ABSTRACT:
An improved means and method for routing and managing ribbon type fiber optic cables used in the telecommunications industry. The means includes a split housing defining an entry channel formed by a shank adapted to be clamped beneath an outer sheath enclosing a plurality of ribbon cables whereby an included plurality of such ribbon cables enter the hollow shank and are conducted to a recess from which they are individually introduced into one of a plurality of parallel planar channels from which they are guided to separate locations for separation of the individual fibers comprising the ribbon cables to be further separated and terminated at final locations. The housings may be manufactured in a variety of sizes depending upon the number of ribbon cables to be routed, and may be used singly, or in serially associated fashion.
