ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an improved clip for supporting an end of an optical fiber relative to a mount surface. Typically, a sleeve is disposed over the optical fiber adjacent to its end. The clip comprises a clip body having upper and lower surfaces with a flange disposed adjacent to the lower surface. The flange is affixable to the mount surface, and walls extend from the upper surface of the body to define a channel at which the clip is affixable about the sleeve. Advantageously, when the sleeve is affixed within the channel, the body rigidly couples the sleeve to the flange, thereby avoiding misalignment between the optical fiber and any optical device which is on or supported by the mount surface.
