ABSTRACT:
A strain relief unit for a fiber shuffling device including a first attachment member adapted for attaching to the fiber shuffling device and a second attachment member connected to said first attachment member and adapted for attaching to a portion of a jacket of an optical fiber. The first and second attachment members may be connected by a support member. The strain relief unit directly connects a jacket of the optical fiber to the fiber shuffling device to relieve the jacketed fiber/ribbon of any load imposed thereon. The strain relief unit defines internal channels from the fiber shuffling device to an opening for receiving the jacketed fiber to limit the optical fiber/ribbon bend radiuses to acceptable levels.
