ABSTRACT:
Multiple fibers are broken out of multifiber cables and sheathed in tubing segments which permit the sheathed fibers to be terminated as single optical fiber conduits. The cable jacket is cut back exposing a plurality of buffer tube-encased optical fibers. The tubing segments, each having a yarn strengthening member extending from both ends, are slipped onto the buffer tubes leaving a slight discontinuity between the end of the jacket and the inner ends of the tubing segments. The yarn strengthening members are wrapped and glued around the buffer tubes in the discontinuity. At the other end, the optical fibers are terminated in a conventional manner in high performance connectors with the strengthening members firmly attached to the connectors. The strengthening members of the tubing segments, attached at one end to the cable and at the other end to the termination connectors, relieve stress on the optic fibers and provide terminations with substantial pull-out strength.
