ABSTRACT:
A device and a method which utilizes semi-interpenetrating polymer networks for strain relief of fiber or cable. The need for adhesives and mechanical means for cable or fiber retention is eliminated while performance and reliability is enhanced. In one embodiment a first polymer network is fabricated in an undersized plug which is in turn placed inside a hollow connector housing with an open end and at least one aperture for a cable to pass through. The void created between the plug and the connector shell is then subsequently filled by adding a second polymer to fill the unit. The unit is then placed in a curing chamber so that the polymer can swell and completely fill any voids between the plug and the connector shell.
