ABSTRACT:
A thermal protection device for a fiber optic cable includes a loop formed on the cable and a plurality of sub-units within the cable removed from an outer jacket. A circumferential cut is made through an outer jacket of each sub-unit. A tube is placed about the cut in each sub-unit. A carrier is positioned about each of the tubes and each sub-unit including a circumferential cut. A fiber optic system includes a thermal protection device for sub-units of a fiber optic cable within a frame. A method of providing thermal protection for a fiber optic cable. A kit for providing thermal protection to telecommunications cables.
