop blocks.

A reinforcement sleeve is a member for reinforcing a connection part of an optical fiber tape core wire, and comprises a heat-shrinkable tube, a heat-meltable member, a tension member, and the like. The heat-shrinkable tube is a cylindrical member. The tension member is a rod-shaped member. The tension member and the heat-meltable member are inserted in the heat-shrinkable tube. The heat-meltable member is disposed above the tension member. The tension member is approximately circular or approximately elliptical in a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the reinforcement sleeve. More specifically, the surface on the heat-meltable member side of the tension member is formed to have an arc-shaped convex curved surface in a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the tension member.

A method of sealing an optical cable is disclosed. The optical cable includes an outer jacket defining an interior space, an optical fiber assembly disposed in the interior space, and a plurality of reinforcing filaments disposed in the interior space between the outer jacket and the optical fiber assembly. The method includes the steps of peeling off one end of the outer jacket to expose one end of the optical fiber assembly and one ends of the reinforcing filaments, and introducing an adhesive into the interior space through an opening formed in the outer jacket when the one end of the outer jacket is peeled off so as to seal the opening and to fix the positions of the reinforcing filaments and the optical fiber assembly.

A breakout assembly for transitioning a multi-fibre optical cable into one or more individual fibres is disclosed. The breakout assembly includes a first housing segment engageable at a first end to the cable and engageable at a second end with one or more furcation tubes that each receive an individual fibre from the cable, and a second housing segment engageable at a first end to the cable and engageable at a second end with one or more furcation tubes that each receive an individual fibre from the cable. The first housing segment is securable to the second housing segment so as to encapsulate at least a portion of the individual fibres as they break out from the cable.

This invention discloses a type of optical cable wiring system, including: a main optical cable, first optical cable connector box and optical cable fan-out disposed near a first user zone; a second optical cable connector box disposed at a distance from the first user zone and near a second user zone; and a single main adapter optical cable disposed between the first optical cable connector box and second optical cable connector box. An optical cable fan-out converts a single main adapter optical cable to multiple branch adapter optical cables. Multiple branch adapter optical cables are connected to the main optical cable via a first optical cable connector box; multiple first distribution optical cables for the purpose of connection to a first user zone are connected to a main optical cable via a first optical cable connector box; multiple first distribution optical cables for the purpose of connection to a second user zone are connected to a single main adapter optical cable via a second optical cable connector box. In this manner, it becomes unnecessary to lay multiple second distribution optical cables over long distances between the first user zone and second user zone, thus reducing the laying length of second distribution optical cables, reducing material and labour costs, and additionally improving municipal aesthetics.
