ABSTRACT:
An anchored fiber optic cable assembly. The assembly comprises: a plurality of fiber optic cables and an anchor. Each of the cables comprises a strength member, and a jacket around the strength member. The cable includes a first end and a second end. The anchor includes a first end and a second end, and a plurality of passages extending through the anchor from the first end to the second end. Each of said cables is mounted in a respective one of the passages such that the strength member is bonded to the anchor. An anchored cable assembly mounted in a housing is also described, as are methods of anchoring the cables and methods of mounting the anchored cables in a housing. Each of the cables may include an optical fiber in the jacket.
