ABSTRACT:
A cable breakout assembly comprising: a cable furcation device joining a cable including an outer jacket and an inner optical fiber, to an upjacket. The upjacket includes an inner tube for receiving the optical fiber, a stranded strength member outside the inner tube, and an outer tube outside of the strength member. The cable furcation device includes a first end disposed around the end of the outer jacket of the cable. The second end has a projecting tube for receiving the outer tube of the upjacket, the first tube having an inner diameter receiving the inner tube and the optical fiber. The device has an outer crimp surface, and a crimp ring crimps the strength member to the crimp surface. A heat shrunk tube is positioned around a portion of the upjacket, the cable furcation device, and a portion of the cable.
