ABSTRACT:
A pre-terminated cable assembly includes: a fiber optic cable comprising a plurality of optical fibers surrounded by a polymeric jacket; the jacket including a transition region, wherein the plurality of optical fibers is broken out into fiber subunits on one side of the transition region; a sleeve fixed to the transition region; and a circumferentially compressing member mounted on the transition region of the jacket adjacent the fixing sleeve. In this configuration, the cable assembly can have sufficient strain relief and protection for the optical fibers as the cable is manipulated into place during installation.
