ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method to protect fiber ribbons. A router having a body and cap are disclosed. Fiber cable sheath is stripped from one end, and the fiber ribbons thus exposed are inserted through the body and through cap bores in the cap. The cap is frictionally pushed into the body, and transportation tubes are installed over the fiber ribbons. The cap bores are sized to frictionally admit one end of a transportation tube, which has the effect of holding the transportation tubes in place. An optional insert is disclosed which has the function of reducing the body minor barrel bore diameter through which the fiber cable enters the router.
