A protective caddy for the installation of an optical fiber cable in optical fiber ducting which temporarily protects a duplex optical fiber cable assembly for an optical fiber duplex connector during insertion of the assembly into a length of ducting. The duplex optical fiber cable assembly comprises a duplex optical fiber cable and a pair of optical fiber connector sub-assemblies. The protective caddy comprises a pair of receptacles, each for receiving one of the optical fiber connector sub-assemblies. Each receptacle has a recess for protectively receiving the termination end of one of the optical fiber ferrules. In use, both the duplex optical fiber cable and the pair of optical fiber connector sub-assemblies are held to the elongate body so that the termination ends are protected by the recesses during insertion of the protective caddy and duplex optical fiber cable assembly into the length of ducting.

A cable pulling assembly includes an enclosure that is adapted for enclosing an SC type connector end of a fiber optic cable. The enclosure includes a first member that defines a first cavity. The first cavity is adapted to receive a portion of a SC connector. The enclosure further includes a second member that is selectively engaged to the first member. The second member defines a second cavity. The second member may be structurally identical to the first member. The enclosure is adapted to transfer a tensile force applied to the enclosure to the strength layer of the fiber optic cable.

The present invention relates to a pulling eye for a submarine cable, a method of installing the pulling eye for a submarine cable, and a submarine cable including the pulling eye.

The present disclosure discloses a plug protection cap that includes a main body, a connecting sleeve, and a traction stub. An accommodating cavity is disposed in the main body. An inlet is through the accommodating cavity that is disposed on an end face of one end of the main body. A locking part is disposed at a position that is on an inner circumferential surface of the accommodating cavity and that is near the inlet. One end of the connecting sleeve detachably sheathes one end that is of the main body and that is away from the inlet, and the other end of the connecting sleeve is rotatably connected to one end of the traction stub. The present disclosure further discloses an optical fiber connector assembly, a fiber plug, and a network device.

A packaging arrangement for telecommunications cabling is disclosed herein. The packaging arrangement includes a modular spool assembly defined by a first flange, an opposing second flange, and a spool hub separating the first flange from the second flange, wherein a telecommunications cable may be wound between the first and second flanges. Each flange defines a first cable contact side, a second cable-end storage side, and an opening allowing the telecommunications cable to pass from the first side to the second side, the second side defining a storage compartment for storing an end of the telecommunications cable passing through the opening in the flange.

A crimp-on single-use lanyard assembly which includes a cord portion and an elongated, hollow wire-accepting connector body connected to the cord portion utilizes a connector body which includes a window through which a user can visually determine whether the wire has been inserted endwise into the interior of the connector body by a predetermined distance or, more specifically, to a near fully-accepted position within the connector body. In addition, the hollow interior of the connector body has a coarse surface provided with a plurality of projections disposed thereacross so that when the connector body is crimped about the inserted wire, the projections of the coarse surface bite into the wire and thereby enhances the grip of the connector body about the inserted wire.

The present invention discloses a cable pulling assembly, comprising: a connector connected to an end of a cable; and a pulling device connected to a housing of the connector, wherein a first engagement portion is formed on an inner wall of the pulling device, a second engagement portion, adapted to be engaged with the first engagement portion, is formed on an outer wall of the housing of the connector, and when the pulling device is sleeved on the housing of the connector and when the first and second engagement portions are engaged with each other, the pulling device is connected to the housing of the connector. The pulling device can be simply and quickly assembled to and disassembled from the housing of the connector in the field.
