ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic cable connection assembly includes an enclosure housing and a fiber optic cable. The enclosure housing defines a chamber and a fiber handling region disposed in the chamber. The fiber optic cable has a lengthwise cable axis and including a plurality of cable optical fibers, a jacket surrounding the cable optical fibers and a strength member extending through the jacket. The cable includes an arcuately bent cable segment disposed in the chamber. The bent cable segment defines a cable plane and an interior region within the arc of the bent cable segment. At least one of the cable optical fibers extends fully through the enclosure housing uncut. The strength member extends fully through the enclosure housing uncut. The fiber handling region is disposed in the interior region. At least one of the cable optical fibers is removed from the bent cable segment and routed into the fiber handling region where at least a portion of the removed cable optical fiber is stored and/or spliced to another optical fiber.
