ABSTRACT:
A detector card strain relief system for use with a fiber optic detector system is disclosed in which a detector card/strain relief brace is permanently fixed to the detector card for receiving a plurality of optical fibers exiting from a like plurality of detector cans. The plurality of optical fibers pass through two strain reliefs which are connected to either end of a monocoil. Each of the strain reliefs is connected respectively to the detector card/strain relief brace and a fiber termination mount such that the termination mount cannot be moved without moving the detector cans and, thus, the optical fibers are protected from pulling away from the detector cans while at the same time allowing for proper cooling of the detector cans and minimizing light leaking from the optical fibers. Alternate embodiments for the detector strain relief brace are provided such that the optical fibers may exit from the bottom or the side of the detector card.
