ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic tube assembly including a tube having a longitudinal axis, at least one optical fiber, and at least one plug. The at least one optical fiber being at least partially disposed within the tube and the at least one plug being disposed within the tube at a predetermined location. A portion of the at least one optical fiber disposed within the at least one plug is capable of moving about the longitudinal axis of the tube relative to at least one plug. In other embodiments, the at least one plug includes an interfacial layer.
